fun pictures

Here are some fun pictures that Peter took. She is so cute to watch as she wakes up. She makes the best faces, and grunts and groans so loud!

More pictures of Emma

So one of the coolest gifts we have received is from my friend Michelle who I met in Amsterdam. She sent (from America) us a box of M & M's which you can see above...They are so cool. When I opened the package I thought, "neat, Michelle sent us pink M&M's." Then I realized they actually have Emma's name on them! Amazing...
Here is Emma on her first walk...which was about 2 1/2 weeks ago! I had meant to post these earlier, but our computer has been acting up a bit!! We really bundled her up because it was so cold...She slept through the entire ordeal!

Here she is again...we have offered her a pacifier when she gets a bit fussy, but she hates them! She closes her mouth so tight and won't even let you try to put it in!!! she is so funny!!

Emma Adriaantje Brokaar

Well, here are some more pictures of Emma from the hospital time. She is so sweet and already changing...I hope that means she might figure out the sleep is for night! Actually she is very good, and does sleep for longs stretches at a time...we are glad for those moments to sleep as well. The above pictures is her on the final day in the hospital, Daddy Peter bought her first pink item, her friend the bunny...it is very very sweet to see Peter so excited for his daughter.
Our first family photo! This was taken on Januray 3rd...the evening Emma was born.


This is the best picture to see her hair, which already seems to be a bit changes. At the hospital, it looked strawberry blondish, but now it is looking more and more just blonde. We shall see!
I hope to add more pictures soon, but as some might guess, we are a bit busy here at the moment. We did have our first ride in our stroller yesterday, and Emma already lost her umbilical cord, which is nice not to have to worry about that! Thank you to every one for your e-mails and encouragement...we think she is pretty special and look forward to showing her to you all soon.
Luv to you from Peter, Liz, and Emma
