On our own...

Grandma Keidel left yesterday and we are all sad! Emily was particularly fussy... Thankfully she will be returning in a month to help us while we finish our residencies this spring. Both Grandmas have an amazing touch with the baby. I feel very lucky to have such wonderful help.

Emily and I are hanging out at home this morning while Aaron is at work. She has a new interest-The City on MTV. Ok, I don't think she really appreciates the intricate story line but she does like the shapes and sound.

More to come-Emily has a 1 month pediatrician visit next week!

Merry Christmas!

Ho, Ho, Ho!

Greetings from Milwaukee. Everyone is doing well and an 8lb ham is in the oven. We wish we could be with you all this holiday but look forward to seeing you soon. Take a look at: http://picasaweb.google.com/amw1675/Holidays2008# to see a few pictures from this morning.

Take care and god bless! -Aaron, Ann, Lora and Emily

First Bath at Home

Emily had her first bath at home the other night. She fussed a bit through most of the bath but did really well overall. Here she is in her bath robe in a fleeting moment of calmness :)

Emily's First Big Snow Day

Today, Sno-Pacolypse 2008 officially hit! They are projecting 8-12 inches total by the end of the day with lots of blowing wind and snow. Yipee! Here are a few pics from this morning:

Thank goodness we have a garage!

Emily the Elf

2 week pediatrician visit

Emily is doing quite well with weight gain- she is now 7lb, 1.5 ounces. That is up quite a bit from her birth weight already! While her jaundice persists, it is mild and not harmful to her at this point. She may continue to be a bit yellow for several weeks. Her personality is coming through now. She likes to be cuddled and rocked and eat very frequently. Emily is a wonderful baby! Our next pediatrician visit is in 2 weeks. Stay tuned....
