We need your help, readers.
We’ve been looking and looking and looking, but we still can’t find it.
Do you know where the time has gone?!?
We ask because it seems like just yesterday that we were refreshing our Internet browsers on a constant basis, waiting to learn whether Audrey Roloff had given birth.
She ended up being over a week late in early September, but this simply proved the classic adage about waiting and the best things and how those two things are related
… because Ember Jean then entered the world as an absolutely cutie patootie.
Incredibly, that was four months ago.
In celebration of her child turning one-third of one year old, Audrey Roloff has shared a new photo and provided fans with a fascinating update about Ember.
First, the photo:
Now, the update:
“Our baby girlsie is 4 months old today,” wrote Audrey to open her caption, adding:
“This stage is increasingly precious and full of wonder and joyous anticipation. I’ve fallen so in love with this little light of mine.”
As for “highlights from the past month?” Roloff dished on the following:
– Laughing and giggling.
– Sitting up in her baby chair.
– Taking a road trio to Bend, Oregon to see old friends and church family members.
– Sleeping 7 hours at night.
– Telling lots of stories.
– Putting all the things in her mouth.
– Growing most of her 3-6 month clothes.
Roloff went on to acknowledge her struggle with postpartum depression and breastfeeding, writing:
“With the rough beginning we had, I never thought I’d have a chunky baby. But look at those high-percentile rolls!
“She loves her knee-socks, bath time, cuddling with mom and dad, SMILING (at literally anyone who gives her an ounce of attention), pulling hair, and sleeping in the car.
“I’m in love I’m in love and I don’t care who knows it!”
Can anyone blame her?
Motherhood really is a miracle.
Audrey has been very open about this first-time experience, even documenting how a case of mom guilt nearly ruined Christmas.
Thankfully, in the end, she and Jeremy and Ember enjoyed a very special holiday.
For reference sake, here’s a look back at past photos the couple has shared of their child at various milestones.
For example: Ember at 3 months..
And Ember at 2 months…
And, of course, newborn Ember…
She’s come a very long way, hasn’t she?
In a way, we’ve all come a long way, watching Jeremy and Audrey navigate the challenge of parenthood on social media.
We’ll see them do it on television when Little People, Big World finally returns with new episodes, which we expect to happen in March or some time later this spring.
These new episodes will center on Audrey’s pregnancy and eventual birth, the same way last season focused on Tori Roloff and how she also became a new mother in 2017.
What a year for this beloved family, huh?!?
We very much appreciate how candid both women have been over the past few months, letting us into their interesting/precious/unique/adorable universes via photos and videos.

We can’t wait to see what five months brings.
