Emma

Emma:
- has 4 new molars. All came in within 4 days of each other.
-is walking all over the place.
-opens her mouth really wide so you can see her teeth, then giggles :)
-is making kissing sounds.
-started blowing kisses tonight.
-can say what almost sounds like her name, my mom thought one of the other kids was saying it on the phone today, but it was Emma.
-slept through the night last night! From 9:30pm to 8:30am!!! Oh how refreshed I felt this morning!
-started sleeping in her crib in the room with Abby 3 nights ago, I hate her being that far away, but she was waking up every 2 hours and it was really affecting me. But with the monitor, I hear every sound she makes, and Abby brought her in the first night at 4 am, so I know that if I don't get her immediately, Abby will ;)
-is trying to decide if she needs 1 or 2 naps a day.
-loves her big sister.
-gets really annoyed when Eli gets in her face.
-laughs at all the funny things Reagan does for her.

A TOOTH!

Everyone has been telling me that they think Emma is teething because of all her chewing/drooling. I haven't thought so because all of my kids tend to teeth late, like not getting a first tooth until 10-11 months.

Not Emma.

She was just gnawing on my finger when I felt a sharp little bit in her mouth. Poking through her bottom gum is a sharp little tooth! It has broken through all the way across, and not a single fuss from her. No crying, temperature, no biting me when nursing, no symptoms at all!

YAY Emma!!!!

Things have been crazy around here, I haven't had much computer time since Emma was born, and what little time I have had has been spent just keeping up with e-mail and financial/budget stuff.

Emma was 6 weeks old yesterday, time is flying by. Last week she weighed 7 lb 15 oz. She is nursing great on one side, won't on the other side, but my body is doing a really good job at keeping up with her, I am even able to pump once a day, so I have a little freezer stash. But she won't take a bottle or a binkie, but we are working on it. We are using cloth diapers about 50% of the time, I am needing more diapers, they are so cute! She is sleeping 6-7 hours straight at night, I just need to go to bed when she does. Emma has started smiling, not consistently yet, but they are so adorable when she blesses us with one.

Here are a few pics:

She often sleeps with her eyes half opened.

She loves her bath!

Not liking diaper being wet or dirty!

Napping with Daddy.
