Changes
Today Emmy picked up a book, brought it over to me and held out her arms for me to pick her up and read it to her. We only got through a few pages before she wanted to get back down but this is a big deal. We have been reading to her since we got home but she hasn't actually wanted to sit still and she didn't pay much attention to the book. And a few days ago I had a Baby Einstein DVD on and she watched parts of it and laughed, bobbed her head a long to the music, and seemed generally focused on what was happening.
I don't if these milestones are a big deal in other people's houses, but for us it is an amazing miracle. This is not the same child we met 16 weeks ago. The personality is the same but she is changing everyday. Back in December she didn't focus on things except small items that she could touch. She is reacting to things and showing a wide range of emotions. She even seemed afraid of something the other day and came to me to hold her. Again, not sure if this is worth alerting the media for, but I think it is proof that she settling in to her new life and flourishing with all the love and attention.
As for Dave and I, we continue to settle into our new lives too. It's not always easy and sometimes we forget that there's "no 'I' in team", but overall we're making the changes.
Here is a picture, unrelated to this post, but I get in trouble for just writing...I know you people need some eye-candy!
Aunt Leslie took this picture of Emmy in her walker, aka the Wheelie-Car. Or, the thing that mama trips over everyday.

We know she's the smartest baby ever. She has adapted well to her new home and you two are doing a good job. It's a big adjustment going from two to three especially when the third one requires so much attention. Don't forget though, one day, it will be the two of you again so be sure to keep you focus there too. It's just hard to juggle it all but well worth it in the end. You know we're going through that empty nest now and I'm not sure how time travels at the speed of light but I can promise it goes awfully fast. Your love is strong. God Bless.
We love you,
Teri and Ralph
