What she's doing now

Emma has started doing two new things. She sucks in her upper lip with her tongue, makiing this loud "smack" sound. And when I was videotaping her doing this on Monday night - well, trying to get it on tape - she was following me with her eyes and head. First time she'd done that, I was pretty excited I caught it on tape. I didn't get the lip smacking on tape until later that night. About 12:30 AM, laying on the changing table, happy as can be and sooo not tired! What time did we go to bed? Oh, about 1:45! And last night? 3AM!! Tonight's better though, she fell asleep in her swing at 9:30. Woo hoo!

Back to the eye movement. Of course, I sounded like a moron saying something like "Emma! You followed me! That's so cool!" As I later watch what we tape, I realize how stupid I sound most of the time. And Michael too. Neither of us can escape it - the baby talk, high pitch voices, and just generally stupid comments. Of course I don't feel stupid when I'm saying it, just when I play it back. Oh well, I guess she'll know her parents were major dorks when she gets older. :)

On to the pictures.

I sat Emma up on the couch Tuesday and got these super cute pictures:




And then took some more cute pictures while she was on her playmat.





Obviously, I think she's cute.

She's adorable! This is the first time I've ever thought she looked like either one of you, but she really looks like Michael. Not that I know what he looks like in real life, only photos you've posted, but WOW. Those eyes. Don't feel bad though, Jenna looked just like Jeff when she was an infant. Now she looks like my twin!
