New Face of Ember

Well, she has the same face, it's just older and rounder and full of more personality than before! A trip to Grandma Gerstenkorn's office showed us that at 9 weeks, Ember Dawn weighs a whopping 13 lb 4 oz, and is 23 3/4 inches long. That puts her in the 90th percentile for height and 85th for weight, and 55th percentile in height per weight. What a change from her big sisters! She is getting to be quite the ham these days, and gives us lots of smiles, coos, and even a few giggles here and there. We are enjoying these days (well, Avery is struggling some with the new addition to our household, but does enjoy her as well). Here are some new pictures I took this evening (finally got the batteries charged and back into the camera!). Enjoy!

I know, who knew a David/Sarah baby could be healthy and fluffy? I guess practice makes perfect?? :) Glad for lots of healthy babies this summer/fall!

Oh my goodness - I don't even recognize her! Definitely lots of changes - but what sweet ones! :) Jon and I are still cracking up at Avery's little dull sounding "yeah" any time we need to agree with each other about something - it rarely goes by without a repeat and a laugh on our end. We think of the kiddos often!
