6 weeks and counting...

These weeks are flying by. Emery looks nothing like a newborn anymore and is now an infant. She's so smiley and happy and fun to snuggle. She's working so very hard at controlling her neck, but once in a while still flops around. Her hair has turned from brown, to a medium blonde but her eyes have stayed the same Navy Blue they were when she was born. She loves morning time, and has established a pretty good schedule. She pooped in the bathtub the other night for the first time. That was fantastic. :) We were almost done too. I had to run her from her bathtub to the kitchen sink to start all over... then of course bleach out the sink, her tub and the big bathtub. Awesome!
I had my first glass of wine in almost a year! I had only half of a half a glass & felt a little funny. lol I'm also very happy to say, I am now able to get in the hot tub again. Man, I missed that!
Abby is coming around a little more, but still very jealous of this new addition. If I have the baby and Abby needs to go outside, she still comes to me, even if Chris is obviously not doing anything. We think its cute, but I'm still hoping that she will get more comfy w/ having a sister.



In other news, Chris and Jared had the opportunity to play hockey at the Coliseum after the WinterHawks. It was very exciting to see their teams play in such a large arena. I know Christopher was in heaven.
Chris is about to turn 31!!! I can't believe it. :) We're taking a family trip up to Vancouver BC on the 3rd for a hockey tournament and to celebrate his bday. I'm so excited to take E on a lil vacation. Jared and Savannah are obviously coming as well, so it will be a great time. I'm sure pictures to follow! :)

Well anyway, this is our news. Hope your happy and healthy!

One month old already...

Yesterday E was one month old. By far the fastest month of our lives. She is growing so quickly and changing every day. She smiled at me this morning after a long staring contest and lots of talking. She's always smiling, but never at anything in particular. This morning was real.. she smiled as if to say "mommy, you can stop w/ the dorky talk now."
She had a mini photo shoot yesterday to celebrate her 4 weeks. Her tights were a little big.. Chris said they looked like old lady nylons that hang off their legs. (We both used to sell shoes for a living.. this is a real visual for us.)

So far, she LOVES taking baths w/ mommy. She loves napping w/ daddy. And Abby still hasn't accepted that she's here to stay. Emery is growing like a weed, officially out of all her preemie clothes and even one Newborn. She still has all her lil baby acne, and I do my very best not to pick at it.
She's a very good baby, and yes we're still in heaven. This is the best time of our life and it just gets better.
