Emily has grown so much- last weekend on Aug 19th she turned 4 months old! She's not yet rolling over but can roll onto her side. She makes a ton of noise- lots of cooing and when she's angry she can scream- but that doesn't happen very often:) She weighs 13lbs 6ozs and is in the 50th percentile (she's average for her size and weight). She can now reach out and grasp objects, like toys, Scott's glasses, my face and hair when we're playing on the floor, and she sucks on everything and anything now- especially receiving blankets...which I think is super cute and Scott makes fun of me for saying when she does that "Oh! She looks like a REAL baby!"...but she does!! Anyways, seriously, isn't she so cute? She's adorable, and really good, too-
On our vacation she was sleeping 7-8 hours between feedings at night and NOW (I'm delighted to tell you) she has been sleeping for 12 hours stright the last 3 nights!! Yeah!!!! (We had a couple of rough nights first, but then she got right into the swing of sleeping thru the night! Yeah!) Now we're working on nap times...she's a serious cat-napper, though, or HAS been and has now just started having 30min-1hr naps in the days...which means mommy gets to nap, too:)
One of the first days we were in NS we had a BBQ with some of our friends and their kids from Lake Echo Church (where Scott's dad is pastor)- which was so nice. I got some great shots of our friend's kids, too- they're all so cute!
So here's some pics to start you off- they'll be more to come...this post will probably happen in 3 installments to get all the pics on here, enjoy! These next 5 pics are beautiful photos that Papa Kohler took:

Glad you had such a good vacation! Great pics...Emily is as cute as ever!
Wow..12 hours straight..that's unreal! Enjoy it!
Sorry Dee, she looks like Scott. :)
Great pictures Dee -yes, I do think Emily looks like you. She has your gorgeous eyes! :0) I can't believe how big she is getting -it was so good to see you guys at convention!
Love ya!
Dee — she has your eyes!
(you know, if you wanted more people to say she looks like you — you could die her hair platinum blond) jk.
K.
Yes, the eyes have it, or she has yours, Dee. :)
She's such a cutie; I love her little cowlick--and the hairclip! SO CUTE.
Sorry, Dee, I think she looks like her Daddy. But, she does have brown hair, like you:)
I LOVE the picture of you and her looking at eachother. Too precious!
What a cutie you have!
The hands folded are just too cute! thanks for sharing your photos. We really like seeing how she is growing...I do miss the baby stage but not quite enough to have another one of my own just yet!! Keep us posted on how she is doing and how you and Scott are doing as well. We love to hear from you.
I too had everyone telling me that Jena looked liked her Daddy - however - now it is switching and more people are saying that she looks like me... so - to Dee there is hope and I think you will see more and more of you in her as she grows up! She is beautiful and she looks like both of you!
I think that she has your eyes and mouth and Scott's colouring. She is her own little person and will be gorgeous no matter what!!
( I am biased!!)
XXXXXXXMum (Nana)
I think she has your eyes, Dee, as I had said when we got together. I miss you already and hope to talk to you soon.
