Over a month old

Emma doesn't really seem colicky, so we are relieved about that. She hasn't had any more rashes either, other than a little diaper rash. She still loves to be held. I love snuggling her too but would like to get a few more things done. A shower is a big accomplishment for the day. She has had to sit in the bouncer in the bathroom which she is getting used to. Emma is becoming more aware of her surroundings which helps her keep distracted that she isn't being held.

Emmitt absolutely loves "protecting" her. He also can't help himself when it comes to her fingers and toes...he has to lick them every chance he gets. He seems to get a bit worried if she is crying, but won't usually bark. He just looks at us like he is asking if we're going to do something about it.

My mom bought us a baby scale so that is handy to know if she is gaining weight. Even without the scale I can tell she is heavier. I've also noticed her cheeks have filled out more and her thighs are getting more chubby. So cute....when you're a baby!

She smiles a lot in her sleep like the first video that I posted. I realize that in that video she was in what they call "active sleep". Lots of eye movement and mouth movements.

I think she cooed at me today when I was talking to her. It will be fun to interact more as she becomes more aware of her surroundings and her abilities mature.

If you have any questions just post a comment. I'm not sure what you want to know or what I have missed. Thanks for reading.
