I have to say that from two to three months, there has been quite some growth and development!  First off, Emi has grown quite a bit, especially since her last doctor appointment.  She is just shy of 13 pounds, is now 2.5 inches taller, and the measurement of her head is now in the 50th percentile.  I cannot believe that she is now double her weight since that very first day I held her.

Besides her physical changes, Emi is officially a talker.  It started off with coos and grew into more babbling.  Today, I think I held a 20+ minute conversation with the girl!  I think she has more things to say than me and that is not only surprising, but a whole lot of conversation!  It is really cute, though, and I find it entertaining.  She is so talkative and loud that I can hear Taro and Emi talking in the bedroom from the laundry room!  She definitely keeps her daddy busy.

Emi is a wiggly little one now and I can see the beginning attempts of trying to roll over.  She can get on her side and bend her knees.  I’m guessing with a little more practice, she is going to be turning over soon.  In addition to her movement, she has a strong hold with eye contact and whenever she sees someone familiar, Emi gives a smile.  I have to say I am lucky because I usually get the most smiles out of her and they are becoming bigger and a laugh usually accompanies it.  She is definitely a momma’s girl and will now only be held by me at night and be put down for bed by me only.  I have to admit, I absolutely love it and cherish these moments.  I hope she will go back to Taro, though, because I know night time, especially on weekdays, is the only time they have to bond and hang out.

I don’t exactly know what is in store for the next month, but I do know that I am going to enjoy every moment of it, especially since I go back to work at the end of January.  For now, I am going to hold Emi tight, have 5 minute, 20 minute, hour long conversations, smile, laugh, and giggle, and enjoy the 8 hours that she is sleeping at night!  (You were so right about it getting easier at 3 months, Lizet!)
