Emily-Mia comparison

Emily- 3 days oldMia- 1 week old
Don't they look a lot alike?

Emily- 11 days old

Update: Emily is still eating like a rock star! She continues to sleep between 3-4 hours in one stretch, which is awesome because Wilson and I are getting great sleep. She is more alert during the day and will turn her head to your voice!

Fashion statement

I have been blogging so much about Emily, that I thought it was time to dedicate a post to the older girls.


Mia has lately been wanting to ONLY wear dresses, which is fine by me, but she tends to add other clothing on to the mix that don't quite match:)

Ally has enjoyed accessorizing and was determined to place as many bracelets on her arm as she could find!

Totally Out

As I have mentioned before, Emily hates being cold, especially when we give her a bath. Well, here is a video of her after her bath last night. She cried so much during the bathing that she fell asleep immediately after from exhaustion. It was hilarious...and this is what it looked like:

Due Date

Today is Emily's due date (Dec. 3rd) and it's hard to imagine that in ten days you can already become so attached to such a little person!

I took Emily to the pediatrician today for a weight check and she has gained 8 oz. in the last six days, which puts her at 5 lbs. 5 oz.. (above her birth weight!) So, she does not need to go back until her 2 month check-up.

Some things about Emily:
- she hates being cold, especially baths and diaper changes!
- she is a very easy going baby and can sleep through anything
- when she cries it's a very quiet cry and sometimes she makes a face as if she is crying, but no sound or noise comes out of her
- when she is awake, she is very alert and looks around very curiously
- she loves when Papa plays the piano and it lull's her to sleep
- she sleeps up to four hours at a time at night
- she loves to be bounced and rocked to sleep

Two More Videos

This video is right after we walked in the front door after coming home from the hospital:



Ally took a nap, so Mia took advantage of the time to get to know Emily a little better:
