Nighttime Routine

Scott and I have a nighttime routine that we try to follow to help Emma fall into a more regular eating and sleeping schedule. Well, a schedule isn't developing as we had hoped, but we are successful in lulling her to sleep. All she needs is a full tummy, a bath, lotion, warm jammies, and her pacifer. On this night she fell asleep before we could pick her up to cuddle.

Favorite Toy

Emma can't help but smile when her "Twisty Bug" rattle is around. She adores the various sounds and flashing lights. They are best buds! We highly recommend this toy for the sheer joy it brings Emma and the sheer joy it brings us to watch her coo and smile.

Funny Girl

Emma loves to laugh and coo when her mommy and daddy sing silly songs or make goofy faces. Play time is so much fun with our funny girl!

Three Months Old



Emma turned three months old yesterday. That’s ¼ of a year! Here are some precious photos of her from the past few weeks. While some of them have been posted in previous blog entries, we've sprinkled in a few new ones.

Safety Town Tour


We all took a walk to Carden Park near our house and toured “Safety Town” this week. We’re sure this will become one of our favorite family spots in the coming years when Emma is coordinated enough to ride her bike on the little tike roads. There is a Normal fire station adjacent to the park that allows tours, too. Emma will just love it!

Rip Van Winkle

Emma slept for 6 hours straight one night last week! Yes, you read correctly, SIX hours! It had been 8 hours since she had last eaten, so this was a huge stretch for her and for us! Too bad I kept waking up every so often anticipating her need to feed.
