Finally another update!

    Wow, its been almost a month since I last posted. Crazy how time flies. Everything has been going well here in the Herlein house. Our little Emery has been growing like a weed! She weighs 11lbs 8oz and is 23 1/2in long. She is getting some super cute chunky thighs with some awesome little rolls. Aside from her thighs she is still really skinny. She is 11 weeks old today and can still fit into her newborn clothes. Oh man, I just love her so much!

    Here are some things that have been going on with our family recently. Last week we went to my cousin Jessicas wedding. It was absolutely beautiful, she was one the most gorgeous brides I have ever seen. I am so happy for her and her new husband Mike. He will be a great addition to the Davis family. At the wedding there was a photo booth guest book, so of course we had to get our pictures taken. Emery had been having a really good day, not much spit up, not fussy, no tummy aches, just a happy baby. Well, we go into the photo booth and the first picture turned out ok, between the first and second picture Emery starts spitting up and the 2nd picture was taken as I was flinging the spit rag up and it looks like its hitting Brock in the face and Emery has spit up running down her chin. The third picture Emery was still spitting up and I was trying to calm her down and Brock was just cracking up. The fourth picture turned out ok. So we asked the photo booth guy if we could do it again since she spit up. The second set wasnt much better though. We ended up putting the first set in the guest book since it was so fitting for our everyday life.

    My mom and dad bought Emery a sleeping wedge. It is phenomenal. Its basically just a foam wedge with a harness that keeps Emery strapped onto it so she doesnt slide off in the middle of the night. Emery no longer wakes up covered in spit up or scrunched down at the bottom of her crib from sliding off the blankets we used to prop her up before. We are so thankful that we have such generous parents! Love you Grandpa Steve and Grandma Jenn, thanks for some great nights of sleep.

     Speaking of sleep. Emery has been sleeping 10-11 hours most nights. She usually goes to bed at 9:30pm, then she'll wake up around 8am. I change her bum and feed her and she usually sleeps for another 3 hours after that. She has been doing this regularly for the last 3 or 4 weeks. A couple nights ago she woke up after 6 hours and I was falling asleep feeding her. I am so glad she is such a great sleeper! I love her 11 hour nights!

    Emery has discovered her tongue. She is always sticking it out and chewing on it and trying to lick things. Last week she was holding onto Brocks fingers and she pulled them up to her mouth and he thought she was going to suck on them but she just licked them a couple times and then pushed his hand away. haha, things have definitely become a lot more slobbery around here!

      Emery is getting so strong! She can hold her head up all by herself with no problems. She has yet to roll over, but she is much more interested in kicking her legs during tummy time than using her arms to do anything. When she is propped up on a pillow while lying on her back she tries so hard to sit up, she is definitely not strong enough yet, but she is working those abs with all the baby crunches she does. She loves her bumbo, but since she is still so skinny we have to wrap a blanket around her waist to fill in all the extra room. Once the blanket is there to help hold her up she loves to look around.

  Well I think thats all for now. I'll try to write more soon. Hopefully I wont let another month go by without updating. So check back soon, and if I haven't written make sure you tell me to stop being lazy. Goodnight!
