Daddy can't wait to come home from work to see both his girls, and his girls are happy to see him. Emma loves play time with her Daddy, and on this particular night Daddy had the video camera in hand. Here's a clip of a night at the Behrend's.

Emma's 1 month birthday

I still can't believe how quickly time goes by these days. We celebrated Emma's 1 month birthday on July 13th. I made cupcakes for the occassion and after dinner Daddy got the video camera so that we could share the fun with our family and friends. Rest assured Mommy and Daddy have eaten all of the yummy funfetti cupcakes. Emma has a 11 more months and then she can have as many cupcakes as her heart desires.

Happy 4th of July

We had a great day hanging out with family and friends. Our adventure began with Jamie, Jill, and John at Kim and Kurt's house. There were so many new people that we were able to meet, and Emma even made a few new friends. Thanks Jill and Jamie for extending the invitation. After spending time at the Mae's house we headed to Aunt Jill and Uncle Jame's house. We spent the evening hanging out and playing games. It's always fun spending time at our home away from home. Bailey and Brock were so excited to see their cousin, and it was so fun for us to see them all interact. Bailey even let us know when Emma had a poopy diaper. When Uncle Ben suggested that she change it Bailey let him know that she was too little.

Daddy Time

Emma loves spending time with Dad...and he's amazing. As soon as he gets home from work until we go to sleep he's helping out. He gave her her first bottle the other night and we're now aternating between breastfeeding and bottles. And just before bed its belly time. Isn't she strong!

Our First Visit to Dr. Campbell

Whoa...it's amazing how time flys when you're new parents. Emma Reese met Dr. Campbell for the first of many visits. Dad took the day off so that he could go with us, and thank goodness because getting her in and out of the backseat of the Blazer is quite a challenge. Dr. Campbell is very nice; we're so happy that Aunt Carol recommended her. She was pleased with Emma's weight gain and said that she could feed on demand, which means that Mommy and Daddy get to sleep through the night until she wakes up. Our next visit is August 21.
