Our Emily Mae is 11 days old today and growing fast already! She had her first Well-Baby check-up yesterday and she now weighs 7 lbs 3.5 oz, (compared to the 6 lbs 4 oz that she was when we left the hospital)! And has grown one inch! She did great at the doctor's office and in the car seat after some initial complaining.
On Monday Emily had her first bath and did great at first. She enjoyed looking out the window and was so calm when we washed her hair and face. Then we got to washing her body and she proceeded to poop! The second time around she did better! Last night we did bath number two and she did much better and seemed to enjoy it!
She had a visit from her great-grandpa Paul on Wednesday and Thursday and was happy during the day but then had a very fussy, evening. Daddy seems to have the best touch at calming her down because Mommy still gets a bit frazzled when she gets so upset! We are still learning to balance watching the clock and also paying attention to her cues as far as when it is time to eat again!
Nana Ellen and Grandpa Lee left today and we are sad to have them go because their help has been amazing. All their help with the meals, cleaning, running errands, and even helping Emily sleep have been so great. But we are also excited for Emily to meet some new friends this week as we start to be able to take visitors (call first!).
Oh, what a little doll! Congratulations again!
