Happy Girl!
-Our happy little girl has found her hands! Over the past few days, Emma's random arm and hand movements have become a little more refined. Previously, if her hand accidentally found it's way to her mouth she tried to fit her whole fist in. Recently though, she's been able to put her hand to her mouth and then suck on a finger or two. Last night, she even refused her pacifier because she wanted her fingers! While we're not advocating her becoming a thumb sucker, this has provided her some entertainment and pacification in the past few days. It also reaffirms that she's becoming more self aware.
-Emma is truly a happy little girl. When she wakes up from a nap, she usually just looks around or amuses herself until she gets bored. Then, instead of all out crying, she'll let out this one sharp "WAH!" that is basically "Hey! I'm awake and bored!" When we go to get her, she'll give us the biggest smile. It's very cute!
She's a mover!
-Emma doesn't realize that she can rest when she has tummy time. She's constantly moving her legs trying to crawl. When she does put her head down, she doesn't realize that she doesn't have to rest on her forehead...she can turn her head and relax. This gets her frustrated and quickly ends tummy time!
-The past two nights, whenever I go in to feed her, her body has been at a 90 degree angle from how we laid her down. This position makes it easy for her to push her pacifier out of the crib...which means Mommy gets to crawl under the crib at 3am to find it!
It has been really fun for Kurt and I watching Emma grow and change so much in the last few weeks. We are so lucky to have such a great little girl.
