I know...it has been a while

You never realize how much time a baby takes until you have one. They do not easily sit around and entertain themselves. Since having Emery, almost 9 weeks ago, a lot has gone on that has kept us very busy. I am sorry that I have not blogged in a long time, for those of you that check, but I have not had an hour to myself in a long time.

Here are some pictures to keep you updated on Emery's progress. I am not going to go back and recount the last weeks, but I will let you know that Emery is growing so much every day. We last had her weighed on Tuesday and she was at 9 lbs, 10 oz! It helps that the previous 2 weeks she gained almost a pound a week! Enjoy the pictures. I hope to keep the site updated more frequently.

Here is Emery taking her first bath at home. I have to admit, she did pretty well. We had my mom taking pictures and my step-dad filming. Here is what they looked like afterwards.


Here is a picture of Emery when she was still pretty tiny. The only thing we let her wear were these little sleepers with hands and feet. She slept a lot. Here is a picture of her sleeping on Hugh, one of her favorite things to do. The other is a picture of what she looked like one day after waking up. Somehow, she managed to get both legs in the same leg hole on her sleeper. They were new born size, and still too big.


Did I mention that she likes to sleep?

In May, we also were lucky enough to get a visit from "Buncle" Chris. Apparently adding the b to uncle makes him the "best uncle."


And, in June, we got a visit from Grandpa Birkland.
