6 Weeks Old

Emmett turned 6 weeks old on Friday and we are loving each day, watching him get a little bigger, more alert, and more attune to the world around him. He is now getting pretty good at holding his head up, turning his head towards the sound of his favorite rattle, and following our faces or the rattle with his eyes. Its amazing how these tiny accomplishments become so significant!

We just finished up a pretty big weekend for our little family, our first out-of-town trip! On Saturday we drove up to Baltimore for Justine and Bill's wedding, and spent time with Bobby and Amanda (who lives in B-more) and surprise guests Nana and Papa, who drove down at the last minute to see everyone and who kindly baby-sat Emmett during the Saturday evening wedding. It was a beautiful ceremony and we enjoyed our first evening out (alone!) since Emmett was born.
