12 weeks!

Posting a day early. 12 weeks tomorrow.
Emma loves: to smile, Max, cartoons, baths and her bottle.
Emma hates: to get out of the bath and mornings.
She is stubborn and has little patience when she waiting for her bottle.

Two Months!

It is crazy to think that Emma is two months old. She is developing more of a personality every day. She loves her bottle and is eating almost every minute she is awake. She has a very stubborn streak and when she is mad/upset/bored she lets everyone know it. Emma is also adorable and loves to smile especially when I am ready to give up during one of her fits.
Emma doesn't like to lie down very often if she is awake. She is almost able to hold her head up and loves to sit or stand up. She has very strong legs and pushes herself around on those skinny legs. I am starting back to school next week and it will be an adjustment for her since she has been spoiled staying home with Mommy every day. I am excited to be going back to school but I will miss our one on one days where we just lounged around and cuddled.
The last two months have been two of the best but exhausting months of my life. I wouldn't trade them for the world and I can't wait to see how Emma develops over the next two.

Happy Holidays!

Emma and I are both enjoying being back in Utah especially in time for the holidays. Emma has enjoyed meeting all of the family. She has been going through a massive growth spurt that has kept us both up for the last few days. Last night she finally slept and getting sleep after being sleep deprived is an amazing thing. We are getting ready for her blessing this sunday and for school to start in 2 weeks. It will be nice to get back to a routine and finish my last semester of law school. I hope everyone had a great holiday and have a great New Year!

One Month Update

Emma is one month old!! It is crazy how time flies. Emma and I have had a busy couple of weeks. We had a quiet Thanksgiving at home and then I had to start getting ready for finals. My aunt and sister came in to help with packing and watching Emma so I can study. Emma has sleepy days and awake days. Her awake days are fun until she gets overtired. She is a very expressive little girl and loves to mimic faces. However, she doesn't know how to relax enough to sleep after being awake for a few hours so she won't sleep and when she does sleep it is not as restful. When we get back to Utah the setting up of a routine will be much easier. We are both excited to move home and for Emma to meet her family.

Two weeks!

Crazy how time flies. It has already been 15 days and Emma is still doing amazing. She has developed quite a temper when she believes she isn't being fed fast enough but rarely cries. I spent the last week home with her and we had a very lazy week. I am excited for her to be awake more but I am enjoying a very calm and sleepy baby while it lasts. Three more weeks until we move home and I can't wait for everyone to meet her. 

Play time

After birth, Emma was very alert for most of the night. After that night she started sleeping 22-23 hours a day. Mom and I call her a little bird because she pecks for her food since she does not want to open her eyes. Finally, she is beginning to wake up and want to explore her new world. She smiles (no it is not gas) when she is talked to and loves looking at lights. When she is awake she is a happy baby who is very content just looking around or listening to whoever is holding her. When she sleeps she sleeps hard (except at night).

Sleeping

Emma is a really good sleeper, so much so that we were a little worried about her yesterday. Well that all changed at 1:30 am. She decided she wanted to be up and hasn't slept since (it is now 8 am). I am glad I have my mom out here to handle the bad nights so I can function at school the next day. Until she flips her days and nights I foresee a very long and tiring future ahead of me.
