Our little family is still doing so well. Things are settling down and Emerson is fitting right in to his place in our family. He is such a good boy! Pablo loves Emerson...a little too much sometimes. And Alex is beginning to love Emerson too!
Emerson is amazing. We've had 4 nights of baths in a row now where he hasn't screamed. I love him. I love that he hears my voice and tries to find me. I love that he is so beautiful. I love that he puts his lips almost in a kissy face just because. I love that he cries when he farts. I love that he smiles when his tummy rumbles. I love that he sits with me and lets me think I'm funny while I sing to him or tell him stories. I love that he is still so snuggly and just needs his Mom. I love that when he is fussy most times I can fix it.
I am so happy to be a Mama. It's an amazing feeling to have my own son. Being a step Mom is a blessing, but having my own is just so different.

Emerson Blessing
This weekend we blessed Emerson and baptized my nephew all in one day! It was a pretty great event though. We named Emerson after my Grandpa Fish (George) and in Emersons blessing my brother in law told him to look to Grandpa as a man who has always been a hard worker and a good man and strong in the church. My grandpa has always been my best friend and an amazing man in my eyes-but now I know my son will have the same thoughts and an inspiration for something great to look up to. His blessing also said Juan and I are strong people who love him and will teach him right, and that he will serve a mission and have the opporunity to touch many lives. I am so excited for the life my little critter has ahead of him. My brother in law Jacob blessed Emerson and Uncle Wayne, Steve Bentley, Mike Jolley, andJake's Dad Larry all stood in to perform the blessing. I am thankful beyond belief for my brother in law being able and willing to perform the blessing. It's kind of hard not having a Dad to count on for those things-but I am blessed to have the second best-a brother by marriage. Jacob has been around long enough he is pretty much a brother!

Our baby boy!
Emerson is still...amazing! We are having a great time with him in our family. He still loves his Mom the best of course and we are the best of friends. I think we are figuring eachother out and getting along just fine. He is a great eater-so great in fact his pediatrician suggest I sell my breast milk because he is so chubby. Last week he weighed 9lbs and 11 oz. Almost 10 pounds of sugar for me to love on.
He is a great baby--he is very calm and peaceful unless he is hungry, getting his diaper or his clothes changed. Then he kind of looses his mind. Sometimes when he wakes up I sing songs to him, and I'm certain he smiles and laughs at me. Maybe I'm crazy-but I like to pretend he thinks I'm as funny as I do. =)
Emerson is sleeping fairly well at night-typically waking up only twice to eat. Occasionally he'll wake up more often and I get so tired I just lay him in bed beside me and he falls alseep every time! He loves our bed I guess-or he loves to sleep close to his Mama! He also LOVES to sleep with his Dad-they spend lots of time in the bed!
We got Emersons birth certificate and social security card this week. It was really weird to see my name as the Mom on his birth certificate. I know it's real, and I know he's my baby-but it's still all sort of weird!

Emerson
his belly button fell off! He is still darling...still my best friend...and I think he might be a mama's boy--he will be if I have anything to do with it of course!
I am loving being a Mom to Emerson..he is a great little baby and I am feeling so blessed to get to spend so much time with him!

Why I love Emerson...
1. I am his best friend right now, and he's mine.
2. He has the longest baby fingers I have ever seen and I love to hold his hands.
3. He has the most adorable cry-even at 3 in the morning it brings a smile to my face.
4. He is a very peaceful baby, until I change his diaper or change his clothes.
5. He loves to just stare into my eyes when I feed him-I can't describe how much I love him.
6. He makes darling faces while he sleeps.
7. His arms are so long and floppy he doesn't know what to do with them.
8. He always sucks in his bottom lip.
9. He stretches and makes kitty cat sounds.
10. I love to lay him on my chest and talk to him and he just looks at me.
I love everything about my little boy. He is the most perfect thing in the world to me.
