12 weeks

Emery is 12 weeks old and is just growing so fast! She now weighs 12lbs 9oz and smiles and coos back and forth with me. She is so observant and loves to laugh at the TV. She is truly such a happy baby! She sleeps in her crib all night long, and sometimes I am forced to wake her up in the morning so that I can feed her and get her ready to go to the sitter's. Speaking of which I am still undecided about. I like our sitter, I trust her and everything but I think she may be watching too many kids and I am concerned That Emery might not be getting the attention she needs. Archie told me I have to give it more than a weeks try so I will but if I still feel the same way in a couple of weeks we may be looking elsewhere.

On another note Emy rolled over for the first time last night! She went from Back to belly then back over again. I have tried to catch it on video but It's like she notices me filming her and just stares at the camera! Silly girl!

We are hoping to open the crawfish hut super bowl weekend....

Back to work

So tomorrow is the day I have been dreading for the past two and a half months. Emery turned 11 weeks on Friday so I have had some wonderful time at home with her. I am so sad to leave her in the morning. I know it will be ok but I still can't stop thinking about it. Archie's mom came to visit this weekend so it took it off my mind which was good. But all day I have been thinking about it nonstop. Tears tears and more tears :(

Baptism of the Lord, & Emery!

Sunday January 9, 2011 we baptized Emery in Lake Charles at St. Martin de Porres Catholic Church. This day was very special because it was also the Baptism of the Lord. What an awesome day to be baptized right?!? Emery was baptized by Father Keith who married Archie and I and he was happy to continue blessing our family. We were surrounded by family and friends and had a nice reception afterwards at my mom's house. Great food and great company made the day just perfect. Emery did so well and didn't even cry when the Holy water was being poured over her head. Here is a slide show of the baptism :0

Emery videos

So I just plugged in my Flip to my MAC for the first time so here are some videos!

On the first one she doesnt really smile until the end so you may wanna fast forward.

Dr appt update

Emery had her 2 month checkup today and here are our stats:

11 1/2 pounds

23.5 inches long

She's in the 50th percentile for weight and 75th percentile for height so hopefully she's tall and thin!

On another note the Dr told me to try and make her sleep on her back. Which really bums me out since last night she slept in her crib until 330 am and woke up to feed then went right back down. I feel I've made so much progress and will now be taking steps back. I know all the studies say the back is the way to go. So we will try tonight...... Wish us luck!

Emery Smiling

We have been trying to get her smiling and laughing on video (and in good quality) for the past two weeks. For the past few weeks she has been so responsive and we can almost always get her to smile. Excuse the baby talk voices :)
