Botanica

We took advantage of the cooler temperatures this morning with a trip to Botanica in Wichita.

Four Months

Emma is four months old today and as sweet as ever!

She is such a little ray of sunshine with her bright-eyed, big-mouthed smiles. She brings so much joy to our family!

Her new tricks this month included rolling from back to tummy and laughing, but she doesn't do either one consistently yet. She is starting to be scared of strangers too, or at least she was a few days ago when I took her to a friend's baby shower. She cried and cried two different times when she didn't know the people holding her and I wasn't in sight. She smiled and stopped crying right when I took her back each time. She's a mama's girl, which is so sweet, but it's hard to see her so scared.

She still seems so small to me. She's my little doll. We haven't been to the doctor yet for her official weight, but according to our scale she is just shy of 14 pounds.

She really loves Natalie and Max and all their antics. Here she is smiling at Max:

What a blessed four months these have been!

Emma Swims

Emma went for her first swim last weekend while we were in Yates Center. She didn't love it, but she sure looked cute.

Truck Show

The kids loved climbing on and in all kinds of city trucks this morning at the library.

Siblings

Emma loves to watch Max and Natalie's antics. Her very first giggles came from watching them run around. She can't wait to be right in the middle of all the sibling fun.

Teeter Totter

Natalie and Max are perfectly matched for the teeter totter because for years they have weighed within a couple pounds of each other. Today they tried out the big teeter totter at the park, and they giggled the whole time.

Sweet Summer
