One Month Old

Yea! Emerson is one month old today...and, it is also her actual due date! She is doing really well, and though we don't know what she weighs right now, we go to the Doc next week, I think she is close to 7 pounds! She is awake quite a bit during the day, and is sleeping in 3 hour chunks at night. She loves to look at the pictures on our walls, or anything on the walls really, she definitely gets lost in them when she is looking around. When Bryden tries to give Emmy a hug, a lot of times Emmy will throw her arm up (more a reflex than anything), but we tell Bryden that Emmy is hugging her back! Both girls are doing really well, and Bryden is so funny because she'll say "I'll take care of it!" when Emerson starts to fuss! Such a little Mommy, it is too cute! Enjoy the pics!

Yipee, look at me! I am one month old today!




How can this be comfortable? I just don't know, but Emmy sleeps like this ALL the time in her carseat, and her head is always to the same side. She must have been curled up like that inside. We try to put a little stuffed doggie by her head, but she still usually manages to end up with her ear attached to her shoulder! It must be a newborn thing though, I remember Bryden doing the same thing!

Ahhhhh! Sweet slumber! Nap time for the girls!

Bath Time

Both girls needed a bath tonight, so they got to share tub time! Bryden was a big helper in pouring water over Emmy to get her smelling all clean and fresh! Enjoy the pics!



This is just a cute pic of the girls hanging out together on the couch!

Little Helper

Bryden LOVES LOVES LOVES her little sister and really enjoys helping Mommy and Daddy take care of her! When Emerson starts to squeak, Bryden hollers "Mommy, Emmy needs her diaper changed." So funny! She really wants to be involved in caring for Emerson and it is fun for us to watch her show her love and affection. Here is a cute pic of Bryden changing Emerson's diaper. Enjoy!

Peaceful Slumber

Emerson loves to snooze during the day, though she is starting to stay awake for longer periods at a time, but she's a sleeper for sure...Now, if I can just get her to sleep this soundly at night (I don't know if it is too quiet at night or what, but she has a much more restless sleep at night as opposed to the daytime). Enjoy!

John and Sandi

Uncle John and his girlfriend Sandi came to visit the girls the other day! They had a great time, and as always, so did Bryden and Emerson! Enjoy!

Little Mommy

Bryden is such a little Mommy, in every way, but this is just too cute. I am nursing Emerson, but I still have to pump quite a bit since she doesn't eat much, so tonight, Bryden decided that she needed to pump as well...Enjoy!

Wanna Be Professional Photographer

So, I am totally a wanna be professional photographer...I mean, not really for other people, but just to take fabulous pics of my family! I tried to set up some portrait shots today...they are still a work in progress, but turned out OK for the most part. Both girls and Daddy were very patient and cooperative with me as I kept moving their positions and stripping Emmy naked and all kids of fun stuff! I hope to get some more shots in the near future, but in the meantime, here are some cute photos!








Visitors!!!

Our good friends Samantha and Jarratt came down from D.C. yesterday to see Bryden and meet Little Emerson! Bryden had a blast playing with them both, and they both enjoyed loving on Emmy and getting a taste of an energetic three year old! Here are some cute pics...Enjoy! P.S Thanks for the gifts guys...B is still wearing her princess dress today, she loves it!

Emerson's First Bath

Emerson's umbilical cord fell off yesterday, so she got her first real bath! Bryden did a great job helping Mommy...she was my videographer! I have to watch the video still to see if she got any of Emerson, or if she just got the tub, but I will post it if she caught anything! Enjoy the pics!

Her Eyes are Open!

Yay! Emerson is opening her eyes more and more each day! Today she was awake for about 2 hours (not straight, but in little bouts). We love watching her look around like she is in awe of the world around her!



The Early Days

So, people keep asking us if Bryden and Emerson look alike...Hmmm, we can't really tell. To us, our kids just look like themselves, but, I thought it would be fun to put up similar pics of the girls and let you all decide if they look alike, or if they look like Jim or I! Share your thoughts!
