emma {4 weeks}

Wow, I can't believe our little one is 4 weeks old! The last month has been jam packed with equal parts of stress and joy... I won't bore you with the details (special thanks to N for being my victim there) but I'm so relieved August is over!

This is my favorite photo of Emma at 4 weeks old, taken on September 2nd. She's just waking up and stretching, and I absolutely love her expression!

I've got my eye on you, Mama!

Over the last four weeks, Emma is...
~discovering her hands... waving them around, and sucking on her fingers for comfort (and also when she's hungry!)
~opening her eyes wide and looking all around her world
~lifting and turning her head for brief periods when we hold her upright
~gaining weight (finally!)
