2 Months Old And Growing

I can't believe our sweet little Emerson is almost 10 weeks old. She has grown and changed so much. She is smiling a lot, kind of laughing, and cooing in response to our high pitched squeaky baby talk. The girls are still eager to hold, touch, and hug on Emerson--especially now that she notices them.

Emerson has really been a very easy baby and only had a couple of fussy days. I recently extended her night; and, she is sleeping from 7-7.5 hours (~10:30 pm - 6 am). So mommy is now getting between 5 and 6 hours of sleep and feeling semi-human!


At Emerson's 2 month check up on the 14th, she weighed in at 12 lbs 6 oz (77th percentile) and 24+ inches (90th percentile). S
he's a big girl, but Madeline still takes the cake. Looking back last night, I found the post and pics about Madeline's 2 month appointment. Here she is at the same age as Emerson (weighing in at 14 lbs and measuring 25 1/2 inches):

No wonder she wears a 4T at 2 (almost 3) years old and is almost the same size as her 5 year old sister!

Anyway, Miss Emerson is becoming more delightful each day. She is healthy and thriving. We are very blessed!

Emerson is so beautiful just like her sisters and Mommy!!!! You really have a wonderful family and I'm so glad you "share" them with us!

Are you going to come down Thanksgiving Weekend for the BA Alumni Reunion?? I would LOVE to see you and meet your girls!

She sure is a sweetie! I'm glad to read that you are stretching out the nights and returning to the land of the living. I know the girls love having a baby to dote on.

She is beautiful, just like the rest of the Brooks! I enjoy being able to watch the grow up (even if it is by technology). Love you guys and miss you!

She's so so pretty. I especially like the close up of her face while sitting on Jonathan's lap. My friend Jo Ellen just had her third daughter last week and so I'm enjoying both blogs of little girls!

She is so precious! Love the bows. I make sure there's one on Avery's head anytime we're out in effort to avoid the "Isn't he cute!" comments. :)
