Waiting for Emma to wake up..
Well, I am waiting Emma to wake up. Every few minutes or so I hear her thrash around. But then it is back to wee little snores. She is wearing her monkey pajamas, which are about as cute as anything.
Emma is growing and so am I. What a big learning curve. It's a good thing babies start out pretty simple. Even the simple needs, like eating, were tough to learn. But now she needs new things, like she wants to be outside every day, she wants to interact with people, and wants to look at things. Soon she will want to be using her hands, but not quite yet. So what I am having to learn this week is that she wants to spend time doing those things plus she still needs to nap, maybe more than before, and I have to help her transition between all the parts of her day. At the same time, she seems to be becoming more sensitive to noise, and we have a lot of that here. The dogs are of course a huge source of noise with the kennel right outside the bedroom window. Not so bad at night when they sleep, but Emma has naps all throughout the day and the dogs are often playing or alerting to things going on around them. Wee little Tartlet has got the corner on the market for astounding and random sounds.
New photos soon. I think I will point the cell phone posts to this blog, from the barkingbrook blog.

My new rig
THANK YOU BEN AND CHIARA for my new jogger-stroller!
This is my super new rig. I am finally old enough for it and Mommy made me a supporting blanket deal. I loved being able to sit up a bit, with my head stabilized. Mommy went a little nutz in the warmth department, but it was fun. We went for a longer walk and had a great morning.

Sycha and Emma (6weeks)
Sycha met me and Emma at DHMC for my 6 week midwife check up. Emma had a weight check her her pediatricians in the morning, so she wore her special outfit from Auntie Lidia for the occasion.
6 weeks and all the fun we can have
Emma likes her "SleepyWrap" and enjoys a daily walk in either the wrap or the teutonia carriage. She thinks the Barking Brook slogan needs to change to "Burn your TV walk your Baby and your Dog". I'll consider it...
Would you believe Blanche, the lovely white gal, is 15 years old?
Now that Emma is a little stronger, she can go front-ways in the wrap for a little while in the house. I have to be careful and not jostle her too much, and the straps help her keep her head balanced. She likes to see all the little things I do all day to keep the house tidy and the paperwork going. OK...she thinks paperwork is a bore...she prefers to mix up brownies and wander around with me to put laundry away.
Emma loves Daddy snuggle time.
Look at her... just as sweet and adorable as can be.
