One Month

Emma Grace is one month old today!
At one month, Emma enjoys short amounts of playtime on the floor or in her bouncy seat.  But mostly she just likes being held and snuggled.  She no longer minds her baths, and she sleeps incredibly well during the day.  We don't have much consistency with nighttime sleeping, but Emma has mastered the art of sucking down bottles as quickly as possible so at least when we're up, it's usually not for long.  Emma makes our family feel so complete, and I just love her to pieces.
 
Sara continues to be a wonderful big sister.  In the mornings before she leaves for school, she likes to go in and say goodbye to Emma.  Usually Emma is sleeping, so Sara just gently rubs Emma's head or whispers, "See you later, Baby Emma.".  One of Sara's new favorite things to do is to help burp Emma.  She thinks it's especially fun when Emma rewards her with a loud burp.  Simple pleasures.  I have to laugh because Sara has started speaking for Emma; she'll say things like: "Me and Baby Emma don't like this show" or "Me and Baby Emma want to take a bath."  It's just so incredible to watch Sara love her little sister.
 
What a beautiful month; it'll be a year before I know it...

First - Emma is just adorable. The picture of her in the little mermaid tail is too cute! Second - so you don't have to wonder about flooby - it was hair. :)
