1 month doctor's visit

Sorry I have not posted anything in a while but I was waiting for Emily's one month check up with the pediatrician which was today. Emily weighs in at 10.13lbs and is 21 inches in length. She is in the 88% for her weight and 56% for her length which the doctor says is good. We got a clean bill of health today and the doctor is happy to see how strong Emily is for her age. She is growing so quickly.

Emily is starting to stay up longer during the day which will hopefully continue so that maybe we can get longer intervals at night between feedings. I have to say that Emily does sleep well. She goes about 4 hours between feedings. Here's our "cute little ducky". At least that is what her bib says.

Here is a picture of Emily during tummy time. She is getting so strong.

Put your hands up!! You're under arrest!!

Here's a video of Emily finally enjoying her swing.

Bath time is no fun

Emily is changing everyday. She is getting very good at holding her head up and she has a very firm grip. As Brad says she seems to find the few chest hairs he has and pulls them. She is trying to push up with her legs but they are still pretty weak. By the end of the month I am sure she will be able to push herself to a somewhat standing position. By request, here are some more pictures.


This is a picture from last week. It was not very fun trying to get her into the bear suit but she does look adorable in it.
Emily is getting better at playing on her mat. Everyday she will let me leave her on it a little longer. This picture was from Friday.

Emily is checking herself out in the mirror.

Here is Emily and daddy hanging out on the couch. This picture was taking today. I don't want everyone to think that I am just putting outdated pictures of her on the blog. There are some current ones like the picture below.

This is a picture of Emily taking a bath. Below is a video of her taking the same bath. Maybe you will notice the difference. Emily has not gotten used to bath time yet but she will eventually. I think the problem is that we can't put her in the water yet since her umbilical cord has not completely fallen off yet.

She used to sound more like a fog horn but she is growing out of it. More pictures to follow in a few days.

Play Date

Today Emily and I had a visit from her Aunt Cathy and cousin Kayla. Here is a picture of them together on the couch. Kayla is getting used to having another baby around but is not always to sure what to think of Emily.

Here are some other pictures of Emily hanging out around the house.

The arrival of Emily Paige

On January 29th I went into labor and that night Emily was born. She weighed in at 9lbs 3oz and was 20in long. The doctor said that she had a hard time pulling her out so it was probably best I had a c-section. I did get to experience labor pain do not wish to experience it again. Those epidurals are fantastic. Emily is doing really well. She goes about 3 hours before she needs to eat and then usually sleeps. Hopefully she will stay this way but I ma sure she will change and not sleep. We were discharged today and get to watch the Super Bowl from the comfort of Grandma's and Grandpa's. Here are some pictures of us at the hospital.

More pictures to follow tomorrow.
