--The Dalli: Month 1 Review

Highlights of Emma at 1 month:

Giving lots of smiles
Got to wear her hat (still too big, but super cute)
Doing tummy time - tough, but gives it her best shot
Getting better at looking at her black and white cards
Loves to be swaddled, most especially by her daddy
Started to make cute sounds/sing
At 6 weeks she was sleeping 4-6 hours/night
Makes lots of visits up to daddy at the library or math offie

Feb 12, 8:30 a.m. Smiling after a yummy morning breakfast

Feb 12, 12:30 p.m. All bundled up to walk up to campus and visit Daddy

Snoozing on the job...but glad to be in the BYU library with Daddy

Feb 13, 1:30 p.m. Emma has started to like to be held on our shoulders

Feb 14, 10:00 a.m. Emma getting rocked and cuddled by Dallas - he is
so good at rocking her to sleep. When I try to rock her, she always wants
to nurse. Dallas has the magic touch, he wraps her up and rocks her
and she goes to sleep no problem.

Feb 14, 5:30 p.m. For Valentine's we took Emma
rollerblading. She slept through it.

Feb 15, 8:00 p.m. Tummy time is not my favorite thing.
I often forget to make it happen. Dallas always
remembers though and he is good about hanging out
with Emma so she doesn't have to be all by her lonesome.

Feb 20, 6:00 p.m. Emma spends much time in her bouncer. I think
she likes it because she can see me while I do other stuff. One of her
favorite places to sit is on the table so she can have an even better
view of what I'm doing AND look out the window.

Feb 23, 7:30 p.m. Dallas helping Emma with her black and white cards.
Someone gave us these cards and instructed us to show them to Emma.
She really enjoys looking at them and following them with her eyes.

Feb 24, 3:30 p.m. The process of bundling Emma up to go outside

Just because this picture is so cute...I posted it again full-size :)

Feb 24, 5:00 p.m. Dallas helping Emma practice her cards

Feb 25, 10:00 a.m. Emma has started singing and making cute sounds!
She doesn't sound happy in this clip...but she did before I started taking it!

Feb 25, 11:00 a.m. I just love holding, cuddling, and looking at
our sweet Emma.My mom and everyone jokes that I never lay her
down and the only difference between now and two months ago is
that Emma is still attached to me, just now she's on the outside.

Feb 26, 12:00 p.m. Emma laughs and smiles all the time!
Even during diaper changes! She is such a happy baby. :)

Feb 27, 11:30 a.m. Emma being super cute. So happy...and then within
minutes, she was sound asleep! Emma often falls asleep about 1.5
hours after waking up and then can make it about 2 hours
before she's ready for another nap.

Feb 27, 4:30 p.m. I love this little outfit and bow of Emma's! She is
such a beautiful,happy baby. I feel I have to capture every moment!

March 1, 5:45 p.m. Emma is pretty petite. Newborn outfits are all
she wears. Having heard that babies grow so fast they hardly
need newborn clothes, I was seriously lacking. This is a little
dress I bought for Emma to wear to church...still too big for her!

March 3, 5:00 p.m. Here is Dallas cleaning out Emma's nose.
He is really good at it and Emma is a pretty good sport.

March 3, 5:30 p.m. Emma loves when Dallas comes home.
I love the way they are looking at each other in this picture.

Just some Emma Dallas time :)

March 4, 9:00 a.m. Emma is super excited for a new day!

March 4, 2:00 p.m. BYU has some great bathrooms that have
entire rooms devoted to nursing mothers. Here are Emma and I
hanging out in the Math building mother's lounge.
She was being so happy and cute we had to document.
