The not-so-little nugget: 13lbs, 13oz.

Went to the Dr.s today for her 4 month checkup. (4 months and 8 days to be exact). She weighed in at 13 lbs, 13 oz. and is 23.5 in. long; ranking 20th percentile for weight, but 50th percentile for length! Go Emma.

Water Girl

We used to give Emma baths upstairs. That required too much bending, lifting, etc. Kitchen sink is much easier.

Holding the Baby

Emma in Hanna Andersson

Bring it on.

Emma as Winston

Many, much of the time Emma is BEAUTIFUL. This picture captures her more aged characteristics, those of W. Churchill in Sid's opinion. Must be the chin.

Oldies (a few weeks ago), but goodies

Here are a few more pictures of Emma (pre-Christmas)

Fortune and the Fish

Gail is reading the fish fortune instructions.
Depending on how the fish reacts when laid
in your hands, you are either feeling:

in love, jealous, peaceful, or nothing at all..
















Sid was in love.












Mary is in love.


















Corey, in love.



















Calder, in love (with Dad) :-)

















Ella was in love as well, but with her leapster machine, and Pops too.















































While we have no pictures of Gail or me and the fish. I believe we were both in love, or peaceful. Mine was possibly nothing, but I was not feeling very well.....

Merry Christmas 2007

I feel like I've been waiting my whole life to get these wicked good slippers. It was worth the wait. I love them.

The socks I have on are now my FAVORITE socks as well; the right colors, the right weight, the right height.

It wasn't just the glory of perfect presents this Christmas. This little one was the essential piece of the wonderful Christmas puzzle.

Emma was 3 months old 4 days before the big day.

Thank you Sid for the pin.


Speaking of....


















































Having the entire Williamson Family (Pops, Neena, Mary, Corey, Ella and Calder) was a delight and were thrilled that they could all be here.

For pictures of the celebratory dinner and the entire Williamson clan present, see the Merry Christmas dinner entry.







Where the family photos are I don't know.
But, in absence of an entire family picture to wish everyone a final happy holiday, here are Emma and I to do so.

She likes to look right. At anything.








Happy New Year.
