Milestones

Seems as though Emme has grown up SO much since my last post! I can't believe how big she is getting, and how much fun she is. I will be the first to admit that we had a VERY challenging first 8 weeks or so! Poor Em had a lot of digestive issues, and so there was a lot of crying involved for Mommy and Baby! It is like the fog has started to lift and Ben and I are enjoying our Little Bit so very much. Every day it feels like she is learning something new and showing us more and more of her smiles, coos, and happy heart. She is sleeping through the night (most nights!) and wake time is becoming play time! Naps are even getting more consistent with each day that goes by. I want to encourage all new moms out there that Motherhood just keeps getting better and better. You never know what challenges may be headed your way when you step into this new role, but there is grace for every day--- and the milestones that are ahead of you make the first few weeks so completely worth it. Here is just a sample of the precious time I've been enjoying with Emme lately! I can't wait to see what is next!
