Six sweet weeks

Today Emma is 6 weeks old! I just cannot even believe it has been that long. She is changing every single day and we are having so much fun watching her change and seeing how her personality is developing. She is sweet like her daddy and stubborn like her momma! :) She talks to us by cooing, she grunts and only cries when she is hungry, and she is especially dramatic when her daddy is around. If she isn't being held, she loves to be propped up in her boppy. She does NOT like her swing or bouncer yet but we try it every few days to see if she might change her mind. I remind you, she is stubborn. She's a messy eater and after many grueling tests, we have learned that her lack of pooping may just be normal for her. I never knew going days and days without pooping for a newborn could be normal but they don't seem to find anything wrong after her colonoscopy and abdominal xray. The barium swallow did show reflux which we are treating with medicine twice a day. She misses her MeMe and Pops and loves for her Grandma and Grandpa to sing to her. She eats about 3 ounces every 3 hours except during the night, she wakes up every 4 to 5 hours to eat, which is a blessing. Bella is getting attached to her and is quiet protective of her. Emma holds her head up for 30-40 seconds and looks around...yes, at 6 weeks. She pushes with her legs while on her back and can

scoot a lot of places and scoot out of her carseat if she isn't buckled in. Did I mention she is stubborn and if she wants out, she gets herself out?? LOL! She IS her mother's daughter I say! She has smiled once at her daddy but hasn't anymore and we are waiting to get that big, gummy smile. We are having a blast with her and just can't seem to get enough of her! Everything she does is precious and every day she does something new. We love you, Emma Grace!
