I love seeing this face every morning!

Sometimes after her first feeding of the morning she just falls into a deep sleep and takes a snooze on our bed looking very cozy:

First laugh

It seems really early, but we're pretty sure Todd made Emi laugh for the first time tonight. He was being silly with her and we both heard the laugh and he said her belly even moved. :-)

Two-month checkup

Emi weighs 11 pounds 12 ounces (75th percentile) and is 24 inches long (97th percentile). She did great with getting her vaccinations. Oddly, at the end of the appointment I noticed I was covered in blood that must've been shed when she got her shots. Alaina was very patient during the appointment and helped me with the stroller. Emi is in a good mood now -- hopefully she won't feel too miserable after the shots.

Story time with the dolls...

I'm pretty sure she's going to be eaten by her big sister!



Big grin

Wow -- look at those cheeks! :-) I think she's well fed. Emmeline has been smiling so much and cooing/vocalizing a lot more. Ah-goo! :-)

A few "Emmeline"-related tidbits for you. First, there's a poem by A.A. Milne (though to rhyme properly the name would have to be pronounced Emmaleen.

BEFORE TEA

Emmeline
Has not been seen
For more than a week. She slipped between
The tow tall trees at the end of the green...
We all went after her. "Emmeline!"

"Emmeline,
I didn't mean -
I only said that your hand weren't clean."
We went to the trees at the end of the green...
But Emmeline
Was not to be seen.

Emmeline
Came slipping between
The tow tall trees at the end of the green.
We all ran to her. "Emmeline!
Where have you been?
Where have you been?
Why, it's more than a week!" And Emmeline
Said, "Sillies, I went and saw the Queen.
She says my hands are purfickly clean!"

-A.A. Milne (author of Winnie the Pooh)

Emmeline is also a character in the second Anne of Green Gables movie.

There's also a Ben Folds song called Emaline.

Last night Emi slept from 11 or so until about 7:15 this morning! Also, this morning she rolled from front to back. She's done that a couple times before but I thought it was accidental. Today I knew for sure that she was able to do it. Yesterday she was fussier than usual -- they say that 6 weeks is the peak of fussiness, so maybe that's what it was.
