It's been a few days since I last posted, and a few things of note have occured. First of all, my parents came for a visit and got to enjoy their granddaughter for a couple of days. She kept them both laughing the whole time with her smiles, sounds, and wiggles. My mom brought Emma some linked, colorful rings, and we got to watch as she became quite adept at gripping them. They are her new favorite toy. Grandma also bought the Peach a mobile for her crib, pictured above. The one I picked out is by a company called Tiny Love and has gotten great reviews from other parents. It was fun to watch her transfixed the first time we turned it on. She kicked her legs with excitement! I hope it will keep her entertained until we have to take it down b/c she can grab at it. The very top photo is from Emma's perspective -- I set the camera down beside her head so we could see what she sees. The mobile runs for 15 minutes at a time, playing tunes by Mozart, Bach and Beethoven. I also got Em a simpler mobile for her crib at daycare -- she'll get to experience that one for the first time tomorrow. Yesterday we discovered yet another adorable thing our little girl does. If you blow on her face in just the right spot, she sticks her tongue out! It's hilarious. A friend tipped me off about how I might be able to post video on the blog, so when I get it figured out I'll show all of you.
Jon had Em here at home with him today while I went to work. He did the first feeding with her at 10:30 a.m. and he said she gulped the entire bottle down in no more than 10 minutes without taking a break to burp, and that when she was done she cried...probably wanting more. Okay, so that broke my heart. It's terrible to think she didn't get enough! He said she got over it quickly enough, though, and then took a 2 1/2 hour nap -- right up to her next feeding which I came home for. Around 5, right before I got home, I guess Emma got upset b/c she was hungry. Daddy soothed her by massaging her face. Yup...she's a girl after my own heart. There's nothing like having your head and face played with! She's so precious.

I love the pictures. What a cutie! I can tell going back to work has been tough. Stay open to answers and options - God sometimes answers even when it seems impossible. I got some great advice once - focus on being grateful for what you have while also being on lookout for ways God is bringing the changes you desire. I think you're doing that. You're a sweet mommy :-). I feel like I've been with you on the journey.
