New this week

Emory is changing more and more every day. This week she's been a little mover. She will scoot almost off her wedge pilow at night. She wiggles until she's turned sideways on the floor or couch and she's turning to her side. She has also found her hands and her poor face is taking quite a beating. She loves to grab her cheeks or try to grab her eyes when she gets tired. It's very cute, but hopefully she won't start leaving marks. :)


She has also started sleeping in her crib. She will start off in her crib and sleep for 4-5 hours then I am too lazy to carry her back and forth so after she eats I put her back in the cradle in our room. Last night she woke up at 2:30 to eat and then at 4:00. I knew she wasn't too hungry so I kept putting her paci back in and got tired so we got in the recliner and she slept until 6:30. That means if I was back at work so would have only ate once during the night. Since I'm still about to sleep in, she got up twice. Not bad!! I've heard big changes comes at 2 months and since she's 2 months on Saturday hopefully we're already starting to see the changes.



Aaron also got a chance to baby sit on Saturday. I ran to Dillard's and Drug Emporium. I called him after Dillard's and she was screaming. He said he was going to fix a bottle so I went on to D.E. When I got home they both gave me "the look." Emory had milk all over her and was in her swing. Aaron said the bottle kept leaking on her. I use the Dr. Brown bottles and he hadn't put in the insert. (I've made the same mistake when I forgot the insert while out.) Anyway, good news...she survived and so did he! :) He also took her to his parents while I had my church Bunco group at the house. They did great then too. So I think she'll be able to make it when I go back to work, which we're not talking about yet.

Here is Emory taking a nap in her crib.

Here is the finally product of Aaron's rocking horse. He did the making and I did the painting. He found some places he didn't like so we decided we would give this one away. (That sounds bad, like we give away our rejects. It really does look good and even I couldn't even tell his "mistakes.") Since this was a practice, we'll both get better.


I just thought Emory looked so cute on Sunday for church. Thanks Rach for the dress, we needed something warm on a rainy Sunday.

I'm glad Aaron survived alone! When I would leave George I'd call home too and always hear crying! But they survived! Cute dress and cute rocking horse! We've got our hotel room and are ready to see yall in a month!

I've loved Dr. Brown's bottles...but they do have lots of parts. I've left the flat disc that keep milk from spilling while not in use in the bottle when heating it up several times...always resulting in the same result- a great big mess! Also...they're not kidding about the fill line- fill it one drop past it and they will leak. Operator problems on both accounts...otherwise, they're great! PS...I think the rocking horse is adorable!

You and Emory both look great! I cannot believe she will sleep in her crib unswaddled at 2 months. That's great!

The rocking horse is soooo cute! Who is the lucky girl that's getting it?

Everything sounds like it's going great. I am so proud of you! You're a natural.
