Emmelyn turns 2-months-old!

Emmelyn will be 9-weeks-old on Tuesday, and that means her 2-month doctor's appointment is right around the corner. We're anxious to see how much she has grown. She seemed to outgrow her size newborn clothes overnight at about the 7-week mark. She is now comfortably fitting into size 3-month clothing and getting to check out that part of her wardrobe. I am glad she's got a closet full of clothes --somedays, she goes through several outfits and so she puts everything to use. I have friends who say their babies outgrew some outfits before they could wear them. Not our Emmelyn! She must really like clothes --that must be why she spits up so much, so she can make sure to try on all of her outfits. :-)

We thought we finally had our day/night mix-up situation under control, but she threw us a curveball and stayed up until 4 a.m. again last night. That means we're all not not getting rolling until 1 p.m. today. We're hopeful to keep her up for most of the afternoon and perhaps we can get her to be sleeping at night again. She was sleeping from midnight until 6 a.m. for a couple days, which was awesome. We're also working on getting her adjusted to a little more formula in preparation for my return to work. We switched to something that is supposed to be easier on her tummy, but we're still waiting to see if it will do the trick.

Em got to see Grandma Sue and Grandpa Jerry a second time when they squeezed in a side trip to Salt Lake at the end of September when they traveled to Denver on business. As always, Em was super spoiled and did not like that Grandma was not there to hold her all day when Grandma left! Now it is back to her lamb swing and bouncy chair for a some of the day when mom needs to cook or get the laundry done.

Salt Lake City is beautiful at this time of year, and Emmelyn has been getting out for walks everyday. I've slowly worked my way up to walking 3 miles every day or every other day --getting back to exercising like I used to after a c-section has been more painful than I expected. Santa plans to bring Em a jogging stroller for Christmas, so that should help keep me on track next spring! She'll be big enough to start in it next February/March, so if it's nice weather, perhaps we'll be going for some short runs by then.

We also took Em on the Alpine Loop to look at the leaves. She went for a short hike in the Baby Bjorn at the Alpine Summit.

Emmelyn gets to meet Grandpa Rob and Grandma Wendy in a couple weeks. After that, she'll meet some more family when we return to Moorhead for her baptism at the end of November. She'll be baptized with her cousin Tessa, so it is sure to be a special day.

I'll try to keep the photos of Emmelyn coming!
