4 Months 

Four months ago today, I didn't get to meet you 

until the next day.  At first glance you were so small,

I hardly saw a baby at all. The tubes, wires and monitors,

were a frightening sight, but my sweet Emmett you were in 

it for a big fight.  Your big beautiful eyes opened and revealed

a window to your soul.  I knew at that moment God would

keep you here with me, by my side, in my arms, protecting

you undeniably. 

I can't believe four months has passed.  It has been a wild 

ride, but worth every minute.  Emmett has opened our eyes 

to a new strength and love that we didn't know we had.  He

wakes up with a big smile that lights up his whole face (and ours). 

He loves his big brother and talks up a storm when he is near.

At his check-up today he weighed a whopping 12 lbs and 

is 24 inches long.  He's starting to put objects in his mouth.

Dr. Krieger said his gums looked swollen today.  Its hard to

accept that he could be teething already!  We made the transition

from the bassinet to his crib 2 weeks ago and he's done great,

only waking once to eat at night. He's doing great health wise

and has been deemed a 'normal' baby otherwise.  We love

you Emme-nator (Jordan's nickname)!

How do I get this in my mouth?

Story time

I see cheeks!!!

This is how Emmett likes to go to sleep.  We knew the exercise

ball would be used someday!

Awww...seriously, could you be more adorable?!
