Weekend Happenings

Emily had a big weekend!  On Saturday she met her Great Aunt Barbara and her cousin Myles!  Of course Emily had to dress for the occasion...

Every lady needs a little black dress for a special Saturday!  :)  Don't let the ruffles and ribbons fool you, though, because she is one tough cookie!  She loves to show off her strength by lifting her head and pulling herself up, even though she's not yet even 12 weeks old!

On Saturday night she slept from 10 pm until after 6 am.... an 8+ hour stretch and her new sleep record!

On Sunday, Daddy painted Emily's new bookshelf and hung a picture ledge in her nursery.  Now we can decorate her room with all the wonderful little mementos she's gotten from loved ones!

Last night she did an encore sleep performance and slept from 10:20 pm until 6:10 am!  She must have been tuckered out from all the weekend excitement.  :)

Sleeping Beauty!

Guess who slept through the night for the first time last night????  This girl!...

Emily slept for over 7.5 consecutive hours last night, from 10:51 pm until 6:32 am!  When she woke up we changed and fed her, and then within 20 minutes of waking from that loooooong slumber she fell back to sleep for another 2 hrs and 48 minutes!  We were both shocked!  I bet she had some pretty great dreams because when she woke up she was sooooooo happy...

It must have been the awesome panda pajamas!  Or maybe it was the Prevacid finally kicking in and calming her reflux.  Or maybe it was a fluke...

I have heard that as babies approach the 14 pound mark that they can start sleeping longer stretches because they don't need to eat as frequently.  Only time will tell!  The little sleeping beauty is snoozing away now.... let's see how long she sleeps tonight!  {I hope I didn't just jinx myself...}
