Quick update from Dave
Emily will be 4 next month so I thought I would post a quick update. We are also taking her on her first flight tomorrow morning, so this might be followed up with a tale of frustration or surprise. We’ll see.
First, Emily is getting ready to crawl. She is so ready. She has been rolling over since week 7, has been smiling and interacting since about 8 weeks and is itching to start crawling. She puts her legs up and tries, but most of the time the carpet or the bed is to slippery for her to get a footing. That is ok, it’s a good exercise. She also has started grabbing anything we have in our hands. Whatever we have, she wants. And everything she gets a hold of goes right into her mouth. We thought she was starting to teethe about 6 weeks ago, but the drooling has continued with no teeth. Not a problem. Burp rags come in handy for all that saliva.
She is a little over 17 pounds and pretty big. She was big when she was born but seems to be tapering off on the quick weight gain. Again, not a problem. Big babies are cute. Her eyes are still blue but since brown eyes are common in my family, we are waiting for the change. Patti got her first pictures taken yesterday and we can’t wait to get them. We take a bunch of pictures, as you can tell from this web site, but this was done in a studio, so, I guess, they will look better. I don’t know. I just do what I am told.
That is it. I have to get back to work so I can get out of here. There is much more to say, like stories about our house hunting in an extremely over-inflated Boston market, but I have to get back to the tar pits. I’ll write more after or during our trip to Minnesota.
