Baby Emily's Beginnings

I guess I should interrupt our cake journey and recap our new addition to our family. Emily Naomi was born on December 17th. There was definitely plenty of love to go around!
Christmas was so much fun with our family of seven! It was a wonderful time of year to have a baby.
When Emily was 2 weeks old she was not doing well with gaining the weight she should because she was not eating properly. The picture above shows it well, but at the time we were oblivious to the danger she was in. The next 2 months were a lot of work, but she quickly regained her strength and weight and learned how to nurse sufficiently. In the meantime, though, everyone was anxious to help:

And oh how quickly she has grown! March:


In April we visited Great-grandma Yukish. All the kids posed with their blankets that grandma quilted for each of them when they were born.


I think I will end this post...because it sure isn't fun dragging each picture down to the bottom each time. ....And since we have ended in April, it is fitting that we go back to our journey of cakes.....
