Emmi is growing like a weed!





You may have noticed that many of the pictures I have posted are of Emmi sleeping because that is typically when she is content. Every evening she has a very unhappy, crying spell that usually lasts a few hours. The dr. says she has colic and that there is not much we can do other than make sure all her needs are met; feeding, changing, etc... and that eventually she will grow out of it. It is tough watching your baby cry uncontrollably and have no way of really soothing her. This has been going on for almost 4 weeks and I can already tell you that I CAN'T WAIT for it to be over!

I took Emmi to the dr. today since she was so fussy the past few days, just to make sure she didn't have an ear infection or anything else wrong beyond her usual colic. Turns out she is perfectly healthy. She now weighs 10 lbs. and is 21 1/2 inches long. My little girl is growing up so fast already! The dr. says she looks great!

She has started cooing and smiling this past week. Kenny finally caught a smile with the camera tonight that I just had to share! It is good to know that even if she is fussy at times, she is content at other times!
