I've been meaning to post for a while, and finally I decided that if I want to post, I had better just do it. Things have definitely been a whirlwind in our house since a certain event. But, things are still great. We've had to learn a lot, and I we know we've got a lot more to learn.


Things have started to follow a loose routine, and I, for one, am glad about that. It means I know that I'll be able to shower before noon because she will take a morning nap. :) It also means that I can finish house chores when she goes down. However, whenever I think we've got a good routine, and I have things figured out, Emilee decides she wants to change things. Life is change, right?


I'll make a list of things (in no particular order) that we've accomplished since I last posted:

Emilee can now sleep "through the night"

We made her first hand print
We've found a formula that suits her better

She can giggle
Emilee has excellent head control

We have a crib for her to sleep in
She says "goo" in response to Mom and Dad


She's grown out of newborn clothes (mostly)
Emilee can look at something and grab at it most of the time

Emilee can follow the eat, play, sleep routine

Emilee interacts by smiling at others (when she chooses to)

She can get the whole front of her shirt wet with drool
She tracks objects well (when she feels like it)

Emilee can help hold her bottle

She's had her first cold . . . and survived

And, (my favorite) she has a job other than making dirty diapers, she makes bubbles




We love our little girl!

Family

What a blessing it is to have families. They require a lot of sacrifice, but they are worth it.
