My Mom came back to Lubbock with us after Christmas (on Monday) and went to Emma's doctor's appointment with us Tuesday morning (December 27th), and then we went shopping before heading back to Abilene that evening. Emma and I stayed the rest of the week in Abilene with my parents, and Colton came back on Friday when he got off work.
We took this picture when we were at the mall shopping after Emma's appointment. She got her first set of shots, which was hard on all of us! But she actually did very well. She got 5 vaccines, which had been combined down into 3 different shots, and an oral medication. Her poor little chubby legs were sore and she was a tiny bit fussier than usual, but she did great! She didn't even run a fever.
At 10 weeks old, Emma Claire weighed 12 pounds and was 22 1/2 inches long! She is growing so fast, we can't believe it! She has now outgrown all of her newborn clothes, and is wearing 3 months (which she actually moved up to the week after Thanksgiving). The doctor was very impressed at her weight gain as well. She is already holding her head up on her own, which she started doing around Thanksgiving, and wants to be sitting up or held where she is standing up all the time now, and loves bouncing! As you can imagine, our arms stay pretty sore! Emma also loves to smile, and is starting to figure out how to laugh. We can't wait until she gets it down. She makes lots of noises and tries hard to talk to us.
Emma Claire's First New Year!
Emma wore her new jeans & one of her new shirts New Year's Eve day :)
And then changed into her party dress for that night!

New Year's Day 2012:
We went to lunch at Grandma & Grandpa Gragg's & celebrated Colton's 24th birthday, since we wouldn't be back again before his birthday.

"Directing" everyone as we sang to him!
Blowing out his candles!
Great Uncle Kenneth & Uncle Parker with Emma
We had a lot of fun celebrating both occasions! :)
Then we relaxed the rest of the day, and my parents kept Emma so Colton and I could go on a date that night. We went to Chili's for dinner, and then did a bit of shopping.
We left the next day (Monday the 2nd) to go back to Lubbock. Before we left, we went by the cemetery and took Emma to visit her Grandma Becky for the first time. It was the one year anniversary of her passing. Emma slept through it, but we still wanted to take her to visit.
I thought the Morris family might like to see a picture; I'm not sure if y'all have ever seen her marker. We sure do miss Becky, and wish that she could have been here to meet our beautiful Emma Claire!
