5 weeks

This week has been GREAT!! I started walking, by myself, and with friends Yay!! We went to this beautiful park here in Texas and they have a walking path that is 2 miles, Go me! And it's not just a strait path there is some serious hills, pushing a stroller with baby in it up a hill is harder than you think after 4 weeks of birth! It was so nice though to get out and chat with friends. After are walk Emma and I had to go strait home, poor baby was sweating and not too happy about it. On Saturday our church had Super Saturday which is an afternoon full of crafts, good company and yummy treats! I made a super cute Nativity (see below) Always nice to have time to make crafts and talk with great people! Also Saturday our church had our Steak Fry! The church buys everyone Steak or Chicken and people bring there BBQers and we cook them up and the rest of the ward brings sides and deserts! It was so fun, last year we had just moved in so we didn't know anyone so this year was alot more fun, and of course we got to show off our little Emma =]

LOVE IT!

This was before our walk, It's chilly in the am.

Well Miss Emma is now 5 weeks old. Where does the time go! She is getting so big and strong. Her neck muscles are getting really good. Her legs are super strong we can hold her up and she will stand for like 5-8 seconds! She is eating super well now which means happy baby, happy mommy!! She eats about every 3-4 hours. This past week she has had 2 nights were she has slept 7 hours strait at night!!! THANK YOU!!! She has been sleeping in her "my little Sheep swing" well girl friend is almost to long for it now! So I started this morning putting her in her cradle so she will get use to it. I hope it wont take long.

On Saturday night we gave her a bath and after her bath we saw.....

CURLY HAIR!!! Oh how i hope this curly hair stays! Curly hair runs in my family so we are pretty excited!! And it's a tad bit reddish =] I was born with red hair! Fingers crossed!! She LOVES being outside. I sit on out patio with her everyday with her and she just looks around. She is starting to get a few little coos in, which is super cute!! We made it to church on Sunday and she slept the whole time, even when i changed her diaper.

Sunday Best

She still just does not like tummy time, So i thought i should try the boppy...she loves it!

She WAS awake for awhile before i finally took a picture.

p.s. As of today 9/24/12 Emma is 9 pounds 5 ounces and 21 inches 

Emma's blessing date is November 4th  ( if anyone was wondering) You are more than welcome to come!!

Have a GREAT WEEK!!!!
