Emilee is such a sweetie. She just turned 7 weeks on Friday. I can't believe she's almost 2 months old. It makes me feel like I if I close my eyes it's going to go by in a flash and I'm going to miss everything.
She is already growing and changing. She weighs over 9 lbs now and has grown 3 1/2 inches since birth! She has been really interested in faces lately. She likes to stare at me and she'll even give me a sweet little smile sometimes. She'll go from concentrated, furrowed brow look on her face to a big, wide-eyed, crooked little smile. It is by far the sweetest little thing I've ever seen!!! Sometimes when she's looking at me I can tell she's looking at my hair. I guess she likes my fluffy bed-head. :) The best is when she stares at her Daddy's face and gives him smiles! I love when she starts to stare at him across the room, just waiting for him to come look at her and talk to her. I think she misses him when he's at work! :) Ryan gets the whole week off for Thanksgiving and we are so HAPPY about that!
Emilee has a lot of different sounds. She is a GASSY little baby. She's always making us giggle with her farty-butt, and sometimes we just look at each other with surprised looks wondering how THAT sound came out of THAT sweet little body. Bahahaha! She also has a lot of different cries. She gets PISSED if I set her down unexpectedly or when I take off her diaper just before her bath. She sometimes does a big, loud cry and then it turns to "the silent cry". She turns all red and I wonder for a second if she'll ever take her next breath or if her angry silent cry will last FOREVER! She also has a really quiet, sweet cry. (That's my favorite, for obvious reasons.) :) She has an urgent cry. She has a "my tummy hurts and I'm miserable" cry. She also has a cute little whiny cry that she makes when she's eating and she loses it and can't find it for a second, or when I take her away to burp her. She's starting to make a lot of cooing and squawking sounds. I love it.
She sleeps a lot but has a cranky time in the evenings. She loves to be held and snuggled. Her hair sticks up all cute after her bath. She snores and makes funny snorting sounds. She loves to lay on her tummy lately. She's got the softest skin EVER! She has a little outie belly button right now. She already likes to watch TV and look at the computer screen - SIGH!
I love watching her grow but I'm sad it's going by so fast. Last night Emilee & I went to bed earlier than Ryan, and I just stared at her little face for a while before I turned off the lamp. I prayed and thanked God for her. I'm so thankful for her. I asked God to protect her from harm, lyme's disease, cancer... boys. :-/ I prayed that she would grow up knowing Him in a deep, personal way, and that she'd make good choices easily. Thank you Lord for my sweet girl!!!!!! :)
