Mommy's little elf

Playing on her playmat, she doesn't stay too long on it but I think she will when she gets a little bigger.

Little elf

For Meagan

We lost a dear friend today. We will miss you Meagan and your great sense of humor. Our little girls will still grow up knowing each other and learning all about this smart and beautiful woman.

All Smiles

This past week she has been smiling a lot, pretty much everytime you talk to her. That has been a great reward for staying at home with her. There is one picture of her sleeping and I thought it was funny b/c she does sleep with her legs curled up.

Wonder Pets

Who knew a 3 week old would watch a TV show. I showed her this show called the Wonder Pets on Nick Jr. She will sit there for 30 minutes watching this show. It has a catchy little song....
" the phone, the phone is ringing, can you hear it? ....there's an animal in trouble...there''s an animal in trouble....this is serious!!" it goes on but I won't :)

Happy Thanksgiving

My Best Friend

In the past few days Emma has become much more aware of things around her and will interact with them. This little toy plays music and she just lays there staring at it. She is in her bouncer now and she can touch it and she keeps reaching out to it and staring at it.

We don't use the pacifier much but when we do she automatically holds it in all by herself. She usually takes it for a few minutes then she is asleep and done with it.

3 weeks old

Emma is three weeks today and she is definitely taking more notice in the things around her. Today we went for a walk and I hung a little toy on the stroller. She stared at it for a whole minute. In reality that may not sound like a lot but in baby world that is like 2 hours!

I also took a video of her sleeping b/c she makes these humming sounds. I'm not sure if you can hear it on the video but we will see.

Mawmaw Ann has left town

After being here 3 weeks (1 week before Emma was born and 2 with her here) my mom has gone back to La. She was a huge help and I know I wouldn't have been able to do this with the extra help. She was able to teach me and Josh some tips that helped us know what to do and gave us some rest time.

We took these two pics today just to show that all is well with just Josh and myself in charge (although she has given us a few roadbumps). Josh got about 2 oz. of milk spit up on him and we had a little crying fit when she was sleepy but wouldn't go to sleep.
