2 Week Checkup

Today Emory had her two week doctor's visit and everything went great. She now weighs 7 lbs. 9 oz. (20th percentile), is 20.5 inches long (50%), and her head is 14.75 around (75%). Doctor was very happy. Emory cried for the cold stethoscope and again for the heel prick (of course).

Here's dad and Emmy before getting weighed...
And here is mom and baby afterwards...

Our Angry Little Elf

Grant wanted to take some picture of Emory with Christmas things, as you can see Emory wasn't exactly happy with the idea. Things started out well and then not so much.

Thank you Steve & Carol for my "Elf in Training" onesie!

When Emory gets angry (which rarely happens) we have figured out a few things that help make her happy. Like her bouncy seat....


The pacifier which just started to work....

And our favorite, the dryer.

I love this picture of Emory after her last bath.

Why the wrinkled forehead???

Happy One Week Birthday!!!

She also went to the pediatrician for the first time this week and is now back at her birth weight of 7 pounds and 4 ounces.



We are so excited with how well Emory is doing and seeing how much she has changed. We celebrated her one week birthday with Grant reading her one of Chelle's favorite books, "Pat the Bunny."

Hospital Pictures

We just got some professional pictures in that were taken at Baylor.

Enjoy!

Bath Time

Emory had her first bath at home today. Hopefully this video works out...

Coming Home

Yesterday (Saturday), Emory decided she had been at the hospital long enough and we headed home. She slept the whole car ride home and seems to be enjoying the house so far. Before leaving, a photographer came by and took some great pictures.

Chelle & Emory right before leaving:

First time in the car!

Grandpa Zimmerman refinished a bassinet that they used for both Chelle and Ryan when they were babies. We were amazed at how great it looks, he did such a great job!

Emory also got to meet our wonderful friends Donald & Angela tonight!
