Emmi's stats were she is 26 1/2 inches long. She weighed in at 17lbs 11 ounces and her head was 18 inches.
Love the new doctor we went to. First impressions is it is a newer office so it felt so clean. The rooms were painted in bright colors and the room we were in had circles in a bubble pattern on the walls. They have computers in each of the rooms so they can enter the information in directly opposed to writing everything down.
The nurse was great, very nice. The doctor, Dr Samarel, was also great, except for being a Yankee fan. :^P He asked questions about Emmi. As he would talk to us and she would scream, he would respond to her in different ways. Very cool. Then when he held her she was a little bit fussy due to it being nap time, so he handed her back and proceeded to check her out while she was on my lap so that she was most comfortable. He liked how we werent over aggressive with trying to feed Emmi. He said since we live in a middle to upper middle class area, you often see lots of competition, like being at baby playgroup and hearing a baby is eating rice cereal the parent will come home to feed their baby steak tips just to stay ahead.
He talked about vaccines with us. His point of view was great, we didn't feel like since we have been not vaccinated her we were doing anything bad. He also said it was refreshing to finally have someone come in who wasn't just asking about the MMR (due to autism) shot. At this time we still didn't vaccinate and will continue to research and analyze what will work best for us.
He was funny and made you feel like you had all the time in the world to ask whatever you needed. I think this will be a much better fit for us.

Emmi has a new grocery cart cover. With Memere's guidance on how to go about cutting out fabric, mission was accomplished in very little time. Very excited on how it came out. I will take a picture next time she comes to the grocery store with me. We love having Memere around, especially to do projects. Memere would play with Emmi while I would work. Any time I went downstairs to get something Emmi would get mad and cry as if I were ruin her playtime. She isn't a normal crier.
Here is the birthday boy enjoying his cake.
We also bought a small freezer this weekend since I have been scoring some great deals with triple coupons last week and coupons in general. I am proud to say that in my 2nd triples trip I bought $107 worth of food for $17. Loving this stuff. Basically the two trips I made paid for our freezer.
Emmi got a package this week. As you can see she was very excited to see what was on the inside.
She rolled into the hallway. The hardwood floor was intriguing as she was banging her hands on it for a little bit. I think it may have been the first time on a hard surface.
Here is another location we can find her often, near the window. I had to raise the mini blinds a couple inches since I found her chewing on one end.
