I hope you come visit us at our new, easier to post, home!

Meghan and Emma

I just love Earl in this picture. He looks like he thinks he’s in trouble. He has been in trouble lately. He has learned that when I’m breast feeding Emma, there’s not much I can do to him if he acts up. So far, just today, he has eaten almost all the bows on the Christmas presents I just wrapped. He has turned on the stereo, by standing on top of it. (He apparently liked to listen to very loud static.) He has eaten pieces of the tree. He also keeps trying to stand on the baby. He tries to get between Emma and me when I’m feeding her. I can’t wait until she big enough to pull his tail!

Emma is growing quite big. She has outgrown her first set of clothes. She has outgrown her socks. The main problem is that she has outgrown her swaddling blankets. She really likes being swaddled, so we had to find a new solution…and here it is. She is swaddled in a large fleece blanket that I gave to Marc in college. It’s about 5 ft by 5ft. And believe it or not, this is starting to be too small to reach around her. I just think it’s so funny that it’s such a dismal color. She looks like a little baby saved by the red cross. Like she was just pulled out of a hurricane or fire. We bought a new blanket for her. It’s bigger than we thought. Stay tuned for that pic.

I wanted to take this picture at Halloween time, but I kept forgetting. Here is Emma and her bear Harold in matching outfits. I think it’s great that she’s the same size as Harold now. I also like that I can prop her sitting up between the couch cushions.

We went to the Christmas parade the other day. It was lots of fun. It was my first time seeing a parade while it was snowing. Emma hated the fire trucks. She thought they were too loud. She slept through seeing Santa. She tends to sleep through most of our activities. And of course I forgot to bring the camera to the parade. But here she is afterwards, all tuckered out:
