Happy St. Patrick's Day

The weather has been beautiful the past couple of days here in Colorado. And, of course we have a winter storm watch with a possible 5-10 inches of snow on Friday, lol. Yesterday Eric and I took Emily and Champ out on a walk. We went 3 miles. I was tired, but it felt so good to be outside!!!!

Emily is doing great. I can't believe she's 15 weeks old now!!! I love seeing her pick up new skills each week. She's so interactive, and smiles all of the time. She's really finding her voice, and will have an entire "conversation" with you on the couch! Her facial expressions are hilarious!

Mema and Papa came to visit last week and we had a great time with them. It was so much fun playing pinochle again. Here are some pictures from the last couple of weeks :)

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!

Abby and Emily (Liz and Cy's daughter Abby is 7 months old now! )
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

Yeah...I know I'm cute

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.

Silly BabyGlamour baby
Ready for her trip to Sunny California in April!

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 :)
