Emerson's Big Week

Last week was a busy week for us. On Sunday, we celebrated Emerson's Dedication at church. Both kids did really well (no crying this time because both kids we fed BEFORE their part in the service). She was very content to watch Pastor Jim and all the lights and Landon didn't cause too much of a distraction! I just love that our kids will be part of such a loving, supportive church family. It always makes me teary-eyed to think of the whole congregation standing up to say they will support us as we raise our children and teach them about God!

Then on Thursday, Emerson had her 4 month appointment at the doctor. That was the craziest day ever. I had to be to school early to get my flu shot and among all of the morning ruckus, I left the diaper bag at home so Todd had to run to our house so the kids could have clothes for the day! :) Then, as I leave directly after school, I remember that Emerson will be getting shots and she hadn't had any Tylenol and we didn't have time to get any before the appointment. So, poor baby got her shots without any medicine. She also got freaked out by the crinkly paper on the table at the doctor's office and screamed anytime we had to lay her on it! :) But besides all those set backs, she is growing fine. She weighs 13.8 lbs (50th %) and is 26 in. (80th %). So she's right on track with Landon being tall and skinny!

And I know this post is about Emerson, but I do have to mention that Landon is (sorta) taking steps. He'll walk a few steps in between Matt and I. It's more like falling to us, but it's a start! :) He's also learned to clap and he, of course, loves to do this while he's supposed to be eating, so a little mess becomes a bigger mess!

What a blessing of two beautiful children.
