Why We Love Emma



Livie feeding Emma her first bottle. I always get my babies to take a bottle within the first week. As they get older it is SO nice to be able to leave for more then 2 hours. I can pump and some one else can have a turn feeding little Emma!

2 week stats:
weight: 7.41 lbs (23%)
height:20.25" (51%)
head:13.75" (26%)

Emma is a rather good baby. Here are some reasons why...
Sleeps 3-4 hours at night. It is never enough, but it could be worse!
Hardly ever cries...
She laughs and smiles a lot
She is adaptable. She takes a bottle, a binky, and the boob!
She has soft fuzz on her head
She lets Claire and Livie hold her, bump her, and scream around her and Emma will sleep through it all
She doesn't spit up too often (Claire and Liv spit up after EVERY feeding)
She hasn't blown out of her diaper... yet
She is just precious and little. If she would sleep 8 hours at a time I just may keep her this way forever ;) Oh, and if I didn't have to nurse every 2 hours... It gets old.

She's so sweet! I need to come over and snuggle her some time. Glad things are going well.

She's so sweet. I miss her. It's soothing to hold a baby who is so at peace. I'm glad she still has hair. It will be fun to watch and see if she keeps it and then to see how fast it grows compared to the other girls. I think she looks more like Claire than Olivia (when I look at baby pics of Claire). Anyway, I miss you all. I'd rather be pushing the girls on the swings right now than being here at work looking at your blog when I should be putting together a deposit... yeah, yeah, guess I'd best go. Love ya!!!

Your girls are precious! Oh and it's a dream to have one that doesn't spit up :-) The sleeping will come soon, hopefully.

Were those pictures taken when I was there??? If so, I demand (well... ask nicely) for some recent ones of Emma. I know she's changing a lot and we all want to see how much. Well, at least I do! Thanks.

What a lucky little girl! I'm so glad she's a keeper. :)
