Our Little Weepublican

Emilia decided to wear her "Weepublican" t-shirt today...she's a free-thinker!

5 Weeks!!

So much has happened in a week. Brian gave Emi a bath for the first time, which she enjoyed but oh so cold getting out of the warm tub. She is smiling more and more everyday...a smile to melt your heart. Her expressions are more and more animated all the time and she is responding so much more now. She is enjoying her play time - even her tummy time if she is in the mood. This is her first favorite toy. She can't get enough of it and she even bats at it with her hands.

4 weeks old!!

Emi is already 4 weeks old!! I can't believe how big she has gotten! We saw the pediatrician this morning and she is gaining weight like a champion. She is now 6lb. 7 oz. and 19 3/4" long...OH MY!!! She also showed me her first social smile a couple of days ago and she is cooing all the time. Such a happy, healthy baby...so much to be thankful for!

Happy New Year!!

The Fish Family spent a nice New Year holiday at home. Matt, Amanda, Case, and Lauren all came over to ring in the new year. We had a great celebration well into New Year's Day. After a less-than-restful night we celebrated LJ's third birthday. He spent a cozy day taking advantage of his birthday boy status. We also celebrate Emi's 3-week birthday. Hard to believe it has already been 3 whole weeks!! Later in the day we went to the Hilton's to watch the Rose Bowl. Despite a disappointing loss to USC we had a great day!!

Daddy's first feeding

Daddy gave Emi a feeding for the first time tonight. He is such a proud pappa. Then they were so tired they both fell fast asleep...

Emi's First Bath!

Emi got her first real bath today! Her belly button is all dried out and cute as a "button" (pun intended). She wasn't so sure about it at first but really enjoyed the water once she got used to the idea. She did very well until she had to get out into the cold air. She was happy once again after being wrapped up in her towel. So many firsts!!!

Emilia's First Christmas!

Emilia celebrated her first Christmas at home with mommy, daddy, and big brother LJ. She slept through the morning but graced us with her bright eyes for a couple of hours in the afternoon. She's awake more and more everyday! We took a walk in the sunshine...which we haven't seen in quite a while! Emi got some cute clothes from aunt Lu; some cute clothes, a teddy bear, and washcloths from Mammaw and Pappaw, a great toy and book from Grammi, and lots of love a kisses from her parents!

P.S. I have figured out some cool photo editing so now you'll see lots of creative pictures just like this first one...
