Emma getting tastes

Well, we have started introducing Emma to more solids. Stacy has been making her some apples, sweet potatoes, oatmeal and rice cereal. She didn't like the apples at first and hates the sweet potatoes. However, after a couple of bites, apples mixed with Gerber oatmeal hits the spot as you can tell by the pic. Yummy!

Emma almost 6 months

Emma is doing well and will be six months old this Friday. She has enjoyed the cooler weather as her favorite thing to do is sit outside. She is using her hands alot, so if you hold her...watch your hair!
She has become increasingly happy and a ton of fun to play with. We got her out to the pumpkin patch this past week. She also enjoys eating rice cereal and every now and then she will be still for 2 seconds so you can snap a picture.

Emma is doing well. Growing and growing. Here is a pic her first time on the boat from Labor Day. as long as she stays cool and out of the sun...she's fine. We are looking forward to cooler weather when we can get out more.

Emma 16 weeks and laughing

Well Emma will be 16 weeks tomorrow and she is growing like a weed still. Stacy has been taking her to Gymboree classes and she can hold herself up pretty well. She recently discovered Daisy and we have heard her begin to laugh and chuckle over the past couple of weeks. Here is a short video of some of those moments. I'm not sure who laughed harder, Emma or us!

Babbling constantly

Emma turns 3 months old on thursday and I've been lazy and haven't posted anything in a while. Don't let that fool you that she has been quiet. She is really starting to discover her voice and babbling all the time. She has settled down a little from her unhappy colicky stage, but is still extremely active. I'll try to put up another video soon. She has been exercising her neck with some tummy time and can hold her self up while sitting up. And she will still let you know if she is not getting something she wants!!

Emma turns ten weeks old tomorrow and she is growing like a weed still. She enjoyed the fireworks on the fourth of July by oohing and awing and chuckling as they popped in the sky. She spent all day Saturday with her Aunt Jenn and her grandma and grandpa visited for the fourth. So she had a good holiday being spoiled. Of course, mom had to put a bow on her head to snap a picture of her in her holiday outfit.
She also got her two months shots last tuesday and that wasn't any fun, so a good weekend of spoiling was just the thing she needed!

Emma @ 8 weeks

Well, we hit eight weeks old today. Emma is starting to discover things...mainly figuring out how to get what she wants out of mom and dad. Here is a compilation of a little footage we shot last night.

Emma 7 weeks

Well, she's a whole 7 weeks old and growing like a weed. We hope she has passed the height of her colicky status. She is still very active and fights her sleep reguraley, but is holder her head and upper body up steadily. She tries to stand up if you giver her the chance. Other than that, just chubby and happy...as long as you are giving her what she wants!

Emma 5 1/2 weeks old!

Emma turns 6 weeks old this Thursday. She is now holding her head up with more ease and is able to keep it real steady. She hates to sleep and fights it at all costs. She will stay awake all day and still wakes up frequently at night. I guess she feels she might miss something with her eyes closed! So, since she is awake all of the time, we will put things on her and take pics like this one.

She doesn't mind her baths that much, but her favorite part is when it is over and she can be snuggled in a warm towel!

Here is a little footage of Emma at 1 month old.

Emma's First Week

Well, Emma is now eleven days old and doing great. Her head is strong and her will is even stronger! She is lifting her head around and checking out everything that she can. We had her first photo shoot this past friday and will post pictures of that soon. Other than that, everyone is doing well.
She slept in four hour increments the past two nights between feedings, so mom is doing much better!
