Randoms...

It's hard to believe Emma is 7 weeks old! Now I know why everyone was telling us to treasure every moment because time goes so fast. Andy has been home for a few days this week, doing the Mr. Mom thing. It's been great! I came home today to the smell of cookies baking in the oven. Impressive! Just wanted to show off some more photos...

Back to the Real World

I went back to work last week. It wasn't easy but having my mom here made it easier to leave every morning. Emma had a great time with Grandma Sherry. They sang and danced. They took lots of walks. According to my mom, they had a lot of good "talks" too. Not only did Grandma watch Emma all week, but she even managed to paint two of our bathrooms! Our goal for this week--take more pictures!!

One Month Old!

This past Sunday marked Emma's one-month birthday! Time sure has gone by quickly. It's fun to watch her each day and see what changes/developments are happening. She's really trying to hold her head up by herself. Her hands and feet are constantly moving. Her beautiful eyes tune in to something and she is just mesmerized. She is also smiling more, which is fun to watch.

I took her to her one-month check-up yesterday and all is well. In the past 2 weeks she has gained 1 pound and grew 1/4 inch. The doctor is really happy with how she looks and how things are progressing.

Time with Family

We've had a lot of family time recently. My dad was in town for a week and my sister is visiting right now. It's great to have extra hands around to help out with Emma or things around the house.

My dad shoveled every morning that he was here!

We're lovin' the BOB.

She just got out of the bath...


Sporting her "flipper slippers" (and, also, one of her many pairs of (newborn) pants that are still too big for her)

Where's the "Spring" in our Spring Break?

So the district is on spring break this week but we have not been experiencing many spring-like conditions. It's finally a sunny, bluebird day today but, in the last 3 days or so, we've gotten over 2 feet of snow at our house.

Sweet Pea

Our good friend, Chris, sent Emma this adorable "sweet pea" outfit. It's still a tad too big but that doesn't stop her from looking adorable in it...



Sorry, but iPhoto wasn't letting me rotate the photo so you'll have to crank your neck a bit.
