A-goo

Ah yes, we have now arrived at that time when the traits that develop into a personality begin to show in a baby. Emily is growing up more every day, and she is beginning to connect with us in ways that are more and more specail. Her stares are turning into gazes, her confusion into excitement, and her cries into smiles and the familiar sounds of an infant discovering their vocal cords. A-goo!

Our little baby girl visited Dr. Lentsch last Saturday for her 2-month checkup. She was a trooper with the shots, and only a few tears snuck their way out. With some tender comforting from Jackson she was as good as new in no time at all. On the sleeping scene, Emily is still a dream of a child. Last night she went to bed at 10pm and didn't wake up until almost 7am! Since she is in the 90+ percentile of height and weight for her age, we know she is getting the nutrients she needs, so the doctor says to count our blessing (and our sheep) and let her sleep as much as she can overnight.

In other family news, I just had my 30th birthday and our good friend Mike Sieger and I will be meeting up with some friends for an embarassing night of karaoke tomorrow night. I am still torn between "This is it" by Kenny Loggins and "Sailing" by Christopher Cross. Maybe I'll just sing both?
