Ember went to see Dr Katie this week for her 6 month appointment – a little late, but with Dr Katie having been out of the office on maternity leave and us off to the beach, that’s how it worked out.  The big news is that Ember is 15lbs and 14oz and 26.25 inches long.… Read More 6 Month Check-up

Kevin and I packed up Ember and headed to the beach at Hilton Head last week and she had a blast.  Although it was cold, she was able to have big adventures with walks on the beach in our backpack and playing in the ocean.  She even tried out the swimming pool for the first… Read More Hilton Head – Baby’s First Beach Trip

I can’t believe Ember is six months old today! She is getting to be so big and SO much fun! We had a blast tonight taking her 6 month photo – she’s far more wiggly than she used to be and has recently found her feet. And far more interested in her owl than before… Read More 1/2 a Whole Year

Life has been a little crazy recently – my dad passed away on the 20th. We were so glad he got to spend time with Ember before he left. He always used to tell me that being a father was the best thing he ever did and he hoped I would get to know the… Read More A Busy Few Weeks

It’s been a crazy week for Ember’s 5 month birthday. She was sick last week and then on Sunday got so congested that we got really worried about her breathing and took her to the ER.

Kiddo had a big week. She started it off last Sunday with a birthday celebration for her Bapu. They are bug buddies for sure – and she and Mimi are tight. Later in the week, after a full class at daycare for the first time, with seven new baby friends to play with, kiddo ran… Read More A Little Bit Sick

Things are going well in Ember’s little world. Daycare has been turned upside down as her new classmates have come to join her – she’s gone from being the only baby in a room of toddlers to one of 8 babies. She’s doing well, though. I went by to have lunch with her the other… Read More Another Week

Today we took Ember to her 4 month check-up and BOY has she grown. At her 2 month, she was 21.5″ long – today she is 23.75″ – I wish I could grow an inch a month! She was 9lbs 13.5oz two months ago and today she is 12lbs 13.5oz. She’s in the high 20th… Read More 4 Month Check-up

Ember is 4 months old today! She has discovered her hands and spends most of her time making the loudest noises I’ve ever heard sucking on her tiny hands. She’s a big fan of bath time too. She’s working on Tummy Time at daycare and at home on the weekends and is rolling over to… Read More 4 Months
