Emmylou ~ 4 months


Lua was born with black hair, quite a bit of it actually. Well all of that sweet baby hair has been falling out, and it looks like it's growing in blond! Right now she has the cutest little fuzzy head, so round and perfect! She has been teething and drooling much more than I ever remember Adelaide drooling. She actually should probably use a bib. She is such a happy girl though, always smiling and content, she never really makes a fuss unless her teeth are hurting her. She can now reach for things and she loves to rattle her rattle and chew on all of her toys. She has rolled from her belly to her back, as well as back to belly a few times now, though seems so content in whatever way I lay her down that she doesn't really roll much yet. I'm in no hurry, trying to savor these last few weeks of her being in one place for a while. She really loves to watch Adelaide dance around and sing to her, rewarding her with big smiles. Adelaide really likes to get right in her face and talk really loud, and even though it makes me crazy, Emmylou doesn't really even seem to care. She loves her big sister so much, you can already see it. She is already starting to grow out of her 6-9 month size is some brands, she is SO TALL! She sleeps so well at night, we just snuggle close and I nurse her maybe once or twice on a normal night, I don't really even know because I'm not really awake myself. Bedtime is a little tricky, she doesn't really like to sleep alone, so it's hard to get her down to sleep if I'm not going to bed as well. I try to get to bed early for her sake, and try and get her to lay down alone,  but I'm not really worried about it and not spending much time working on it. It's so funny the second time around, I realize that I made some things a lot harder than they needed to be the first time. She will sleep when she is tired, and I just have to give her the opportunity. She does fine in the car, she loves when I bring her in the bath with me to swim around, and likes to go outside and watch the leaves blow in the wind. She is so sweet and adorable, I can't believe I got so lucky twice!
