Emma is 6 Months!

Hard to believe that 6 months ago we became a family of 5 and our little Emma Josephine was born.  But yes, time marches on and she is now 6 months and changing so quickly it's hard to keep up!

She doesn't have her 6 month Dr. appointment until the 22nd so the height/weight stats will have to wait - I fully expect a 20 pounder with this one though.

• Has 3 - 1/2 teeth currently.  3 on the bottom and 1 incisor peeking through on the top, however there are 3 teeth on the top almost ready to cut as well.  Our kids tend to get teeth pretty early - a lovely trait they inherited from their mother :).
• Drools....a lot.  See above note concerning teething.  If you pick her up in and hold her above you, you might have to duck and cover because you will be bombed with drool.
• Wearing 6-9 and 9-12 month clothing.  Pants are becoming a deciding factor on what fits - they need to be stretchy!
• Does not like wearing socks, loves to play with her feet.
• Started eating vegetable solids.  So far green beans and carrots have been tried.  Others will get introduced as soon as I can make them.
• Can roll and scoot about anywhere she wants to, it's not baby gate time yet, but we are getting closer.
• Can sit up for about 15 seconds, but then will lean forwards and won't really prop herself up with her hands yet.
• Still sucking her thumb when she is tired but that's about the only time she does.
• Will sleep 11-12 hours at night
• Takes a morning and afternoon nap, usually totaling about 3+ hours
• Has tried a sippy cup with water
• Moved from her infant car seat to a rear facing convertible car seat.
• Finds her big sisters to be the most entertaining things out there
• Likes toys that crinkle the most
• Only cries when she is tired, hungry (and has seen her bottle), or is poopy
• Possibly likes her Dad more than her Mom because he has facial hair she can pull
• Has the best giggle ever

That's just a small recap of all things Emma.  She is growing and changing so quickly, we might have to try to drag out this baby phase a little longer.....
