Emma's New Wheels

With our REI dividends arriving last week (along with a coupon for 20% off), it was time to purchase Emma's stroller--the BOB Revolution. This stroller is amazing! We took it for a test drive today...

One Protective "Puppy"

Cooper didn't know quite what to think of Emma when he first saw her. Now, things have really turned a 180 and he is very protective of her. Sometimes, when we're holding her, he follows us around the house. When she cries (when we're changing her diaper) he will come into her room and just sit and watch. He lays by her when she is in her bouncy chair. It's pretty adorable.

Bath Time

Well, I can't say it's the most fun Emma has ever had. In fact, I don't think she liked anything about getting a bath, except maybe cuddling up in the towel when it was all over.

Life at Home

We have enjoyed every minute with little Emma since arriving home from the hospital last Saturday. She is 1 week old today! Andy went back to work on Wednesday so it's just been Emma and me. A majority of our time is spent feeding, changing diapers and sleeping.


Emma has had some tummy time, although she wasn't a huge fan of it.



On Tuesday, we went on our first outing to the pediatrician's office. Emma had lost 1 pound at the hospital (putting her at 6 lbs. 2 oz.) but now weighs 6 lbs. 11 oz. The sweater she is wearing is pretty special. It was Andy's sweater when he was a baby and it was made by Emma's great-great grandma, Fontella, who is no longer with us.



Thanks for the cute bear suit, Natalie!



We got the okay to take Emma out in the Baby Bjorn so we didn't wait long to grab that opportunity. Cooper was very protective on our walk. He would stay right next to Andy's side (with Emma in the Baby Bjorn).

Meet Emma Millicent Tullis!!

Emma Tullis entered the world on March 11, 2010 at 5:02 p.m. She weighed in at 7 pounds, 2 ounces and was 20 inches long. She's beautiful!!! Andy and I can't stop admiring her. She has a head full of strawberry blonde hair, big, beautiful eyes and really long fingers and toes. Enjoy the photos! There will be many, many more...

Update

With our weekly doctor visits, we're getting a better idea of when we could expect our little one to enter the world. At our appointment yesterday, we found out that I am 1 cm dilated. We know that doesn't mean too much but, at least, it's a start. I go back to the doctor on Monday and we'll see what happens from there... Everything will all be happening so soon!! With the recent move into our new home, the nursery was our first priority. Everything is set up and ready to go. Now we just need to wait for Grandma Sherry to come to do some painting. The orange/peach walls are just not our style. :)
