You are becoming much more wakeful, playful and all-around less fussy. Today we spent a lot of time outdoors, and you eventually fell asleep, enabling me to get lots of weeding done. I read today that in a couple months you’ll start responding to your name. You aren’t quite doing this, and I realized that we might be confusing you with the plethora of nicknames we use. We call you monkey, smosh, bam bam, monchhichi, and sweetpea. I like to say that your name is Emma Sophia Smosh Smosh Bam Bam Stephans. Regardless, we’ll work on calling you by your ‘real’ name more often, if you keep being our sweetpea, happy monkey, monchhichi, Emma Sophia Smosh Smosh Bam Bam Stephans.

All smiles outside
