It is now official. Emma is a member in good standing of the "Dunker's Club." Although considered a novice, she took to dunking like a politician to a fundraiser. With just one example, she pushed us aside and started dunking with both hands. She even had the "let one soak while I eat the other" system perfected. The doctor said to get whole vitamin D milk in her any way possible, and we have found this to be a fool-proof method.
Emma is sleeping very nicely, thank you very much. We put her down at 8 or 9 PM, and she doesn't wake up until 7:45 AM or so. At that time, she stands up and puts her arms out, ready for the lift-out. Not a cry or anything. She sure is a sweetheart.
She went to church Sunday, and made quite a splash. Everybody there was so nice and anxious to finally meet her. Denny and I traded trips to the foyer with her. Church sitting is not one of her strong suits (nor is it one of mine). She made it about 1 1/2 hours, which isn't bad. We will work on building that time up, and maybe even give her a shot at the nursery. Watch out nursery!

Another first. Emma was introduced to Hires Big H. What an eventful week we have had. She enjoyed "double dipping" her fries in the special sauce, and occasionally taking a bite of her grilled cheese sandwich. I guess the only other major "first" we are lacking is a trip to the Home Depot, which may happen some time this weekend. Kinda makes me cry to think of it.
In conclusion, just a couple of observations. First, you can never have enough spoons. I don't know how many we have, but it is not enough. Second, you cannot brush baklava out of a child's hair. It's too sticky. OK then.

So glad to hear another update and know that you guys are getting rest again. Yippee!
What a fun week of firsts for Emma. Keep the posts coming. My kids are getting to know their cousin across the country from your pics.
Hilarious post. It was so great to meet Emma the other night--she's even cuter than the blog would let on. And Hires is the perfect place to take a new American!
Welcome to the hallways at church. We find that we spend more time in the halls with our kids than in the actual meeting. We should have our own "hall club" for those of us with the little ones. See you in the halls! Emma is darling... truly!

What a sweet little sleeper. I'm so glad she's adjusted to our time zone. Thanks for the update, we love hearing all about her firsts.
