Emaline is 4 Weeks Old....

And is so cute and adorable. Andrew and I are just absolutely smitten by her.




Emaline decided that Uncle Michael had slept long enough!


Tummy time.


Emaline's four week old pictures and updates:
Just wanted to give you all a first look at Emaline's 4 week pictures. She is straight from the bath and all squeaky clean.

Some of Emmy's 4 week accomplishments:
Smiling
Picking her head up during tummy time and increased control of her head/neck...she's not such a bobble head anymore
Increased alertness during wake time
Following people/objects with her eyes
Laser rocket poop (Peyton's got nothing on her speed!! GO Colts!)
Grabbing anything, mainly my hair, necklace and her burp cloth
Sleeping 5 hours during the night

Her next scheduled doctor's appointment will be on Feb 22.





Some things that Andrew and I have been enjoying:
Tummy time with Emmy
Reading her Bible to her each night before bed
Holding/cuddling Emmy
Watching her hilarious facial expressions while she sleeps

Some things that Andrew and I have learned:

Sleep definitely helps keep things in perspective- Enjoy sleep when it comes.
Patience
Be flexible

We've taken Emaline out and about town a few times. She does great. I am usually done before she is. My recovery has been going well, I just get tired if I stand/walk too long.
Things have been going well. Emmy is a champ at sleeping, she eats usually every 3 hours (some days she needs to eat every 2 hours), she is still pooping and peeing.

We love her dearly!!!

I'm so glad you're loving the diaper pail :) And I'm very intersted in your reviews of cloth diapers. Keep 'em coming (and the cute pictures of Emaline)!
