The typical Emma day

Here is a sampling of what goes on now during a day with Emma when daddy is home.

-Awake and active by 7:15 to 7:30.

-Mommy gets up and showers while daddy changes Emma and gets her clothes on.

-Help daddy cook breakfast for family. Plays on floor and goes through cabinets.

-Eats breakfast with family. She is liking pancakes and oatmeal a lot.

-If it is nice out, we go for a walk.

-She has her first nap around 9:30 to 10:00 which is nice for daddy if he was up at night at work.

-Sleep for about an hour to hour and a half.

-Get lunch.

-Play around or help daddy with projects.

-Second nap is around 2:30 to 4:00 and lasts around an hour or so.

-After second nap we may go for a walk and visit with neighbors or start getting dinner ready.

-We eat dinner together and have found that we can put Emma's food lined up so she can point to different things that she wants. She is eating very well all of a sudden.

-We play until bath time at 7:00pm.

-After her bath, she has naked time and plays and reads her books while we clean the house and kitchen.

-She is in bed by 8:00pm with mommy.

-Mommy can then slip away and finish her business while she sleeps.

Emma is still sleeping only 3-4 hours at a time at night before she wants to nurse but such is our lot. She will eat just about anything now. She had chicken the other night and did not mind the texture this time. She has eaten ground beef as well but that is about it for meat. She does love her vegetables though.

We have a doctor appointment coming up in about 10 days so we'll let everyone know the weight and length when we find out.

She is also standing on her own for about 5 seconds. She does it when she is standing leaning on something and we get her to clap with us. It's like she forgets she wants to hold on to something.
