Too many to choose from

We were trying to take pictures of Emma this weekend, for Christmas presents, but she didn't cooperate very well. Here is what we had to work with:

 

 

Her hair was crazy after bath time.

 

 These two are from yesterday.

Fell asleep watching football with mom.

A hat for the sun

Martha gave us this hat for Emma, to keep the sun out of her eyes. I wish my camera was faster...she was smiling before I took each of these photos.

Emma has been sleeping a lot today again. It is just fine with me because she hardly slept yesterday and I about went crazy. Steven let me go pick up dinner by myself...it is amazing what 45 minutes of alone time can do for your sanity. Also....Emma did not want to go to sleep last night. We did all our normal stuff to put her down, but she would not go to sleep. She was happy, just wanted to play, but you could see how tired she was from her eyes...they had these big, heavy red bags. So finally I put her in her bed, told her it was time for nite nite and turned out the light. I fell asleep listening to her talking to herself, woke up a half hour later and she was asleep. Steven said she just had to get all her words out. It was pretty cute to listen to.

My First Christmas

Emma seems to be more like herself today...not sleeping all the time, and not crying either. This makes me very happy. Here she is in front of the Christmas tree. Thanks to Martha who bought this onesie last year right after she found out I was pregnant. And thanks to the cloth diapers...it fits!  She was trying to sit up by herself so hard...she's going to do that one of these days. (She seems mostly uninterested in rolling over, however. I think she might just wake up and do it one day without warning.)

Home for lunch

Steven surprised us and came home for lunch today. It was a nice surprise...Emma even stayed awake most of the time. Here they are playing...Pepper tried to get in on the fun.

She sure loves her Daddy.

Sleeping Day(s)

 Emma with her grandparents...who I am sure can't wait to see her at Christmas (weather permitting).

Sorry about the lack of posting this week...Emma has been sleeping a LOT. I think she must be having a growth spurt (yesterday was 3 months after her due date). Yesterday she would wake up, eat, poop/get changed, look around for a few minutes, want to eat again, and go back to sleep. She was hardly up for more than an hour at a time.  Although she seems to be getting ornery about going to sleep. Usually I sing/rock her to sleep. Sometimes I put her down in her bed and she will wake, up, get all happy and excited like, "I'm being to cute to go to sleep! Pick me up!!!" And sometimes I do pick her up...sometimes she even giggles when I pick her up. She gets all excited like she tricked me into letting her stay up late...which is what happened last night when we skyped with Aunt Grace and Grandma Joy.

jeans

I am having fun putting Emma in new clothes since her big cloth diaper butt has suddenly outgrown her other clothes. I was super excited to put her in jeans....even if they are still to big.

Big Cloth Diaper Butt

Steven put the diaper sprayer on the toilet this morning, and she poopsploded AGAIN, so Emma is finally in her cloth diapers. We figure she will immediately go up a size in clothes. :) And hopefully, this will end 3 days straight of poopsplosions.

Love this face.

Watching football.

Watching football with Mom. :) ( I was chewing, that is why my face looks weird.)
