B is for Busy!

This parenting thing sure is exhausting! At any given moment there is laundry to be dealt with, a floor to be vacuumed, baby to be fed, changed, bathed, cuddled, snuggled, rocked, soothed. . . Plus there's the whole thing that parents should eat and shower too - oh, and that zoo of ours seems to think they should get at least a little attention and food. Phew! Are you tired?? I know we are!

That being said, Emma is absolutely divine and we are loving every crazy minute! The tiny little newborn we brought home a few short weeks ago has grown TWO inches and gained almost TWO pounds since her birth. Holy cow!! She's also awake more of the day in a 'quiet alert' mode (as opposed to the scream til they do something different mode), which has been a lot of fun! Those wide eyes just look around and soak up the world. And even though she's a little young for social smiles, I swear she's smiled at me on more than one occassion!

So here are some pictures from the past several weeks of Emma's busy life!

Looking very serious!
Jedi Emma!

One month old! 3 weeks old!
She keeps us laughing!
