2 weeks old today

Happy 2 week birthday to Emily!  We think she's just the cutest thing so here are some pictures from her first couple of weeks and what we've been up to. As you can see she mostly sleeps but has been increasingly alert as she's grown.  She's even starting to smile a little and not just when she's milk drunk (which is my favorite face).  Yesterday we had her 2 week doctor's appointment to check her weight and progress so far. I must be feeding her chocolate milk when she nurses b/c she weighed 6lbs 8oz the Monday after she was born (typical to lose 10% of her birth weight) and yesterday she had not only gained back to her birth weight but even added some. She weighs a whopping 7lbs 10oz now! I was thrilled b/c I had been worried about the whole nursing thing.  She got a good bill of health-praise God!  She's a good baby and just gets a little fussy in the evenings.  Some nights she'll sleep well, other not so much. We're still working on figuring out a schedule but we're doing well :)

Sleep has been precious around here so we snooze when we can :) Blaine is so good at swaddling and soothing her!  He sings songs that he's made up and helps keep her calm.

This sticker says "just born" but you can't see it. Hopefully we'll remember to take a picture each month showing how much she's grown. Don't you just love the lady like pose and hair bow!

This is what she spends most of her time doing...sleeping!

This just melts my heart, such a good daddy; my cup runneth over!

Big yawn in her cute purple pj's

she's a little more alert here in this super cute outfit

We take strolls around the neighborhood in the BOB-she does really good and likes to rest her hand on the safety strap.  Its getting really hot though so we have to walk early in the morning or in the evenings. So far we haven't made it in the mornings b/c we've been napping!

so sweet

Emily does really good in the car too, usually sleeping but here she's just taking in the scenery. We still haven't ventured out with just the two of us-maybe today (YIKES!)

She's even pretty entertained by her play mat/gym thingy.  We haven't really done tummy time though, she doesn't like it :)

Here she is in her swing that her Papa G (my dad) put together!

She doesn't really like this outfit i think but i thought it was pretty cute. Not sure if yellow is her color though :)

This is just before we went to the doctor yesterday.

Such a big girl playing on her mat!
