Emily will be 7 weeks old tomorrow and I can hardly believe it! She is just as sweet as ever. Right before we left Naples she had her one month check up. She weighed in at 9 lbs 10 oz, which is about a 2 lb weight gain since birth. She has also grown about 2 inches since birth as well. She handled her immunization shot like a champ! The doctor gave her a clean bill of health. About a week ago she started sleeping through the night! It seems too good to be true. We have a nice little routine going. Each night around 8 or so Toby or I give her a bottle and then put her down in her pack n play in our bedroom. She then kicks around and coos for bit before falling asleep. She usually doesnt wake up again until around 5 or 5:30. She is amazing! Last week we caught her first purposeful smiles and coos. I hope to catch more on camera and video. Currently she is a bit under the weather with a cold. Poor baby:(

Jackson is also doing great! He loves "Carowina", as he calls it. I often hear him say, "I love my house, mommy." We have gotten his "big boy" room all set up complete with new paint, a new book shelf so he can reach his own books, and Spiderman sheets for his big boy bed. He loves exploring in his big back yard. I cant wait until it gets warmer so we can play outside more. Jackson starts preschool tomorrow. We found a great little school just about a mile down the road. It was recommended by a friend that I used to work with at the hospital. He will be attending school Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9 to 1. It will be great for him to get out and interact with other kids his age again. I think he is starting to go a bit stir crazy here at home. It will also give mommy a nice break:) Of course, Jackson also likes having Bobby and Pa right down the street again!
