Shoes and friends and Emma

Our friend J.J. and his family got Emma the cutest gifts... an organic stuffed monkey, adorable little socks that look like little girl shoes, and my favorite... baby TOMS shoes! I didn't even know they made them so small. I love TOMS shoes and their mission: for every pair of shoes that is purchased, a pair is given to a child in need of shoes. How fantastic is that?

Thursday Emma and I had lunch with an old friend of mine, Lydia, and her beautiful daughter. It was the first time they were meeting Emma and we had a great lunch. Emma was an angel, of course, and she did not make a peep while we were at lunch. What a good little girl...

On Friday, William and Juli came by the house to hang out and meet Emma. They live in New York and were in town for the weekend, so it was a great chance to catch up. Again, Emma was a peach, just vegging and enjoying the afternoon. That is until they left, then the crying began. Emma is a pretty easy baby. She is not very fussy and she sleeps through the night, but for some reason or another, come dusk, the witching hour begins. I think she just gets tired and overwhelmed from the stimulation of the day. She usually just wants to nurse and cuddle, which is just fine with me!
