Experiments in Life

So, when Ashley broached the idea of a Halloween costume for Emily, I was a little hesitant. My thoughts were, “She is so young, she will not remember anything we put her in, so why bother?” My next thought was, “She is so young, she will not remember anything we put her in. This is the perfect opportunity to dress her in something embarrassingly cute!” So, without further ado, I present our daughter, Yoda.

I mean, really, how often do you get to dress your daughter up as an 800 year old little green man?

Today Emily had her 4 month well visit. She got more shots, which she was not excited over. However, she did really well with them. She didn’t scream all the way home like last time. Of course, Jon will tell you it was because he was there. Daddy to the rescue. Well, here are her long awaited stats:

weight: 14 lbs 3 oz (75th percentile)
head circumference: 41.5 cm (75th percentile)
length: 25 3/4 inches long (90th percentile)

As you can see, she is quite tall for her age, and her head is huge!!! We all knew Emily would most likely be tall, but this is crazy. She is on the verge of wearing 6-9 month clothes. If you had told me my 4 month old would be at least one size ahead in clothing, I would have said that you were crazy. Oh well, guess she really is going to take after Jon in the height department. At least she still has my nose! But at this rate, she’ll be taller than me before she gets out of grade school!

Well, that’s all for now. She goes back in another 2 months. Who knows how big she will be by then.

Stay tuned for more Emily updates…

Well, it has been a busy week, but I have finally gotten around to uploading pictures from Emily’s baptism at Wesley United Methodist Church on Sunday, October 7th, 2007. I also included a few pictures from my parents house after church. Notice her pretty little bracelet, courtesy of Rae’s Jewelry. She also had a pretty little necklace on, but you cannot really see for the gown.
