It’s been a busy weekend for Miss Emma. Just two-and-a-half weeks old, she had a slew of visitors this weekend.
On Saturday, Great Uncle Darwyn, his fiancée Debbie and her kids came for a surprise visit. We all had a wonderful time watching Emma, who is becoming more and more alert every day. She’s really starting to focus her gaze on people, and we’re all trying to get her to make faces now.
I also noticed today that her neck strength has really begun to come along. She’s able to hold her head up more and look around a bit. And she’s showing a little bit of strength in her legs, too. Crawling, here we come!!!
On Sunday, Auntie Amanda and Emma’s paternal grandparents came for a visit. Since she lives in Chicago, Amanda got the most Emma time. My mom, who has yet to pick a grandma name (we’ve taken to calling her Bubbe BuJu and Grandma BuJu), was second in the running for Emma-holding time. Pops, who has finally picked his moniker — Grandpa, he’s selected — didn’t get to hold her as much as he would have liked.
My guess is that he’s biding his time for next weekend, when he’ll use the excuse, ahem — reason — of: “But it’s my birthday weekend…I should get to hold my first grandchild for hours on end…”
For Momma Cash and Papa Josh, we’re thrilled that so many people love our daughter so much.
Emma’s big weekend wrapped up with a visit from my good friend Ray Simpson, who took a Sunday drive from Houston for some business and decided to stop by. Ray’s a new father. His son, William, is seven months old. And as soon as he gets a Web site for little Willy, I’ll link to it (hint, hint, hint)…
Oh, and here’s the best part: More Pictures!!! (just click on the photo below to go to the entire web album…)
you all make me think of the beatles song:
love, love, love . . .
