One month old and NYE

Miss Emily turned one month old last week!

I can't decide if I want her to hurry up and get bigger so we can start playing and interacting more, or if I want her to stay tiny forever.

We took some pictures of her with a her Ugly Doll and with her sister Sydney so we can compare her size in relation to both each month. Here are my favorite shots.

Love those funny faces!

For New Years, Katie and Tyler came to town. We left Miss Em with her grandparents and went to dinner with the Scarbroughs and Leslie and Paul. I was nervous to leave Emily for the first time, but by all accounts it went well and she got to have some bonding time with her Grandma and Grandpa, who love her very much. 

After dinner we picked her up and headed back to our house to watch the ball drop. Didn't the New Years Eve broadcast used to be a good show, with popular artists performing? Last night's show was awful.

Emily slept from when we picked her up until after 1 a.m.. I couldn't help but think of all those wasted hours where we could have been sleeping too!


2012 was an amazing year for our little family. I got a much needed new job, we bought our dream home, and we welcomed the most perfect angel ever created. It almost seems as if life can't get much better! We are looking forward to everything 2013 has to offer!
