November 14, 2006
It is hard to believe my little Emmalyne Lillian is 7 weeks old now. She has gained 3 pounds since birth. She was born September 27, 2006 and weighed in at 7lbs 13 ozs and was 20 and half inches long. She is now 22 inches and 10lbs 10 ozs and loves her attention. She has a new name for me.. it is Whaaa. That is what she says when she sees me and decides she needs picked up. She can fake cry and it is funny to watch her little mind working. She is beautiful, sweet, a bit spoiled, so very loved and perfect in every way.

We were a bit worried that Tara (the dog) would be a bit jealous of the baby since Tara has been my baby for 7 years now, but she loves Emma. She does get a bit pouty when we are rocking the baby in the rocking chair which was always Tara and my cuddle chair. She doesn't get aggressive at all with Emma though, doesn't try to take toys from her or get too upset at her crying. She does sneak in a "kiss" whenever she thinks we aren't watching though. Kevin nicknamed her "licker" cuz that is what she does every time she gets a chance. He tells Emma "oh here comes licker"
Emma doesn't like it if Tara licks her in the face, I don't blame her, I don't like that either. She almost giggles though if Tara licks her ears. Cocoa the cat is a whole different story though. She grumps around here like a grumpy old man or woman. She growls and hisses the whole time the baby is here. She never did like kids and really doesn't like something that takes precedence over her. She keeps away from Emma and hides in the bedroom.

Cassie is totally in love with Emma. She says when her friends tell her how often they see her and with her being 60 miles away and not seeing her as often, it makes her so jealous. I keep telling her she needs to move back to town here and open a beauty shop here but she wouldn't make the money she does there so I understand how that wouldn't work.
