Updates

Sorry it has taken me a while to get more updates of the girls.. Been busy and keep forgetting to upload the pictures on the computer.
Updates on Emmersen:
Matt and I got lucky again with a GREAT baby! She hardly cries, sleeps all the time and when she is awake she is so content and watches everything around her. Her night time schedule has been pretty consistant for a week and a half now: 8-8:30 PM bedtime, 2:30-3:30 AM feeding time(I am usually waking her up to feed or I hear her moving around a bit) 8:30-9:00 wakes up and feeds (then usually goes back down for a couple hours). As you can see, she is a great sleeper :-) She is now starting to wear newborn sized clothes (no more preemie clothes)! So now more options of clothes to wear ;-)
Things she likes:
~ Her soothie (AKA- paci)
~ LOVES cuddling people
~ Likes to be swaddled at night
~ Her swing
~ Likes stroller rides
~ Doesn't mind her baths
~ Kisses from big sis

Things she doesn't like:
~ To be naked! (which is why at times she doesn't like her bath)
~ Sometimes doesn't like getting dressed
~ Laying on her back after she has eaten

I can't believe she is almost a month!! (On Tuesday the 26th) She is such a blessing to our family and we are so lucky to have TWO beautiful, healthy girls.

Updates on Avree:
Avree has been going to PDO for a month and a half now. We think she really enjoys herself. We still have some mornings when she doesn't want to stay but she stops crying/whining pretty quick. She is talking all the time but we sometimes have a hard time understanding some sentences/words.
Avree has been a GREAT big sister. She is always very gently and cautious around Emmersen. Always giving her kisses and rubbing her head or back. There has been a couple times after Matt gets home and Avree and I run some quick errands so I just leave Emmersen at home with Matt, and she always asks "where's baby" when we get in and out of the car. She then asks to go home so she can see the baby. :-) She still just calls her baby.. we think Emmersen is a long, hard name for her to say.

We are making our first family trip this weekend! Going to Pella for a couple days. Hopefully the drive will be uneventful :-)
Well that's all for now! Happy Halloween!
