The Day Emily Turned Six Months Old

On September 28th, Emily turned six months old, weighing 16 lbs. 2 oz.  and measuring 25 inches long.

Emily loves loves loves to be held (and demands it most of the time) but will not lay her head on your shoulder for anything.  She has already figured out that if she sleeps, she misses out on all of the sisterly fun that goes on at our house. 

She still loves being in the Baby Bjorn and I can do just about anything for any amount of time with her happily riding along in it… I wish my back enjoyed it as much as she does.

She is great at sitting up and likes being able to play right alongside Katelyn and Brooke looking like a big girl.

Emily is so happy and very smiley.  The downside is that it takes an inordinate amount of time to go to a store with her.  She loves to smile and “talk” to all of the nice people that want to visit with her and pinch her cheeks.  I can’t blame them though.

She is still a fantastic eater and loves her rice cereal, fruit and veggies.  Her current “fun food” favorites this month have included Cheetos, mashed potatoes, Ritz crackers, snow cones, and marshmallows.

 

Emily thoroughly enjoys her mesh feeder and has used it to gum many fruits to death.  When I give her a pear in it, she does such a good job “eating” it that I almost don’t need to clean it out when she is done.  Almost.

She loves to laugh and giggle at sisters.  They provide a fantastic source of entertainment and they are crazy about her.  It is a win-win.  She continues to bring so much joy into our home and we are so glad she is here.
