Emily Update

Emily is almost 8 weeks old already and she's doing smashing. She's starting to smile (as you can see) and she's healthy and happy. Last time Emily was weighed she was 12 pounds 8 ounces, which puts her well above the 91st percentile for girls her age. She doesn't get that from me. Her sleeping is a little erratic but generally she's only up once in the night. To be honest, I usually sleep through, since I'm a heavy sleeper and I have a lovely wife who doesn't like to wake me. I'm very lucky. Emily (and Becky) has more or less gotten the hang of breast feeding now too, though it hasn't been without it's traumas (for Becky). It's not an easy thing to master, especially for new mothers. She's also proving to be good natured. She rarely cries though she does like a little scream now and again if she's being ignored. Just like her mum. Anyway, it's obviously still very early days but things are going well so far, and both of us are enjoying being parents very much.
