6 month update

Below are a few milestones emily reached this month:
- sat up by herself for a short period
- waves back to you
- tried more solid foods - pears, avocados, green beans, plums, peaches, carrots. She's definitely not a big fan of vegetables. We'll have to figure out a way to sneak some veggies in there somehow!
- started feeling separation anxiety when we leave the room
- said 'da da' for the first time

5 month update

4 month update

Here are a few new milestones and interesting things Emily learned this month:
- she rolled over from front to back for the first time!
- She learned how to hold something in her hand and is slowly learning how to put things in her mouth
- She holds her head up all on her own now with no support and can sit up with support.
- She can mock the sound of your voice and repeat it back to you

She also started teething this month, which should be an interesting adventure...

3 Month update

Emily is growing up so fast! This month was a busy month. She started daycare for the first time. It took a little while to get adjusted, but she's slowly getting used to it. She just loves her teachers and socializing with the other little kids. Her class is just about all girls. I guess we hit the girl wave this year!

She also laughed for the first time and now squeals when she's excited. She learned how to stick her tongue out at mommy when mommy sticks her tongue out at her. She's starting to grab onto things a lot more now too. She loves to pull her shirt or dress over her head! She is still smiling and talking now more than ever. She can hold her head up on her own for a little bit and gives out. It's amazing how fast she's learning. I can't wait to see what next month brings!

2 month update

This month Emily began being much more alert and aware of her surroundings. She is such a happy baby and smiles all the time. It seems like she is trying to talk to you now. It's so cute. She can now hold her head up at a 45 degree angle all by herself. She's in the 73rd percentile for height, which is awesome. She's just about to outgrow her bassinet due to her height. She's still wearing 0-3 month clothes, but will soon be moving to 3-6 months since she's so tall! Mommy starts back to work next week so Emily will be starting with the nanny on Monday. We are so nervous about having someone else watching her. She slept in her crib for the first time last month

She's here!!

Emily Rose Nye entered the world on January 12, 2012 @ 6:02 PM, weighing 5 lbs 12 oz. We ended up doing a C-Section, which was very scary at first, but was all worth it in the end! It was such an emotional moment for mommy and daddy as we finally got to meet our sweet baby girl.

Welcome to Emily's first blog!!

Welcome to our blog! We thought this would be a great way to share all the great memories and milestones for Emily each year with family and friends. It's a litle bare right now, but expect to see plenty more pictures, videos, and updates to come! We are just so blessed to have this sweet little girl and cannot wait to meet her! Emily is the first of many great grandchildren on Mom's side of the family.
