Four Weeks Old

 

Emery Kayt...You are FOUR weeks old today! That means you are almost one month old....which is so hard to believe. What have you been up to this past week?

To be honest, the past couple of weeks have been a little tough. For about ten days you screamed. You were clearly angry, upset, and didn't feel good. Your Mommy and Daddy (who are very new at this!) tried to make you feel better, but we finally assumed you had colic. Nana visited and her and Mommy finally took you to the doctor....turns out you were really just hungry and have a little acid reflux! (I would scream too if I were that hungry!) You were still below birth weight so the doctor told us to feed you all you wanted.

So we have been feeding you before you can ever get that mad and you are like a new baby. So happy! Before you cried all day and took no naps. Now you are so happy and easily get full and sleepy. Sorry Emery....Mommy is still pretty new at this! We are learning more about you everyday!

And it was a good thing you started feeling better because we visited all of your family this past weekend. You spent one day with Nana, Grandpa, GiGi, Great-G'pa, Aunt Linda, Bill, Uncle Austin, and Uncle Avery. GiGi and Aunt Linda were kind of baby hogs ha!

On Sunday you met A LOT of Jansens. You slept right through them all holding you...which is something you should probably get used to! You also got to meet your Great-Grandma Jansen. Believe it or not, but you are her 78th great-grandchild! What a fun big family to be apart of!

 

You also finally got to meet your new best friend Jordyn. You are suppose to be older, but she beat you to that. You two weigh about the same, but you are a bit longer. It will be so fun to watch you grow together.

Clearly you two love each other already!

If taking pictures of one little girl isn't hard enough.....lets put two ornery girls together:)

GiGi made you two matching dresses. Kelsey and I cannot wait to dress you up alike!

You spent Monday at school with Mommy and Daddy helping get Mom's classroom ready and again did so good. It was a big day and you two were exhausted! Like father, like daughter ha! There is nothing Mom loves more than to see her two loves together.

We are so glad you feel better and are becoming such a happy baby. Keep growing Emery Kayt!
