Milestones


  • Emilie is 2 months old. She weighed in at a whopping 10 lbs 11oz, ha! 23 3/4 inches, so might as well be 24 inches, with a giant head. Really. Height and head circumference are in the 97th percentile. Weight is in the 42nd percentile. All arms, legs, and HAIR oh my! Emilie with headbands -------------------->


  • We're sleeping longer stretches at night! Emilie sleeps anywhere from 4-7 hr stretches. I sleep about 2-4 hr stretches. I wake up constantly if Emilie sleeps for a long time. It's getting better. She has fully transitioned into her crib, although when daddy gets Em up at 5am, he feeds her and puts her back in bed with me so we can snuggle for a few hours. She's quite the little snuggly baby. 

  • A lot of firsts are coming up for us! On Monday I start my first day of my first year of teaching! I am so excited. It's part time and will be a pretty slow paced job; I'll only have three students to teach, and it's more one on one than whole class. I already have a few ideas for what to change and how to make this school year better than the last. 

  • As for Miss Emilie Monday will be her first full day with Amy, and away from me. I know I'll think about her the entire time I'm at work, but at least it's just a couple hours before I get to see her again. I think the first week will be rough, but she's with a wonderful, trustworthy person, so I know she will adapt.
