Wow! It's been a long time since our last post. I guess that's what happens when the school year starts and the students are all back on campus!
Emily has mastered rolling over from front to back and back to front. She went through a period where she would roll over to her stomach in her crib at night and not be able to get back to her back and would get mad about it. We would roll her back for her if she cried, but a few times she fell asleep like that. Now that it is colder outside, we have her sleeping in a baby sleeping bag of sorts that has holes for her head and arms, but keeps her legs zipped up in the big pouch. Since sleeping in that she hasn't been rolling over and waking up in the night which makes us all happy. She also uses that at naps instead of the swaddle, so I think we figured out an easy way to stop swaddling!
I was in a car accident on the 8th and thank goodness Emily wasn't with me. I am fine, but the car is not, it was declared a total loss and so we will be getting another new vehicle soon. While driving on a 4 lane highway a guy was turning from a side street and pulled out right into the side of the car, claiming to not see me at all. Sure was scary and has made me even more cautious on the road.
Emily got her first cold last week and then passed it on to both Mommy and Daddy in various forms of sore throat, stuffy nose, and exhaustion. We took her to the pediatrician just to be sure it was just a cold and learned that she is up to 18 pounds 9 ounces! With the colder weather we have put her in some of the pants outfits we bought quite a while ago and a few of the 9 month size pants are already getting tight on her! She continues to eat 4 bottles a day of 8 ounces of formula. She will start on rice cereal right after her 6 month birthday when we get back from a quick visit to Minnesota. She continues to do great at daycare and loves watching the other kids at Sue's house as they play.
