New Hair Cut

Here is my new hair cut. Kay came over and helped us take some pictures to show everyone. Poor Lance wrote his first blog on Sunday about how much he liked my new hair cut, but I made him take it off because I wasn't quite feeln' it yet!
Now that I am use to it and it is so fast to do, I am loving it.
Yep, That dark hair at the bottom is my natural color, but don't tell anyone ;)

Emery's Blessing

Lance blessed Emery today and everything went perfect. Emery was good the entire time. During the blessing she was awake and quiet. She just looked at Lance while he blessed her. My mom made Emery's blessing dress. It was the same pattern that she made for me when I was blessed. I love how it turned out and Emery looked so beautiful in it.
Here we are in front of our 100 year old church house after the blessing.
This is a picture of Lance making Emery smile. She loves looking at him and thinks he is so funny. Emery and I have that in common.
This is Emery looking at Lance again. I love how she is looking at him. I feel so blessed to have the best husband ever and the best baby ever!

Two Months Old

Emery is now two months old. I can’t believe how fast it has gone having her around. She is so much fun and I am so blessed to have such a wonderful baby!

Emery went to her two month well child check today. She is very healthy so far and is doing great. She is currently 12 lbs 6 oz (84%) and 24 inches (95%). She is growing so fast and has been such a fun baby. She is smiling more and more and is nice enough to let her mom and dad sleep for about 6 hours straight at night. (Knock on wood!!!)

Emery had to get some immunizations today at her check up. That is such a sad thing for a parent to have to watch. Emery was smiling at the nurse right before the shots. Then that happy face quickly changed to a huge frown along with crying and tears. Emery seemed okay shortly after the doctor and fell asleep for quite a while. The doctor warned me that she might be fussy and may need some Tylenol. I didn’t think much of it until she woke up from her nap screaming. She has never cried like that before and when I picked her up I could tell that it just made it worse. Thanks to Jamie, coworker who gave me a wonderful baby shower gift, I had some Tylenol drops handy. Emery is now back to smiling, at least until she needs more of the Heaven sent Tylenol.

Swimsuit Model

Emery got this adorable swimsuit from our neighbor, Becky. I had to try it on her even though it is raining outside. I have always loved the sun and water so I am hoping to pass that along to Emery. She is starting too really like her baths and she loves her new swimsuit. Next test will be the pool, if it ever gets warm enough!

Mother's Day

Happy Mother’s Day! Here is a picture of Emery’s Grandma Powell, Aunt Liesel, myself, and Emery on Mother’s Day. We all went to my Mom and Dad’s ward. It was Emery’s first time to church and she loved being held by everyone.

Here is a picture of Emery in the dress she wore on Mother’s Day. She looks so adorable in it!

It was my first Mother's Day as a Mom and it was great! Lance and Emery were so good to me. I got to sleep all night as Lance took care of Emery! I am so glad to be a mom and I am loving every minute of it!

Update on Emery

Emery had a doctor's appointment on May 1, 2008. She was 10 lbs 3 oz and 22 1/2 inches long, which means that she is tall and heavy for her age! She is a healthy, happy baby.

Emery started to smile back at us last week! We haven’t been able to catch it on camera but once we do it will be posted! She has also learned that she has a voice and likes to use it!

While Emery was sleeping today, she got this huge grin on her face and she started to laugh. It was so cute and it made my day!
