Look At Me!

Look at me! I have decided that I LOVE tummy time! No more tears when daddy puts me on my tummy. We have a great time practicing rolling over.

Emma and Mama

Emma, Mama, and Daddy share so many laughs together. She is a very happy baby and loves to blow bubbles, razz her lips, giggle, and "talk" to us. We are a happy family!

Little Pilgrim

Emma's excited to celebrate her 1st Thanksgiving. But we'll have to wait until next year to let her experience the good eats!

Pacifier Pals

Emma and Ruby took a snooze while their mommies and daddies visited last weekend. Mostly we talked about our sweet baby girls. Ruby is 7 weeks old here compared with Emma's 4 months and 1 week.

Rice Cereal

Emma's doctor recommended that we start giving her one spoonful of rice cereal daily and gradually work our way up to green vegetables in the coming weeks. Well, here's our gal grabbing the spoon to feed herself. Some days she detests the texture/taste, and other days she is willing to take a few nibbles.

Tea Anyone?

Daddy put together Emmy's "1-2-3 Tea for Me" exersaucer last week, and she was quite impressed with all of the gagets as you saw in her earlier video. It was so fun to watch her curiously manuver the add-ons. She has been exploring it a few times a day since this picture was taken on her trial run. She loves it a ton!

Swaddle Me

So, Emma's brilliant parents abandoned the swaddle wrap after she didn't seem to like it as a newborn. We thought she preferred to keep her hands tucked by her head. Well, advice from a fellow mom led us to try swaddling again . . . and . . . it appeared to be working. Emma slept for 9-12 hours consecutively on a few nights! The Kidopodamus swaddle wrap prevented her from stirring in the night and waking herself up. But it didn't always stop those middle-of-the-night feedings. As of late, she has returned to demanding a bottle every 5 hours. Here she is waking up around 7:30 A.M. with a good morning smile for mommy after a night of 11:00 P.M. and 4:00 A.M. feedings.

Four Months Old

Emma turned four months old last weekend. She is such a joy! It is our privilege to be her parents. Here are some photos of her from the last few weeks.

Emma's Exersaucer

Hip, hip, hooray for our 100th post on Fun With the Foleys! This is Emma's first time in her exersaucer. Notice we had to stuff a blanket between her and and the seat to give her a bit more stability. She can't get enough of it!

Upcoming Christening

Emma will be baptized on Thanksgiving weekend. Many family members are coming to town to be a part of her special day. Her grandparents have already made some preparations by picking out her gown and creating a baptismal cloth.

Lovin' Lola

Emma and Lola like to pal around. Maybe you'll be able to watch one of their conversations in a future post. Let's just say that Lola loves Emma a whole lot!

Finding Her Feet

Emma has discovered her feet and gets a huge "kick" out them! The song "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes" makes more sense to her now. You remember that one, don't you? Go on, sing it to yourself. It brings back memories for us all. It may be a few more months before she can do the movements for herself, but she is in training.

A New Friend

Emma is just 14 days older than her friend, Morgan. They met for the first time last month. The mommies and daddies had a great time comparing notes on feeding, sleeping, playing, etc.
