Emmerson - 2 Months

Our sweet baby girl is 2 months already!  We just love loving on her and watching her grow.  At her 2 month appointment, which was actually at 7 weeks, she weighed 11 lbs. 3.9 oz. and 23 3/4 in. long.  Her checks are getting chubbier and I have to make sure I scrub between her rolls.  We love it!  Lately she has been jabbering and smiling.  She loves to talk to the animals on her bouncy seat.  I remember Ollie doing the same thing :)  She has been a great sleeper!  She has been going down for the night around 9 or 10 and then sleeping somewhere between 5 and 7am and then goes back to sleep till around 9.  She takes nice naps and has been good about going down whether I hold her or she falls asleep in her bed.  This week we officially got Ollie's room done so he has moved out of the nursery and Emmerson has moved in!  Still need to had some girly touches to the nursery :)  Ollie is still doing very well with her.  He loves telling her everything he is doing and is still correcting us if we call her the wrong name.  Lately she has been "Baby Girl" or "Emmie".  She may not know her real name for a while :)  She is very easy going but will let me know when she is hungry or tired.  Here are some recent pictures of our Pumpkin...   

We are so thankful for you and love you very much Emmerson!

Gitche Gumee 2012

We had another fun week at Gitche Gumee Bible Camp this year, although it wasn't quite as relaxing with TWO little ones :)  The drive up was broken up into two days but the ride back we did in one and wasn't as bad as we thought it would be.  While we were there Emmerson got a cold and we decided to take her to the ER to make sure that it was just a cough.  Thank God it was!  Here are some pictures that highlight our fun week....

Ollie was obsessed with throwing rocks in the water and LOVED the beach!

We loved our time with family and the break from the heat back home :)

Ames

This past weekend we drove up to Ames to say goodbye to some wonderful friends.  We had so much fun catching up with them and others that came to say goodbye as well.  We hope to see them in the next couple of years when we go visit them in Virginia because Andrew's brother lives there as well!
It was a short trip but well worth it... we will miss you guys!

Emmerson 1 month

Emmerson has been a good baby.  She is a good sleeper, always seems to wake up around 2 am and 5 am.  She will then sleep till 8 or 9 and then take good morning and afternoon naps.  So nice because then I usually get one too!  I'm noticing she doesn't eat as much as Ollie did... probably never will :)  We are starting to see some smiles and notice a coo once in a while.  At her week and a half check-up she weighed 8 lbs 9 oz which is 6 oz more than her birth weight.  She is filling out more and more and I'm starting to have to clean between rolls.  Love it!  She is starting to lose some hair and get some baby acne... oh the stages babies must go through :)  Here are some pictures of the first month of her life...

We love you baby girl and are excited to watch you grow!
