our day...

We went to a place called Tunnel Voyage. We went to the park but it was way too windy for Emmy. So this is where we ended up. Bella had a lot of fun going down the slide, playing in the balls, going down the slide and going down the slide!

Emmy just hung out with Me-ma except to eat. There was alot for her to look at. Her eyes were all over the place. She is a very inquisitive little girl just like her sister was.

I had to throw this picture in because when she makes this face, the sound that comes out is absolutely adorable. It is very pitiful; both the look and the sound. I wish you could hear it. Maybe I can get it recorded one day.

OK.....this is a huge thing! Her sucking on this me-mo (pacifier) is great. Bella always sucked on those ugly green Soothie one's you get from the hospital. She never would take another pacifier. So I was determined to get Emmy to suck on one of these. The first few weeks she only sucked on the Soothie pacifier and it annoyed me because they don't stay in the mouth very well. Last week I decided to try this pacifier and low and behold, she took it! It took her a little while to want it but now she takes it!! Shirley, I get to use those straps now!! They work great! Yea!!

Daddy and his girls...

I went into Bella's room to put her to bed and this is what I found. One of the sweetest things in a mother's life. Proud daddy and happy kids. It melted my heart.
Emmy is 6 weeks now and really starting to smile and coo back at you when you talk to her. We had her wellness check up today and so that meant shots. It wasn't very fun but she did good. She weighs 11 lbs. which is in the 50th percentile. She has way passed her big sister. Bella has always been in the 10th or below and so this is a big difference for me. I am able to put things on her that Bella never got to wear because it got too warm out. She is a big bundle of joy! We are starting to get a routine going and starting to get the hang of having 2 kids. What an adjustment it has been!!

On Saturday we took Bella's crib out of her room. We had her big girl bed and the crib both in ther room and she always wanted to sleep in her "old bed". So we finally made the decision to take it out because in her little mind she had an option and she always chose the crib. She has been doing alright but now she knows she can get out of bed and play. Today I had to go in there about 8 times to lay her back down. She finally fell asleep and slept for almost 3 hours. What a big girl!!

Feet???

Isabella:

"Patty cake, patty cake baker's man. Bake me a cake as fast as you can. Roll it, pat it, mark it with FEET, put it in the oven for Emmy and me."

"This little piggy went to the market, this little piggy stayed home, this little piggy had roast FEET, this little piggy had none....and this little piggy said wee wee wee, all the way home!"

The Nadeau house the last 4 weeks!
