This little girl is getting so big. I know she probably doesn't look big to all of you, but after only 5 days, she passed her birth weight. We brought her home weighing only 5Lbs. 3 ounces, and 5 days later she was 5Lbs. 10 ounces. The doctor was really surprised. I took her back 5 days later and she was 6Lbs. 8 ounces. That's been about a week and half, so she's gotta be in the seven pounds. Anyway she's doing great, and a much better sleeper than Maddox. I love my little boy to death, but he cried constantly, always wanting me to bounce him, but Emmerson doesn't really make a peep. She wakes up every three hours to eat then she's back to sleep. I got really lucky with her. Anyway life's back to normal, or getting there. We're back in Rock Springs now, and Matt goes back to work tomorrow. I really loved having him home so long. Anyway excitment winding down and Christmas is coming. Happy Holidays!

She is absolutely adorable!! I love your new family picture, too.

Your kids sound like mine: the first cried all the time and never slept, the second never made a peep and slept through the night at 6 weeks. I thought something might be wrong with her. haha
