2 months and 4 days later...

...and she is still doing wonderful. Smiling more, sleeping longer at night, and being a happy little baby. We did have our 2 month doctor's appt today. Here are the stats:
10 pounds and 3 ounces
23 inches long
She received 5 vaccinations (4 individual shots=OUCH!!!)

The doctor noted she is very alert and seems to be doing great. We are heading down to the beach for a long weekend and so Jessica can attend the annual Rotary Conference at Sandestin. It will be Emma's first beach trip although she probably won't remember.

We got to see lots of family over the last 2 weekends and look forward to seeing everyone else very soon. Work is back in full swing for me and Jessica is doing good while she prepares to return mid-May. Lots going on right now and I will try and list it all out when I get time.

The Emma update - 6 weeks!

This week's posting is light on pictures and heavier on the content.
As with any newborn, the nicknames come out spontaneously and seem to evolve over time. Here are a few:
Sweet Pea
Pickle or Peanut (Depending on Emma's mood)
Squeak
Little Emma
Sweetie Pie
Em Girl
Schnookie
Babydoll
Sour Grapes
Doodlebug

Also, with any newborn comes the things you try as a parent to calm the new baby. Here are a few:

Holding Emma in my lap while messing with a potato chip bag (noise she likes) and her staring at the ceiling fan
She loves high contrast things to look at (dark frames against white wall, windows, etc.)
Driving her around the block in her carseat at 3am
Sitting in my car with music on at 3am as to not wake Mommy
Lots and lots of bouncing
