Mother's Day!



I experienced my very first Mother's Day this last Sunday as a mom. It's so neat to be a mom. Emma has brought such joy and fulfillment to my life. We have so much fun playing and sleeping all day...and getting a little work done. Emma is our pride and joy and so cute. Here's a couple pics of me and my finest achievement!

Best Friends!

Olivia and Emma! My friend Emily from Alaska lives across the street from our complex (who knew?) and we've enjoyed comparing our little girls. Funny thing is though that Olivia is 3 months old and Emma was only 2 months old at the time of this picture. They look exactly the same size now but Olivia has doubled her birth weight while Emma has gained only 3 pounds!

Too Cute!

Emma has always done funny things with her hands but this was one was too cute. I think she's tired of yucky formula and wants some steak and potatoes or....candy!


This is my little Arabian! Mom and Emma were just having a little fun during our busy days!
My talented little girl is very possessive of her bottles and insists on helping to hold it. Too bad she hasn't developed the hand-eye coordination to get it in her mouth!

Emma's Room

At about 5 weeks old we moved Emma into her own room. We all sleep much better now especially Emma who has since slept from 8pm to 6am each night. I had previously been using the room as my own scrapbooking room with a little of Emma's things. Now Emma is kind enough to let mom have one corner and one desk for her things.

2 months old and 2 feet tall!

Emma is now 2 months old and 2 feet tall! She weighs 13.2 pounds and is in the 96th percentiles for height and weight! She is growing like a weed. She loves her fingers and plays with them all the time. She has also started using her tongue to feel textures.

Dad's Secret Touch!!




Emma loves her daddy! She loves watching TV with him or watching him play playstation but she especially loves when he bounces her to sleep on his lap. As you can see, she is zonked out!

Microwave Fun

Emma's new favorite toy is the bottom of the microwave. I thought this little video clip was really cute. She seems to have a lot to say about it.
