Emily is 5 weeks old today.  Some notable achievements:

1. She has a longer attention span and loves different sounds and textures

2. She smiled for the first time at Mommy, then Daddy, then Granmom

3. She can briefly grab and hold something in her hand

4. She recognizes familiar voices and follows people with her eyes

And, last night, Emily slept for 5.5 hours in one stretch for the first time!  Needless to say, that made Mom and Dad very happy.

Here are a couple of pics with Mommy.
