Today Emma rolled over onto her side for the first time. This afternoon, she napped while some of her mom's old students came and visited her after school.

play yard / message for students
Emma loves to lie down and look up at the purple cat dangling from her play yard!
Emma will be in Mrs. Lieberg's room for a few minutes after the middle school dismissal this Friday to visit with last year's students.

Look at me!
Mommy and Daddy put me in my Bumbo seat today. Abby didn't waste any time to come over and sniff me to make sure I was OK.

3 band-aids
This picture is from Friday night after Emma's long day of doctor visits. She had three shots, so she needed three band-aids! She was such a good sport that day.
Beach Outfit
Here is Emma on her nine week birthday. It is hard to believe she has been with us for an entire grading period!

2 Months Old!
Our beautiful daughter, Emma, is two months old today! This picture was taken with Aaron's cell phone at the doctor's office. She has some cream on her lip to numb it for another treatment that will help it heal. She was in such a good mood and was smiling a bunch!

Emma at School
Emma came to school today while mommy worked on her classroom. She slept most of the day, but was awake long enough for Miss Conrad to play with her!

Remy
Emma was baptised yesterday. Pictures from the day follow; however, like Julia and Joshua's puppy Remy, Meredith was tired and put them in the wrong order! Scroll down to see the pics she meant to put up at the top of the page.
Mantle
There were many members of the Ristau family at the baptism too. Those pictures will be coming to the blog soon!
Getting Ready
Emma was baptised yesterday. She wore the baptismal gown that over 25 Ristaus have worn, the first being Meredith's dad over 60 years ago! Her sponsors are her Auntie Mal and Uncle Christian. She slept in her dad's arms until the water was poured on her head, but she didn't cry. After the baptism, there was a celebration at Grandma and Grandpa Ristau's house. The weather was perfect and everyone had a great time. Emma is lucky to have many friends and family members who love her so much that they came out to spend the day with her! It was a busy day and it wore Emma out. She slept eight hours that night!

6 weeks old
Emma is six weeks old today! It is hard to believe that so much time has already passed. She now smiles often and can hold her head up really well. She also likes to stare at things and follow objects with her eyes.
Going for a Walk
We took Emma for a walk last night. She likes to ride in her stroller, so much so that she usually falls right asleep!
