A good trip to the mailbox

We got our new pictures of Emma yesterday!!!  She is oh-so-adorable, and those cheeks!  They are so big and kissable! I haven't scanned in the pictures yet because I am too busy staring at them and wondering what her little personality will be like...but I did take a picture of the picture (lame, I know) so that you can see her:



Behold, the cheeks!  And I know she looks like she has gotten quite chubby since our last set of photos, but if you look very closely you'll notice that her sweater sleeves are rolled up and the collar is halfway up the back of her head.  I think perhaps her clothes are huge on her, which makes her look much bigger than the 14 lbs reported.



Here she is without the hat.  I think she has lost some of her infant hair.  Don't you love her raised eyebrows?

I could really just look at her all day long.  Can we all please say a chant in favor of USCIS hurrying up with our I-600???  Thank you.

In order to keep my hands busy during Harry's nap this afternoon I made Emma's mobile for her room.  I bought the metallic framework at T@rget during the Christmas season, and then I used paper cutouts for the bird, butterflies, dragonfly, flowers, and leaves.  Her room will be a garden theme...more pictures to follow, once I've completed a few more projects.
