Our First Month

We can't believe that it has been a month since we welcomed our precious Emory into this world. I can't get over how much Emory has changed over this past month. Last Wednesday was a big changing day for her. Emory's umbilical cord finally fell off that day and the change began. She was wide awake on the way to church so we decided to take her to her own class that evening. They said she stayed awake the whole time, but wasn't too interested in the whole thing. Other changes that came: she's getting chubbier, going longer between meals, losing her baby hair, and smiling more and more. I got in the car after church and began complaining to Aaron about how quickly the changes are coming. He laughed at me and is already preparing himself for handling my emotions on the first day of Kindergarten. haha...like he's going to be so calm.

We also gave Emory her first bath the next day. She HATED it. She screamed and cried the whole time. I think the shock of the water was a little too much for her. It was a traumatic experience for all three of us. I'm happy to report that her next bath was slightly better. I'm hoping that she will get more and more relaxed with each bath...maybe one day she will even like them.

She is such a doll! Time does go by so fast! I can't believe she is a month already! I get to hold her in less than 2 months!!

They grow so fast, huh? I am suprised her cord just fell off...Noah's came off about a week after birth. Babies are all so different! She is so precious!

Isn't sad how fast they grow!? I tell ya, it makes me so sad. But the good thing is, all the phases are so sweet. I can't wait to see her again! Hope yall are great. Doing a good job, momma! And yeah, Kindergarten...I think (my) Aaron will have a harder time than me when that day comes for us over here! Your Aaron might, too! ;)
