It is hard to believe but our precious Emma is already 6 weeks old. She has changed so much already. She is holding her head up even better than before, she is starting to really smile, giggle and coo, her hair is getting longer and thicker, she loves to lay in her bath hammock and to soak in the warm water and throws a fit when we take her out because she wasn't through relaxing, and she has grown so much. I have found out that she will sit in her swing now and watch Zack and Cody on Disney. She even smiled at Lilly today when she kissed her. At her one month checkup she weighed 8pds 5 oz and was 21 and 1/2 inches long but we had to make a trip to the doctor last week and she was up to 8-12. We are having to start changing clothes out in her closet. Most of the newborn things are starting to get too short. We have had to make a couple of visits to the doctor over the last 2 weeks. The doctor first thought Emma had reflux and then thought it was the stomach bug going around but it has turned out after a test that she is allergic to the formula. She is lactose intolerant to regular formula as well as soy. We are now having to use a special formula and so far it isn't sitting too well on her tummy either. I will be returning back to work the week of Jan. 5th. I am fortunate enough to only have to go back part time and will only be working 2 and 1/2 days a week. We are still searching for childcare for Emma but we are hoping to speak with a lady next week about keeping her. We are looking forward to Christmas. This will be our first Christmas as a family and we cannot wait to celebrate. We hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and New Years and safe traveling.
