2 months

Today my baby is two months old! It's weird, most people might say, " It seems like just yesterday I brought her home from the hospital." I don't know if something is wrong with me, but I can't remember life without Emma! I can't believe she is ONLY 2 months old! And it's not that she is a hard baby either, she is the BEST BABY. Really, maybe it's just cause Jonah had (has) so many health problems but Emma is such a calm, happy child. I could have ten children if they were all as easy as this! Lets just hope it doesn't change. ;)

I definitely think the lord knew I needed an easy baby. Our life has been pretty crazy with new jobs, moving, Jonah's problems, and having a colicky newborn might have just threw me over the edge. Emma is changing so much every day! She started smiling around five weeks old, and hasn't stopped since! She loves sitting on our laps while we coo and aww at each other.

At first, Emma hated her car seat! I dreaded every time I had to strap her in, because she would scream for about five minutes straight until she eventually fell asleep.

Now, she loves it! Almost every time I set her in, she looks up at me with the biggest grin. Then she will coo and make little noises while we drive. It's really cute.

Her hair is still long in the back and sort of falling out in the front. I can't tell if she is turning blonde or red! Whenever I take a picture of her using the flash, her hair turns out so red looking. It will be interesting to see what it looks like in a year.

She loves it when her big brother comes over, kneels by her face and says "It's okay Emma." or "Izamo memma" . .She smiles until he starts pinching her cheeks.

Emma looks a lot like Jonah yet sometimes, I don't know who she resembles! She is almost able to roll over! I can't remember at what point babies roll over but she is almost there! It's a little scary to me!

I can take Emma anywhere. Zach and I take her on all our dates, and she usually just sleeps the whole time. I forgot how easy new babies are! I remember thinking what a pain it was to take Jonah anywhere when he was a newborn. After having a two year old, I see it so differently now.

Emma sleeps pretty well too. She sometimes will sleep for six hours straight which is pretty incredible to me! Because of her reflux, she sleeps in either her swing, car seat, or in bed with me. She also takes a pacifier now, which Jonah never did.

I haven't taken her to her two month check up yet, but I think she is around 12 pounds. She still fits into her newborn clothes, though they are getting pretty small.

Emma has been such a joy to have in our family. We love watching her grow and change each day. We can't wait till she and Jonah can play and fight with each other... or really just until she is big enough that I don't have to worry about Jonah smashing her or something.
