One Month Old




Well I can't believe she has been with us for over a month now.

Emery is such a sweet baby and we love her so much.
I am still trying to adjust to having 2 kids but it isn't nearly as hard as I thought it would be.

At her 2 week appt she weighed 7 lbs 6 oz 50%, 20 1/4 inches 75%, Head 36.4 cm 75%
She was great and has been gaining weight like crazy! She loves to eat and eats a lot!
She has been sleeping really well at night and even in her own bed!

We have had a lot of visitors this month. My mom was here when she was born and stayed for just over a week. Then Eric's mom, Shenna, came for a week as well. It was so amazing having both of them here! Not only so they could get to meet Emery and spend time with her but for Maddix, he loved having them here. He still asks for Nana and Oma almost everyday!
Thank you to both of them for all the help and sacrifices they made to came and help!

Papa, Aunt Coley, and Uncle Jackson also came from out of town to visit too!

9 days after Emery was born her cousin, Zander, decided he couldn't wait any longer and came 3 weeks early! We are so excited that they will be so close!


She spits up a lot and also projectile vomits a lot. Yesterday we went to the dr to get it checked out. They decided that she needed to get an ultrasound done on her stomach to see what was going on. The doctors thought she may have pyloric stenosis (narrowing of the pylorus, opening from stomach to small intestine) which was causing her to throw up. Luckily she doesn't have this, they think she probably has acid reflux, so now we are on a medication to help with this. At her appt yesterday she weighed 9 lbs 6 oz. She is getting so chubby!

She goes from content to starving in a matter of seconds.
She looks exactly like Maddix as a baby.
She has 2 stork bites, one on her forehead and the other above her lip.

She already has her dad and mom wrapped around her little finger.

Emery loves:
To be swaddled. If she's not eating then she wants to be swaddled and asleep.
She likes her binky. Doesn't like to sleep with it at night but during the day she likes it.
Loves to be held! I love love holding her, she is so sweet and loves to cuddle.
Loves it when she is talked to.
Her daddy, brother, and mommy.

Emery hates:
To be put down for too long. If she is not eating or asleep she would rather be held!
Hates her hair bows, they always end up over her eyes.

those hairbows are pretty tricky! Moms with little girls used to use honey or corn syrup to keep bows on their girls head...I wonder what would work for the headband bows?...they are soooo cute!
