Well its been a while since my last post. Emma Lin's surgery went well. She did great. I did pretty good. Once they gave her the sedative I didn't feel so bad about them taking her. She didn't even cry she was so dopy and tired. I don't know if the surgery worked, her eye still seems to tear up. We took her back for a follow up appointment and the doc said give it another 2 weeks sometimes the tear duct stays swollen for a while. So hopefully that is the case. I am not sure if I would put her through a surgery again so soon.
We have been keeping busy with such nice weather we have been outside and enjoying the sun. Emma is getting so big, she is now into 12 months cloths they are still a little big but she needs them for the length. The 9 months stuff is just to short for her. I think she is going to be tall. She is so funny, I really can't get enough of her. She is still not really talking,but on occasion does say a word or two. The other day I sneezed and she said bless you as clear as day. It was so cute. My mom was holding another little baby cousin of ours and Emma took one look at her and you could tell she was not very happy she was holding another baby. She grab a book and said to my mom "take this". I almost fell over, it was so funny. I guess she thought if she held the book she couldn't hold the baby.
Cupcake night went well. We celebrated in princess style. We have princess cupcakes and Emma wore a little cupcake princess outfit. We had my parents over, my nephew nicky, Ryan's dad and nephew. Along with my grandmom, friends lisa and john and their two little ones and my cousin rosie and her mom along with rosies two little ones. It was a nice night. Emma had a good time playing with Kyle and Colin and her new kitchen set. I really like having cupcake night it a good time to get everyone together to celebrate Emma's new life here with us.
She has come such a long way in these past 3 months. She has such a personality. She funny, playful and full of life. She doesn't miss a beat and wants to learn everything. She has a great time rough housing with daddy and cuddling with mommy. She really loves our cats and gets so excited to play with them. Emma and our dog Sadie have become best friends, Emma torchors Sadie while Sadies sits there waiting for treats from mommy. I think Sadie has gain a couple pounds since Emma has been home. She get Emma leftovers and steal some of her snacks. Its so cute to watch them two interact.
Emma just loves to sing and dance so we signed her up for a mommy and me music class. We had our first class on monday and it was really fun. Emma just sat on my lap and stared at the music teacher taking it all in. Hopefully this week she will get up and dance like the other kids. I know she liked it,but just wasn't sure what to do. Well ta ta till next time.
Oh, I'm sorry I missed that she had surgery last week! Glad to hear that it went well and she's doing good now. Can't believe that she's stringing words together so clearly like that! Lydia is saying a few words (not clearly though--she's getting tubes in a couple weeks for hearing issues). I can't imagine words put together like that coming out of her. Such fun to see them blossom, isn't it? :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like quite the little personality developing :-)
ReplyDeleteIts been awhile since I've checked the blog. Sorry! But it seems like things are going really well! Sorry you had to go through the surgery - for you and for Emma, but I'm sure its truly for the best. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the duct is just swollen still. And can't wait to see more pics - especially from cupcake night!
ReplyDeleteGive Emma a great big hug from all her cousins up here. xoxo
