"Can I hold the baby?"

"I think she really likes that."

Teaching Emma how to read

There's no better place to start than the classics:

I mean, it is the greatest book ever. 

Meeting the grandparents

They're fun, but total pushovers. Jonathan really broke them in well. 

Meeting the bear

Mom and Dad said they've got a bear they use to measure everyone's size, so since it's my one-week birthday today, I got to visit with him on the couch. He's pretty big, but Jonathan says the bear shrinks every month.

Here's what he and I look like together.

He's surprisingly comfy. 

For comparison's sake, here's what Jonathan looked like next to the bear at one month old (which is the same as me today, since he was three weeks early being born): 

And here's how Jonathan looks today next to that guy:

He may be onto something with the shrinking theory. 

Comfy couch

You just don't understand how easy it is to sleep here all day. 

Look what I found!

Jonathan: "I think she likes me a lot!"

That's no surprise to us, little guy. She's gonna love you tons. 

Hello, world! Part 2

It's been a little while since my brother introduced himself on this blog, so I thought maybe it was time we tried some non-Jonathan postings on here too. I mean, he's pretty awesome, but he isn't the only one who can bring the awesome in this family. Just consider my vital stats:

Name -- Emma Angelina
Weight -- 7 pounds, 15 ounces
Length -- 20.5 inches
Birthdate -- Sept. 14, 2014, at 12:03pm
Father -- Capt. Awesome
Mother -- Mrs. Capt. Awesome
Brother -- Junior Awesome
First marital arts move -- Stare of death (performed five minutes into life)

Now, I don't want to come in here and disrupt all the great Jonathan pictures on the site. I just feel like I can help him step up the game here, increase our family's awesome by a factor of two.

That's like, twice as much awesome or something. I'm not sure. I'm only a few hours old, so my higher-level math is still rough. Jonathan has so much to teach me...
