Today we visited the doctor for Emery's weight check. She had lost a lot of weight after birth, but she has since gained it all back and more. In the last week she has gained a pound and she now weighs in at 9 lbs 9 ounces. I told the doctor that she takes after her mom in that she can gain weight quickly! :-)
Emery had her first bath yesterday! I thought I had gotten her all clean until after the bath I realized that I hadn't cleaned the folds of her neck very well. I love her cute little rolls in her neck!
Andy and I were talking today about what food or drink item is most consumed by the public and we agreed that it had to be milk. Addy is proof that we love milk, as she took Dad on in the "Gallon Challenge" and won! Way to go Addy! And what is milk without a little Oreo cookie!
This year our family is starting some new traditions. One of them is the "Gratitude Box"--an idea that was inspired by an article written in this months Ensign about a family who made a thankful box and filled it with things they were grateful for starting on Thanksgiving. They opened the box on Christmas Day and read all the things they were grateful for. It has been a wonderful tradition so far! We are excited to open it up on Christmas and enjoy the gift of gratitude and reflect on the blessings we have received. What are some of your family's traditions? Please share!!
But the 11th went by (so did 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, and 21).
Where, oh where was baby?She just didn’t want to come!
Everyone impatiently waited through 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, and 28.
But baby had other plans. She said “You’ll just have to wait!”
UNTIL
November 29th at midnight (12:15 to be exactly right)
That’s when baby shouted “My living quarters are getting a bit tight!”
Only three hours later (almost out of thin air),
Arrived our sweet baby, our darling Emery Claire.

Addy learned how to walk about two weeks before Emery was born. She is busy here helping at the hospital. She is so cute with Emery. She walks around pointing at Emery saying "Baby, baby!" She also enjoys patting Emery on her head.
