12 Weeks Old

My beautiful baby girl is really growing up :) She smiles all of the time, and is still working on that big first giggle. This week Emily discovered her toes! She can't quite grab them, but she stares at them and wiggles them around. Her toes keep her quite occupied :) I booked my travel to California in April. Emily and I will be traveling together. Eric won't be able to make it :( I'm looking forward to visiting with everyone and having Emily get to see all of her family again! Here are some of the newest pictures of our little Angel!

Can't wait to show the girls these pictures when they're grown up

Emily stole Abby's Bouncer, lol
Eric says Emily looks like one of those baby toys where you stack the rings around the pole

NOOB!! (this is in honor of daddy who likes to play video games. Apparently they call the new guys "noobs")

I may be biased but...

I think I have the cutest baby ever, lol.

Tutus

I found a website with directions to make your own tutus (http://www.gophotography.com/tutu/). It looked really easy, so I figured I'd head out to Joanne's Fabrics and get the stuff to make one for Emily. It was super easy, and turned out really really cute. I have enough tulle to make a couple more. Here are some pictures of Emily in her homemade tutu :)

11 Weeks old and a visit to the Pediatrician

Today Emily had her 2 month check up. She now weighs in at a whoping 9lbs 13oz and is 21.25 inches long. She's in the 20th percentile for weight and the 5th percentile for height. It looks like she really is going to be petite like her aunt Lori :) Emily is 100% healthy. The Pediatrician said she's right on track with her growth, she's eating the right amount, and we're lucky that we have a baby that sleeps through the night :) We already knew about that last one!!! Emily got 3 shots today. She did well. Cried for a couple minues afterward, but then was ok. When we got her home Emily and I were going to take a nap together. I had worked all of last night, got home at 6:30am, slept for an hour, and then got up for her appointment. I was beat. I fed Emily a bottle, and she went right to sleep. At 2pm she woke up screaming. It was heart breaking. I couldn't console her. We fed her a bottle, but that didn't stop it. It wasn't any of her usual cries, so I knew it was pain. I ran out and got some Infant Tylenol, which has really seemed to help!!! She's kicking back on the couch with mommy now and is happy as ever. We're so blessed to have a beautiful, healthy and happy baby girl. Life is good :)

10 Weeks Old

Little Emily is 10 weeks old. She's doing great, and is growing so fast. Her pediatrician appointment is on Tuesday and we'll find out just how much she weighs and how long she is now. On the home scale (who knows exactly how accurate it is) she's just over 11 lbs! She eats 4oz of formula about every 4 hours, but occasionally takes a 5 oz bottle before she goes to bed. She sleeps through the night without any problems. She smiles all of the time, and has just started laughing, I think. It's not quite a giggle yet, but it's getting there. She brings us so much joy every day. I love waking up in the morning and seeing her happy little face!!!

Here are some of the newest pictures of Emily, and a video of me making silly noises trying to make her laugh.










To close, mommy, too close!!!
