Emma: October 2015

I have been so behind in blogging since I went back to work but I'm trying hard to catch up. This is what Emma was up to in October.


She rolled over for the first time at 9.5 weeks old from tummy to back! (It is currently December and she hasn't rolled back to tummy yet, but she tries really hard)


We went to visit my Grandparents in Austin and she was so fussy the whole weekend. She wouldn't even be happy with Bobby. She did sleep the entire 6 hour drive down there and the 3 hour drive back though, so I'm glad that went well.



She turned two months old on Septermber 30th So she had her 2 month well visit October 1st. She is 23.25 in (85%) and 11 lbs 8 oz (54th%) she long and skinny like her daddy. She got her first shots and I was by myself. I almost cried, almost. The doctor said she is in very good health. After her shots we nursed and she was out for several hours.

She started daycare October 5th and that week was really hard for me. She started off doing really great, and then started not drinking much from the bottle and stopped sleeping through the night and getting up to nurse. This whole working mom thing is no joke. She also doesn't sleep at day care just few short catnaps all day. Because of this, she comes homes and crashes hard for the night around 5. I can barely wake her up to eat a little bit. I have no idea how some of these positions are comfortable but she was sleeping like a rock!








On the weekends we went to the park a lot because we discovered she got really fussy if we went somewhere that she would have to stay in the car seat for a long time. She loved the park and we got to go several weekends in a row. 




It only took 3 days of day care and she got her first cold. The congestion and cough lasted a full 6 weeks. I took her to the doctor to make sure it wasn't RSV or bronchitis and even kept her home one day to get some sleep. She took a 6 hour nap. That cold was not fun. I will say, if you have a little one go buy a Nose Frida, because those bulb things you get from the hospital are crap. The Nose Frida is the best $15 dollar investment I have ever made!

On the weekends I really enjoy our morning snuggles and fun in bed. 


 We spent a few weekends with the bottle hoping that would help her at daycare, but even though she took them no problem from Bobby she wouldn't eat more at daycare so we went back to nursing on the weekends only.

She had her first Halloween, and while Bobby wouldn't let me get her a costume we had a Halloween onsie that she wore. She also made her first piece of artwork at school!



At the end of the month she really started to prefer sitting rather than laying. She loves to look around. So we would put her in the Bumpo for a few minutes. She was still a little young for it, so it only lasted long enough for us to heat up some food or something like that.
