My baby is beyond cute

The smile at the end is the best part...

Squeaks, happy sounds and feet

"Talking"

The smile that gets me every time

The grand finale - she's an expert

Emma, 3 months old

Emma smiles very often and is starting to laugh on occasion which is probably my favorite sound on the planet.
She has now rolled over from tummy to back about a half dozen times.
Her neck control is great if she's not tired.
She continues to sleep through the night and now sleeps 8-11 hours a night (straight).
She still enjoys diaper changes and will let us know when she wants to be changed.
She's less into her binky than she used to be but likes it when she's sleepy.
She enjoys looking at faces and trying to talk (her "talking" sounds are adorable).
She pretty much continues to be as adorable as ever (except when she cries - she doesn't do the bottom-lip-pushed-out sad face much).
Emma is 24 inches in height although I'm not sure of her weight - probably 11-12 pounds. We'll find out weight at her next check-up which is in May.


Cutest hat ever.






That brow




Funny face

Emma is 2 months old!

In honor of this, Emma's 2-month birthday, I took 250+ photos of her on my digital camera (and narrowed it down to 25 photos - you're welcome). I set my camera on Sports mode so that I could catch the action - she can be pretty wiggly, and baby smiles are hard to catch! She was very good for most of the two photo shoots.

As a note, she is wearing a disposable diaper in the pictures she's wearing pink, and a cloth diaper in the pictures she's wearing blue; usually she's in cloth.

Lately, Emma has made it pretty clear that she LOVES to be outside in the sunshine which we have had a good amount of the last week (Seattle area isn't always overcast).
She's smiling a fair amount each day- sometimes randomly into space, sometimes at the butterfly on her  bouncer, sometimes at people.
Occasionally she watches us talk to her and tries to imitate the way our mouths move and she'll "coo" and squeak to try to talk or sometimes try to join in singing.
She's starting to do sad faces with a pushed out bottom lip which is adorable and makes me laugh. She's started swinging/jerking her arms now, often when she's trying to talk or is otherwise focused.
She's good at kicking a blanket off of her legs.
She's an excellent sleeper at night - she'll sleep for 7-9 hours straight, which is greatly appreciated. During the day she's usually all about power naps which makes getting things done tricky.
She loves food as much as ever - which is a lot.
And still likes her binky; although, notice that I managed to take pictures of her without it! She was in a good mood and I was very silly in keeping her amused.

UPDATE: She weighed in at 9 lbs 14 oz and 23 inches long at her 2-month check-up. She's long and lean.

Love this sweet baby. =)

First - some silly photos.



Vroom, vroom?






Now for the not-so-silly photos.
