For the record

Emmeline is five weeks old today. She started smiling on 5/14 and now gives me so many smiles sometimes that I can't count them. However, I haven't been able to capture any on camera yet. I think I need a joint effort with one person holding the camera and another coaxing out a smile. The dress in these pictures was given to Emi by Alaina. She picked it because it's similar to a dress she owns.

Emi slept from about 10-6:15 last night! I think that was her best yet. Her feeding started sometime before 9:30. It seems unbelievable that she can go that long at her age, but I'm just trying to enjoy it and make sure she gets what she needs. She has had at least one 4, 5, or 6 hour (or more, lately!) stretch at night pretty much since she got home from the hospital. I'm not expecting things to always be that way, but she has been a really great sleeper so far. I'm writing all this here because I don't have a baby book for her, I'm not sure if I'll get one, and I'm guessing that my memory will not hold up perfectly!
