Emily 6 months

Emily, my dear, you are 6 months old already.  Where did the time go?

#1 highlight of the month is that you are SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT! Oh what a wonderful thing this has been.  We started by not feeding you in the middle of the night when you woke up-you only got the pacifier.  Your night wakings dropped dramatically and then became just at 4 am...then 5 am...then 6am.  We'll take a 6am wake up call over hourly visits in the middle of the night!  We are so proud of you, sweetie.

You can sit up!  What a big girl you are and how you love sitting up and playing by Savannah.  You can play with so many new toys when you are sitting up and you never want to lay down anymore.

Since you can sit up, we gave you claim to the high chair. Savannah has graduated to a booster and she loves it.  You have the high chair and you are SO much easier to feed oatmeal to with your grabby hands holding the tray instead of trying to grab the spoon and bring it to your mouth.  You are a little too young to feed yourself with a spoon.  :)

You really have come alive this month.  You are much more interactive and you love to laugh and squeal.  Your cousin Owen had you laughing for 10 minutes straight-the hardest laugh I have ever heard from you!  I walked into the house after some errands and I heard lots of squealing.  When I came in to see which girly it was, I found daddy watching both girls in a crib and he announced that the squeals were from BOTH of you.  You love to give kisses when we hold your mouth next to our faces.  You get so excited in our little splash pool and you splash and wave your arms.  You love to take a bath and love it even more when Savannah is in there with you.  We went to a  primary talent show and your eyes lit up with all the kids running around and the hustle and bustle.  We went to storytime at the library this month and you LOVED it. 

We love you, Emily!  It's so fun having you in our family!
