Happy 1 month Emmy!
Our baby girl is 1 month old today and I can't believe it! 1 month ago our lives changed for the better. We couldn't be more thrilled with this little one, she has given us so much joy (even in the difficult, darkest hours of the night when she decides she would rather be wide awake and crying than snug in her bassinet sleeping.)
Here are some things that we 've discovered about our pretty Emmy during the past month!
- She would rather open one eye at a time than both, little pirate.
- She loves to be swaddled, and only her daddy can do it the right way.
- She eats like nobody's business, but it's paying off because as of a few nights ago she weighed 7 pounds 5 ounces!
- Her favorite trick is to wait to poop or pee until we take her diaper off. Surprises are not in short supply around here.
- She has a love/hate relationship with her pacifier. She'll be perfectly content sucking away and then she'll bat it out of her own mouth and when you try to give it back to her she'll give you heck!
- She bleats like a baby goat when she is waking up! I'm trying to record it. It's the cutest thing ever.
- She loves to be held and rocked. Thank goodness we just got a rocking chair today, Nathan is very thankful. He can sit down to rock her now when she wakes up at night! I feed her, he rocks her. Teamwork!
- She is finally beginning to fill out her newborn clothes. Hopefully, we'll be moving up to 0-3 months soon.
- She likes baths until it's time to get out. She's not a fan of being cold, and I don't blame her! I think Nathan loves bath time just as much as Emerson does :)
- She took her first bottle last week.
- Right now she wakes up every 3-4 hours to be fed. We made it 5 hours two nights ago, it was heavenly!
- She studies everything around her with such intent, I wish I knew what was she was thinking. She soaks it all in :)
- She's a little wiggle worm! She moves her arms and legs all the time, and she HAS to have her hands up by her face.
Here's a few (okay a lot) of my favorite pictures from this month:
