And in this corner...

We have Emily Lynn Harrison weighing in at 12 pounds 11 ounces and measuring 24 inches.  Wow!  That's one healthy baby : )

I'm 2 months old!!!

Emily is officially 2months old and today was her 2 month check up.  She's doing great!  She is in the 90th percentile for weight and the 95th percentile for length.  Yikes!  She's going to take after her dad I guess.  She is so alert these days and is providing Patrick and I with hours of entertainment.  Today was a milestone that I will not forget.  The doctor put her on the table to do a physical examination.  She laid Emily on her tummy and Emily immediately picked her head up and, wait for it, ROLLED OVER!  It was pretty exciting.  Apparently she has done it one other time as well, but only Patrick saw it.  The doctor said that she is acting more like a 4 month old!  She also received 4 shots at this visit which neither Emily, Patrick or myself were very happy about.

Since I wrote last, Emily has also started sleeping much better.  She's been sleeping for 11-12 hours only waking up once to eat.  This new sleeping pattern has made for a much happier mom and dad : ).

Getting ready for bed with mom!

Over the past few weeks we have been staying busy meeting new friends and enjoying this amazingly uncharacteristic weather.  Emily's new friends include Charlotte, Harper and Griffin.  She also got to meet aunt Theresa and cousin Michelle.  And with Michelle expecting her own bundle of joy this summer, Emily and I are excited to meet another new friend in July!  Emily also finally got to meet uncle Austin and take her first walk outside in the stroller!

Coming up, we have a full, exciting weekend of birthday plans for myself and we are going to take baby's first roadtrip next weekend to visit aunt Karen and uncle Marcus in Chicago.  Only a few more weeks of leave left and I find myself feeling more and more attached to Emily each day.  Going back to work is going to be very hard!!

We're looking forward to the next couple of weeks of "firsts" and will try to do better with updating the blog in a more timely fashion.

More to come!
