Molly Claire's 4 month Check up

Molly Claire is 13 1/2 pounds and 23 inches long. She is in the 50th percentile for weight and height. Emma was always in the 75th percentile until she turned one, so Molly Claire is much smaller even though she started out so much bigger. Molly Claire has a blocked tear duct so we just have to wait until 9 months to see if it unblocks itself. Otherwise, the ophthalmologist will unblock it for her. She did a great job smiling at Dr. Campbell and even rolling over for him. She was happy until the nurse came in with 4 shots. I think it's harder on me sometimes! Molly Claire did very well though.

Molly Claire's First Feeding

Molly Claire enjoyed her first feeding of cereal. She gobbled it up and we had to make more.

Molly Claire Rolls Over!

Molly Claire rolled over today for the first time! We were over our friend, Rachel's house and all of a sudden I looked down and there she went! Now she rolls over every day and loves the new views from her back.

Valentine's Day!

Molly Claire and I went to Emma's preschool today. They were decorating cookies and opening up their valentine cards. Emma was so excited to go to school! She wrote all of her own valentines and even made the treat bags for her friends. You can see Emma leading the class in calendar time and a song. She's becoming quite the "ham"!

Emma's Conference

Today we had a conference with Mrs. Callahan, Emma's preschool teacher. She is so impressed with Emma's knowledge, focus and blossoming personality! We thought she was pretty smart and able to learn things quickly, but it was solidified by her teacher's comments!

*Only one of two that can recognize all of the upper and lower case letters

*One of a couple that can write her name neatly

*Only one of two that can draw all shapes

*Great attention to detail, stays on task and listens well

*She can count the highest in the class, up to 29 and also make a group of the same amount

We are so proud of Emma's progress! Mrs. Callahan is a remarkable teacher who Emma loves dearly. Emma actually leads the class in songs, the pledge of allegiance and calendar time. This is the same little girl who barely spoke in class last year. Both of her teachers say they wouldn't be surprised if they see Emma on 'American Idol' one day. She shines during music and is one of the loudest singers in the class, always knowing the words. It's so hard to believe she'll start Kindergarten next year!
