Our first month with Emily!

We can barely believe it but we've just completed our first month of parenthood! What a crazy journey! Dave and I have learned so much over the last several weeks. Just when we thought we had seen it all, Emily started her second month on earth by pooping up her back! Her onesie and her blanket were all soaked through! EWW! I was so amused and amazed that I interrupted Dave during his workday just to show him. I will spare you the pictures but just trust that it was really something else!

Emily got to meet lots of friends and family last month. While her Grandma, Pop-Pop, Auntie Laura and Uncle Jeffie-poo were visiting she got to visit the Space Needle, ride the Monorail and see West Lake Center! It was so much fun. We were very sad to see them go and we hope that they come back soon.

For those of you who haven't got to meet Emily or don't get to see her often, I'll share some things about her that I've already fallen in love with. Please note that these are in no particular order, I love them all equally!

I love when Emily drinks so much milk that she becomes what I call "milk drunk". When she is milk drunk her head bobs around, her eyes are barely open and she often has milk all over her face. It is so dang cute!




I love when she wakes up from a nap and has a big yawn and a big stretch. It's as if she's just had the best sleep of her life!


I love when she smiles. Some people would argue that this is just gas, but Dave and I know in our hearts that she's really just responding to our goofiness! The smiles are especially nice because they give us a tiny glimpse into how beautiful she's going to be!!



I love when I am rocking her to sleep and we have time to stare into each others eyes. During this time it almost feels like she is as happy to have me as I am about having her. Of course there are lots and lots of things that I just adore about her!

All these baby moments are so priceless!
