1 Month

Emily is one month as of October 24th!  Hooray for our Little Tink!  She is still so petite, but growing LOTS.  Nelson and I think it happens right before our eyes, so we don't want to blink.  We are excited for the milestones Emily has made, but cherish each present moment as we know she will grow up too fast.

Some of Emily's one month milestones and special moments include:

1) Showing her deep blue eye color - just like her dad's
2) Losing the dark hair from birth to light brown with highlights of blond and red
3) Sustaining eye contact for a few moments
4) Smiling and laughing in her sleep (she hasn't yet done it in response to stimuli yet, but soon!)
5) Wiggling her month excitedly when her binkie is inserted
6)  Finding her thumb for comfort (we quickly replace it with the binkie)
7) Holding onto her binkie with her hand
8)  Playing with her mouth - sticking her tongue out and "ooing"
9)  Dolled everyone at church "with all that hair"
10) Nicknamed Little Tink, Little One, and Little Angel

Aunt Stephanie and Uncle Jared stopped by last Sunday for a visit.  It was so fun to see them.  Emily really liked to being together with them.  We wish they lived closer so they could visit more often.
