11 weeks

Emilia will be 11 weeks tomorrow!! She has done so much in the last week it's unbelievable. She talks non-stop when she's awake. I don't have any idea what she's saying but she's quite the chatterbox. She's sitting up in her Bumbo seat...which looks like it's swallowing her whole since she's such a little peanut. She's been rolling from back to side and from side to back for a little while now but she has recently begun rolling from tummy to back if she gets her arm under her just right (as you can see in the video). She's showing more interest in LJ now and notices him walking around and laying next to her. She also just started holding things if they are put in her hand. She's growing in leaps and bounds!!

Week 10

I can't believe my little girl is already 10 weeks old!! Everyone says it goes fast but you don't really understand until you're in the middle of it. She is growing so fast...not just every day but every hour! She weighed 8'6" at the last pediatrician visit and is now close to 9 pounds. She is growing out of her newborn clothes and into her 0-3 month clothes. Her hair gets lighter after every bath and longer (and more out of control) everyday. We are trying to get better with sleeping and she shows me everyday that I no longer control my days. She loves to play, read books, and sing songs (I do most of the reading and singing although she chimes in from time to time).

We took our first trip to PA this past weekend. It was a great time. Emilia got to meet her whole CRAZY family. Even though it was busy, it was fun!!

She got a full physical and clean bill of health from Aunt Janet!


Cody, Leyla, Aidan, and Joey got to meet their first cousin!

Weeks 6 & 7

I know I haven't blogged in a while. I got a virus on the laptop and it's still down. I've had to move to the dinosaur in the office so things move pretty slowly. So much has happened in the past couple of weeks. Emilia is getting bigger and bigger every day. We had to go the pediatrician about a week and half ago to have them check her belly button - just a little silver nitrate and we were good to go. However, she weighed in at a whopping 7 pounds 4 ounces while we were there. She's growing out of her newborn clothes (finally) and is getting ready to move to size 1 diapers!! Grammi came down to visit for a couple of days and we spent the time relaxing and playing.



Amanda came up from South Carolina for her baby shower thrown by her mother. Many of us were there representing CTC with our babies...Emi stole the show as usual.



This past weekend was extremely busy. We went the HP holiday party on Saturday. Thanks so much to Lu who came along and stayed with Emilia in the hotel room for the evening! We all went down to the party at the end of the night...where Emi stole the show again!! Then on Sunday we were invited to see the Caps game from a luxury box - never say "No" to that. The game was pretty loud and we had an obnoxious whistler in the box with us, but beggers can't be choosers and the game was still fun. Caps won!! We spent the Super Bowl relaxing at home since all of us were beat from the long weekend. This week Emilia and I are just chilling at home and trying to establish some sort of routine for eating and sleeping. She's doing very well and loves to play on her jungle mat. She's making so many sounds now. My favorite is when a tiny little "goo" comes all the way from her toes and shakes her whole body.
