Blogging from Bed

Yep! Because there is now an app so I can do it from my phone! We are now in Georgia :) and getting school work done is a million times easier with a mom willing to take over baby at night. Emmy is doing GREAT! Sleeps pretty good at nights and is growing like a worm. She is now 11 weeks and 3 days old. At 10 weeks she had her 2 month appt. Shots and all. She hated them! They shined the light in her eyes and I guess she decided it was too bright because she immediately started crying. Doc said that was the first time she had ever had that happen! Emmy is 10 lbs 8 oz and 23 in. Later in the week she started to get really fussy, spit up constantly, broke out all over her chin, and bad diarrhea. After a couple days (thinking maybe it was just a fluke because she has been on the same formula for a month) I finally called the doc. Next day they called and said she seems to have milk protein soy intolerance. She is now on alimentum which is a hypoallergenic formula. It is so gross but she eats it like it tastes delicious! Immediately all of her problems went away and she was a happy baby. Good news though- I did some research and this usually only lasts the first year. When I was a baby I couldn't have milk, only soy, but now I can! So no worries there. She is now holding her head up by herself, trying to pull herself up, and loves if you let her stand! And she doesn't care to be laying down, unless she has her mobile on in her crib! I have lots of pics.. but since I'm doing this from my phone I don't know how many I can do! Here ya go!

Playing Catch up

I'm obviously not doing so great at this whole blogging thing. Emmy is  now 8 weeks old.. it is going by so (TO) fast!
The last few weeks have been so busy.

I started school. Yes, school. I am taking a full load of classes and doing the best I can at keeping up with all of the work.

The weekend before I started school it was sooo pretty outside. It was so warm and the sun was shining so we decided to go to the park so we could just be outside! Luckily I had a blanket in the back of my car so we laid it out and relaxed!

Emmy got blessed!

It was such a pretty day. The dress she has on was made by my grandma DD and my friend's sister made the bow! I loved them! Emmy was a doll the whole day. She slept through the blessing (thank goodness) then was awake for the whole party! I'm pretty sure she was soaking up all of the attention.

She is so loved!


My grandparents, DD and JJ, came out for the weekend, too!


We had so much fun. (I don't know how I forgot to get a picture of Emmy with DD.)

One of the days was pretty cold so we decided to do some sight seeing from the car in Yellowstone. One of the other days, the girls all went shopping while the guys went up to the ranch!

Then after this fun-filled weekend and Emmy's blessing, we finished moving out of our apartment at the Village that we had been in for a whole YEAR. Record for us.

Oh, have I mentioned Emmy is starting to be a big girl? (kinda.)
Well she now smiles. And HUGE! However, she is super sly and only seems to do it when I don't have a camera handy. Luckily Logan caught it on the first day she started smiling while she was awake.
She is also getting better at neck control!
At 6 1/2 weeks:


At 8 weeks:


Emmy went on her first plane ride:

And was such a good girl! She slept THE ENTIRE TIME! That night, however, she was definitely having tummy issues.

So we are now in GEORGIA!! WHOOO!! The weather is sooo nice. And it is nice to be able to completely focus on my school work at night and get to play with Emmy during the day.

When Aunt Lindsey was suppose to be changing Emmy's diaper, instead she took this super cute picture (I'm not mad at her!):
Ever since we got here Emmy has been getting spoiled rotten. She now has a nice crib with a super fun mobile that she just loves to stare at, TONS of clothes from everyone (Mimi :), Aunt Lindsey, and Aunt Teetah), and mommy and daddy FINALLY got to get her this awesome swing that she just loves:
She is CONSTANTLY getting loved on by someone. She will never have to worry about not getting any attention! :)
