On The Move

Emma CRAWLED today.  While she doe finitely doesn't have it down, she took about four little steps (crawls) this afternoon.  We were so happy that we were both home to be able to see it and a little frightened for what the future holds (all the baby proofing).  What a great birthday present for Wes :).

Rough Week

This has been a rough week.  I am glad that it is coming to an end.

On Monday my car was hit and there is an insurance dispute underway.  Boo.  I really dislike this kind of stuff.

On Monday night, Emma decided to scream her head off at 11pm.  She didn't go back down until 12:30.  And she was back up at 4.  Thank goodness for Wes, so I could get some sleep.

On Thursday, I found out that my boss is retiring.  I heart my boss and am very saddened by this news.

But there have also been some good things, and we have a really fun weekend planned.

For that I am grateful.

Wordless Wednesday

my heart is filled with pure joy

Emma went from laying to sitting today!  Wes called to tell me the good news and then sent me this video :). Enjoy!

Sleeping Woes

Baby Girl,

When you wake up at 1:00 in the morning with that ridiculously sweet gummy grin and muttering "na na na na na", it is not so cute.  Mommy and daddy prefer to be asleep at 1:00 in the morning.  Mommy prefers to feed you and lay you back down and you roll on that tummy of yours and go back to sleep.  Not have to go in and comfort you 15 minutes later.  Then have to wake up daddy to comfort you (because that is what worked the night before).  It is even not funnier that you liked to keep daddy up until 3:30 in the morning.  He likes to sleep too.  I know this is just a phase, but I am ready for this part of the phase to come to an end.  Sweet child of mine- please sleep during the nighttime.

ps- feel free to flash that sweet gummy grin during the hours of 6am and 8pm.  We do agree with you that you are ridiculously cute (especially during the daytime).  Not that your mommy is picky or anything.

All our very tired love,
Mommy and Daddy

I hope you know how loved you are, Emma :)
