My Girls

Emma Lea Ruth will be 4 weeks old on Tuesday. Time is going by so quickly, I can't believe that it has already been 4 weeks since she joined our family.

Madison is such a great big sister. She loves knowing where Emma is, and wants to be touching her when they are close together. We do have to watch her because she also wants to put her fingers in Emma's mouth or up her nose, which Emma is not too fond of.

Here are my girls:


I can hear the phone calls home from school already for Miss Madison. I can see her being the class clown for sure. She is always trying to be the center of attention, and loves being silly.

She is really good about entertaining herself. She loves playing with her toys, and really likes the huge stuffed bunnies that Emma and I received for Easter.

It is a rare occasion when I can get her to stay still long enough to pose for a picture these days. She is always on the move, and is interested in anything electronic, including the camera.

But when I got her to pose, she posed, and I got some great pictures of her. I am thinking that some of these need to find a place on our wall. :)





I thought Madi had outgrown the bouncy chairs she used as a baby. However, she now uses them more now than she ever did before. She will bring her books, baby dolls and blankets to the chair, crawl into it herself, and "read" to her dolls. She also enjoys rocking in the chair to get it to bounce.






I got tired of having to lock and unlock the cabinets in our kitchen, so I rearranged the cabinets this week. Madi decided to help.


Emma is changing every day. She loves to cuddle and to be held close. She sleeps very well at night, which makes my life so much easier. I have been working every other day since she was two weeks old, so it is very nice to only get up once or twice a night already.

I was finally able to get some decent pictures of her awake this week, so at last I have some new pictures to share of our little Emma Lea.



Some pictures of her sure look like Madison at that age, but others look as distinctly unique as are our two girls. I am curious to see how they each will change as they grow.

Emma gives lots of smile-like looks. I'm sure they are just gas, but it is nice to pretend she is smiling at us already. Here is a half smile I caught on camera.


Well I better get to bed. Madi will be up bright and early wanting to play, and I need to get some rest before then. Hope you enjoy the pictures!
