8 weeks


Yes, I made her hairbow!

It is hard to believe that Emma is 8 weeks old! She is smiling more, knocking at her toys (still doesn't like to hold on to them) lifting her head more and still hates tummy time. She follows people as they walk by and turns her head when she hears voices.

I remember every Christmas my mom would buy me a dress to wear to Church. Here is Emma in her Christmas dress, I guess I am a creature of habit and want to continue the tradition. I love smocked dresses and Justin's mom bought this one for Emma. It has Mr and Mrs Claus on the top.
I was scared she was going to out grow it even though it is sized 3 months. She is almost out of 3 mo. clothes and she isn't 2 months yet!



Same dress 32 years apart

Here we have me and Em in my dress from 1978! It is pretty cool that mom saved the dress and Emma was able to wear it for a picture!

Emma is now six weeks old!
She is more alert, following the face and voice of the person talking to her.
She can smile and is good at copying a smile that is given to her.
She can almost laugh!
She is kicking and moving her arms a lot more.
She had her first set of shots :(
She weighs 11 lbs. 6oz. and is 23 inches long!

WHAT A BIG GIRL!

We are family


Here is my family. Something I wanted for so long and God has been so good to provide me with a caring husband (who is an outstanding father) and a sweet, precious little girl.

Sweet like candy

How could you not fall in love with this face!

Her favorite place to be is on her daddy's chest so she can life up her head and check out all that is going on around her!

Here is the most recent picture of Emma. She is 5 weeks old here (11.14.2010) She has lost some of her hair and has been dealing with baby acne for the past week. It looks awful but it doesn't seem to bother her.

At this point she sleeps A LOT! She has also started to smile and will give us a big mouth open smile when we talk baby talk to her. She is also tracking with her eyes and loves to watch when someone is talking to her.
