So some of you probably noticed I had posted a venting blog about Emma Cate's sleeping challenges...and then deleted it a few hours later! I realized it was probably way too much info and really was just therapy for me to get it all out. I realize she is only 5 weeks old and she will eventually be able to nap during the day by herself for longer than 30 minutes (she's sleeping several hours at a time at night thankfully!). There are times though that I want to throw the Babywise book out the window and just let her sleep in her swing for every nap! We are going to keep trying though :)
Here are a few recent pictures of her smiling. She smiles a lot bigger, but I have to put the camera down for her to see my face and smile back at me and then by the time I pull the camera up to take the picture, the smile isn't quite as big...still working on that!
When my mom was here last weekend, she wanted to see her in a bonnet...Emma Cate didn't like that at all! Maybe when she is a little older!
Daddy had both our babies in his lap while he watched basketball on Sunday afternoon!
Jake is loving his little sister :) He does get a little jealous though that she gets held all the time...so he just tries to get in our laps too! Yesterday I was letting Emma Cate fuss a little in her crib while she was trying to go down for her nap. I was listening to her fussing on the monitor when I heard an unusual cry. I went to her room to check on it since it didn't sound like her normal cry and I found Jake in her room sitting in front of her crib on the floor looking up at the crib whining! He hates for her to cry! It was almost like he was trying to get my attention to let me know she was unhappy!
