I'm freezing the baby!
On our way out, we stopped in this upscale designer kid's clothing store and Courtney found Emma a coat. I would have said NO WAY, but it was 75% off, and those that know me know I'm a sucker for a deal. So here's Emma's feminine, expensive, designer coat. . .the only one she'll ever have as long as I'm paying for it . . .unless we find another for less than $15.. ... ha!
and her reaction when I told her it was coming out of her allowance.
Emma recently has started enjoying the tub. Here's our wet, well fed baby . . . . We had our final midwife appointment today and Emma is now 12 lbs 9 oz. Holy Cow!!
Here's a couple more pics from yesterday's photo session!
and I expect to see this face a lot during her teenage years!!

Head cold, but feeling good!
Emma and I were lucky to catch Brian's head cold. Actually, not really. I've felt awful for the past several days, and even though Emma can't complain as much as I do, she's definitely made us very aware that she isn't feeling great.
I believe that today we reached a turning point. I feel almost human and Emma has returned to her smiling self. She has returned to giving out her smiles for free. . .and smiled at all of my customers today. She really likes interacting with everyone she sees, and gets really mad if I don't turn her chair around so she can flirt with anyone that will give her attention.
Emma is now sleeping for 5 hour stretches at night. Everyone involved is ecstatic to get more sleep! and I've stopped waking her up making sure she's alive. . . ha!
Why I love these dogs
Truman saw me do this and thought he'd take advantage of the super comfy addition to the couch. He hasn't moved for hours. That's my big goof!!
Later, Truman got up, and Tucker took advantage of the new "throne".

How are the dogs adapting?
I don't know. . . . . what do you think?
and I think Truman is having the hardest time adjusting. . . . . .

Another day and a whole lot bigger!
We had a major breakthrough today. While getting her bath, I sat her in the baby tub with her legs and bum partially submerged. She looked up at me and started kicking her legs in the water and smiled and squeaked with joy. The best part about it, she didn't cry during the entire bath. Not even when I washed her hair, which usually is sure to set her off. Since I was on my own, I couldn't get pictures, but I think she's going to be a water baby after all.
Truman and Emma have figured one another out. Apparently Emma screaming at the top of her lungs means, "Truman bring me a toy!" This morning I put Emma in her swing so I could eat my breakfast. After about 5 minutes she was done and let the entire neighborhood know. Truman hopped up off the couch and ran to his toy box. He pulled out his favorite duck, ran over to the swing, and dropped the duck in her lap. It was absolutely hilarious!
