2 Months

Dear Emma,
Where has the time gone? Today we celebrate the fact that you are two months old. You would think that Daddy and I would get use to little girls growing up so fast to our surprise your sister will be 7 and 1/2 this week. You have made many growths in this last month. We left the NICU just a month ago with our little peanut who weighed in at 6 pounds 14 ounces and we were lucky if we could get you to take 50 mls every 3 hours. As of this week you weigh in at 8 pounds and will take as much as 90 mls every 2-3 hours. You have also taken a big notice to your surroundings. You love to stare at the many pictures on the walls. Nothing beats your love for ceiling fans though. You will sit and smile and laugh at them whenever you get a chance. Thankfully they are in every room of the house and the grandparents both have them as well. On the talk of smiling you are starting to smile more and more each day. You melt our hearts when you smile at us and we can see that little dimple that you and your sister both have. You also have started making baby sounds more often and we love to have conversations with you. While you have all your cute moments, the last few days you have shown us that you have to have a complete meltdown at some point between 6 and 7:30. It is pretty much like clockwork that we can expect it to start. You are still sleeping 4-5 hour stretches at night and REFUSE to sleep throughout the day. You are definitely a Daddy's Girl and will quit crying the moment he picks you up or takes you from someone.
We think back about 2 months ago and how our lives changed so drastically and can't believe how far you have come. You have proven to us that you are a fighter and you are going to be everything people say you can be and more. You continue to bring Daddy and I closer each day and we love the way you round out our family. We not only celebrate you being 2 months old this week, but we celebrate Wednesday the fact that you were discharged from the NICU 1 month ago.
May God continue to bless you and our family Emma. Mommy and Daddy thank you for all you have done to make our lives better and all that you will continue to do that will make our lives better. God blessed us with you as our baby for a reason and each day we see that reason a little more.
WE LOVE YOU TO THE MOON AND BACK - FOREVER AND EVER,
LOVE,
Daddy and Mommy
