It's sleepy over here!

As a mom and fan of my little one no matter what I thought I'd let everyone know that my baby is the bestest baby in the world! I hope you're sitting down... she's sleeping almost 10 hours at night now! Daddy and I can hardly believe it and wake up often to make sure she's still breathing. Well, mommy does, daddy likes to sleep. :) Her schedule for the last 2 nights includes a bottle with rice at 10:45, a tight swaddle in her SwaddleMe and sleepy time until 8:30 am!!!!! Wow what a difference a little sleep makes to a working mom and a really crazy busy life!


Wanna know what's even more fun than baby smiles? Baby laughing. Oh man does that send waves of "I can't possible love her more" feelings all through me. She started laughing about a week ago and I do everything I can to make her laugh now. Cooper does a great job to get her going. She sees him and lets out a giggle, it's sooooo dang cute. He loves her to pieces too, they make such a great pair. I try and try to get good pictures of them together but one of them usually doesn't like to cooperate. As you can see, someone is sleeping in this one...


Emma is the light of our life and we are so in love with her smiles, coos and just downright cuteness. She's learning every day and never ceases to amaze us with her personality, alertness (is that a word???) and ability to make our hearts melt. She's making strides all the time and growing so big. I'm sure she's well over 12 lbs now but I don't dare get on the scale for fear I'll never want to put on a bathing suit.


I took this video of Emma this morning holding a teething ring - what a doll! I'm getting better at this video thing, but unfortunately I took it sideways and I have no clue how to flip it. Next time I'll be sure not to flip the camera!



Emma loves her daddy. Every night they watch TV together (I know, bad habit). He gets her all snug in arms and before long she falls fast aleep. So cute!



Did I mention she likes to sleep? I just love this picture. Not only is she just darling, but she's wearing my favorite sweater. I hate that it has to go in a box soon...


We went to Fredericksburg this past weekend to celebrate Grammys and cousin Katie's birthdays. The girls loved on Emma...

Here's her sleeping again... Sheesh!

Granddaddy got to love on her too...

Now this next picture deserves a posting in itself but since I am so bad at posting these days I have th throw it in where I can. If it were it's own posting I'd call it "Grandpa went to Bike Week and I got this awesome t-shirt!"

Grandpa and Grandma Doerr (aka Grandpa and Grandma Harley - since grandpa drives one) went to Bike Week in Daytona this year. On their way back they stopped to visit. Emma got some presents. Here's her doting the onesie grandpa picked out for her. If you can't make it out it says "My Grandpa rides a Hawee". She likes it.... mommy loves it!


Well, I need to work now, although I would love to be out back enjoying the weather (75 and sunny!). Love to all!!!
