Two v.s. Four

Today Emery is 4 weeks old. There are some MAJOR differences between 2 and 4 weeks. The first 2 weeks Emery was home were pretty consistent. A lot of sleeping, and eating. The crying was a clear sign of hunger or a dirty diaper. But now, ahh things are different. The crying could be many things. hunger, dirty diaper, tired, gas, pacifier fell out, want to be held....well you get the picture.

So we try different things. The rocking chair, the swing, the vibrating chair, even the mummers strut. (for all you non-Philly people this is a dance/walk from the mummers parade in Philly) This was discovered by Dave's dad who turned to it in a panic when Emery wouldn't stop crying. It was successful. The rocking chair works, so I've been spending a lot of time in it, this would explain the fact that I started The Office season one last week and am now almost finished with season 2. Not to much else you can do in a rocking chair. Her crying isn't always because she's upset, a lot of the time she just wants attention. At her 3/4AM feeding she sometimes is wide awake and just wants to hang out. If you put her in her bassinet she gets pissed. It's a very simple, I'm not ready to go back to sleep right now.

Other then learning new ways of calming her, we're doing really great. She's getting big, it's so strange. People keep saying ohhh she's so small but she's more then a pound heavier then when she was born. Her eyes are changing color too. They are a light brownish color now. We're thinking they are going to be hazel. This morning we went on our first walk, we walked for about a 1/2 hour. i really needed it. It's good to exercise a little. My goal is to walk every morning then feed her and take her to my mom's so I can work. Emery is going to Nana's next week for 2 half days. We'll see how it goes. We are starting slow.
