FINALLY!!!

After 5 weeks and 1 day, Emerson's cord FINALLY fell off! The next night she got to take a real bath in her tub. She was too cute-she absolutely loved it! She had gotten kind of fussy about 20 minutes before bath time so I was a little worried that the first bath could be a disaster but as soon as I sat her down in the tub she was completely calm! She didn't start fussing again until about 5 minutes after I got her out-we'll definitely be taking longer baths!

She completely zoned out and just relaxed the whole time!

She has always liked to have her hair washed but it was even better when combined with a bath!

This is the life!

Look at that belly!

It is hard to believe that our little one is already a month old!!!! She went for her checkup this past week and has grown to 10 pounds and 22 1/2 inches! She had to get her first shot which I am pretty sure was harder on me and Shawn than it was on her-she hardly cried at all. I have been having so much fun with her during the day and we are now working to get her on a more regular schedule. By taking more scheduled naps in her bed she seems to be much more content when she is awake. I had some random pictures to post so I just lumped them all into this post.

Swaddling works miracles for her. She can be crying and as soon as we swaddle her she is perfectly calm. We can put her in her bed awake and she doesn't make a peep and goes right to sleep!

She is quite the lazy eater! It is a wonder we have made it to 10 pounds given that this is how she is every time she eats!

She hates being on her tummy but seems to tolerate it a little longer on her boppy. Her dislike of being on her tummy led to her rolling from her tummy to her back when she was only a week old-we have the video to prove it!

Uncle Jeremy got to come for a visit and brought lots of hugs and kisses from New Mexico!

I love just hanging out with my daddy!

I am slowly but surely getting things done in her room-I was pretty excited with how her name turned out!

It is so fun playing dress up with little girls-especially when they have enough hair for bows!

So Much Fun!

Everybody has told me from the time I found out that I was pregnant that time would fly by when the baby got here. They weren't kidding-it is so hard to believe it has already been two weeks and Emerson has already changed so much in those two weeks. We are having a blast with her! She has such a fun little personality and, we may be a little biased, but she gets cuter every day. I of course am having so much fun playing dress up with her. It is becoming very dangerous to go anywhere that carries kids clothes...I can't seem to go anywhere without buying more clothes!

Somehow she covered her own head with the blanket during her nap!
