Emeline at 5 weeks

My Dad just left after helping me with the kiddos for a week! He had an incredible calming effect over Emme. She would just sleep with him for hours. It was great. And every morning from around 9-11 he would take Zackary down to the beach and they would explore which is his favorite thing to do. Today they walked back and forth to the waters edge and collected shells and then sorted them out on the wall by the parking lot. He loved his time with Jedo (Grandpa). Thanks for your help Dad.

Emeline is a very easy going baby. Between 7-9 PM she gets a little fussy but usually it's gas related and once it's out she is so much happier. She eats around every 2.5-3 hours now. She's a good eater and I can tell is gaining weight not to mention her belly is big! She loves her bouncer chair (sleeps there at night) and her swing we have in Zackary's room. My Dad also figured out that she loves sleeping on the couch on her back, and obviously her Dad's chest! And she has such a strong suck reflex that the pacifier has become her best friend when she's not nursing. She takes a lot of naps during the day and at night has one last feeding between 8-9 and then sleeps until anywhere between 1-4am...then she nurses again around 6am. So we are getting some decent sleep at night which is sweet!!! She has the baby acne on her face-she's trying to be like her mom in her teenage years! We are having so much fun spending time with her. Her disposition is so sweet and funny...she smiles a lot at us, tracks us and loves her brother. She grunts a lot and talks while sleeping and eating! We love you little"apricot" as Zackary calls you!

  1. I love the memories Zackary will have with Grandpa. So sweet of your dad to spend so much time with him. And also sweet Emme.
