E has gone to her first play. Some of the young women in my church were in the play "Grease." I was going to go with a friend in the young women presidency but she was unable to go so I ask Bry if he would like to. We both love plays and so I knew he would agree, so we bought her ticket. Of course E would go with us. I am not ready to ask for a babysitter. She did really good. She slept most the time. She did get startled a couple of times because it would be quite and then a song would start or they would yell. I thought she would be interested in the lights but she really didn't care. As for the play. It was really good. They have some good talent and good voices at the school. The only thing I was disappointed in was one of the songs that was different, it wasn't in the movie. It was called "moon" and apparently one of the boys was good at mooning and so throughout the song they would grab each others rear ends. It was funny but maybe not appropriate for high school students to do. I guess I don't remember plays like that when we were in high school or maybe it is because I now have a daughter and I would not like her to play that role. They also had some fake cigarettes. I guess I found it funny that we live in Wyoming where we have commercials and billboards about drugs and they have these high school students pretending to smoke. Don't get me wrong I know that it is in the movie and I love the movie but they could have done with out the cigarettes. I don't think I would have noticed that detail gone.
I was sad that I forgot to take my camera to the play to take a picture of her but I guess there will be other opportunities. She will be going to church for the first time tomorrow and the following weekend she will be blessed. We are so excited. I am making her a blessing blanket. Hopefully it will be done by next Sunday. I am getting excited to be doing more with E. I know it is winter and so there is not much to do but I do want to show her off. I just hope we are not exposing her to early and she ends up getting sick. She is doing so well sleeping at night and she is such a happy baby I don't want to see her sick, but I guess no mother wants to see their child sick. So we will see how it goes. I guess she has to get exposed sometime.

The past couple days have been interesting. She is developing new little behaviors. One is, she likes to make little spit bubbles and play with her tongue. Another is she use to suck on her hand when she was hungry but now she just likes to suck on her hand. So know I am not sure how to tell if she is hungry. Last but not least, she has dad wrapped around her little fingers. She will cry around bed time wanting to be held to go to sleep. If I let her cry, dad comes to the rescue. She is learning early. She is now 6 weeks old. She is more attentive to what is around and loves looking at the lights. Still sleeps a lot but when she is awake she is fun to look at because you can make her smile more. She is also making more noise especially at night when she is sleeping. Cute but quite annoying when you are trying to sleep.

I can't visually see how she is growing and so I thought if I took a picture with a stuffed animal each month I might be able to see her grow. This is my stuff teddy bear Pokey.

She looked so cute in her duck onsie that I thought I would take theme pictures.

She hates being on her belly but when she is really tired, I guess she doesn't care. This is how I found her when checking up on her.

this is how she started, before moving to her belly.

On Feb. 2, I went into the wic office (it is a goverment program that helps with health and feeding for pregnant moms) and had her weighed and measured. We was 8lbs 11oz. she is in the 50th percentile for her weight and 60-65 % for her length. Yesterday my home nurse came and weighed her and she was 9lbs 2 oz. She is moving more and I think she is getting alittle more control of her head. She still likes to whip it around. I am surprised babies don't have neck injuries. As for now we are watching the opening ceremonies the the winter games.

I have been watching the news and seeing pictures of Iowa. They are getting so much snow. Here in Casper we have no snow on the ground. The temp. is cool but I am grateful to not be in that snow. E is now 5 weeks old. I have taken her to a couple of church activities. Mainly activities that don't have a lot of kids. We are still worried about the flu's going around and so we have only had people hold her if they have come to our house. If and when we decide to have more we won't be able to be this protective. I know we are probably being over protective but she has been so healthy that I am not ready for her to be sick. She is smiling a lot more and I know it all can't be gas. I also think she is staying awake more. She still sleeps tons but at least I have more pictures of her with her eyes open. I will be posting more pictures in the next couple of day.

This last Sunday both Bry and I were dressed to go to church. Bry to sacrament and me to young women's. We still don't want to take E to church but since we were dressed I got her dressed up so we could take some family pictures. The dress I have her in I believe is an old dress of mine when I was little and the Blanket, Grandma A made it for her. That is Bry mom. She is sleeping well at night, 5-6 hours. So I am sleeping as good as to be expected. It has been nice.
