Emma's Second Month

Emma gave us her first smile on November 21! Daddy came home from work early that day and Emma was very happy to see him. Since then, she smiles all the time. She really focuses on people when they talk to her, and started cooing back at us right before we left for Indiana for the holidays. Now she practically carries on a conversation! She loves looking at lights and shadows, and now turns her head to scan a room or listen to different people in a group. She can hold her head up for a short time while on her tummy. Our favorite thing to watch is when she talks to her bears in her bassinet mobile. For a few weeks now, she will wake up in the morning, grinning from ear to ear, and talk to the bears over her head. It is the cutest thing I have ever seen! She saw her Pediatrician last on November 27 and her weight was 10 lb. 9 3/4 oz. and her length 22 in. We can tell she has grown a lot since then, and can't wait to find out when we see Dr. Meyer next!
