6 Months

Emma turned six months old on Tuesday!  She is getting big so fast.  

She is 27 inches long (92nd percentile) and 17 lbs (74th percentile).  She is so chubby and sweet, we just love kissing her cheeks!  She love to look at her hands and they entertain her a lot.  She is very easy going and mellow.  She has found her voice and loves to talk and cackle at things.  She is still breastfeeding and we have not started solids yet but maybe will after I get through a couple big work-weeks.  She is a good night-time sleeper and although she wakes up to eat twice during the night, she goes to sleep very easily.  We had her in our bed until about 3 weeks ago and move her to the crib.  The transition was so smooth!  I miss having her close but I know she likes to have her space in there.  She is almost sitting up without assistance and today she rolled over because she wanted too.  (she rolled before but I think by accident).  I love her so much.  She really is the best baby.

Sophie is such a great big sister.  Always playful and attentive with the baby.  She looks for ways to help.  Emma just loves her.  She watches her play and follows her all around the room with her eyes.  Sophie loves preschool and loves to write and say her letters.  She can count to "100 by tens" and has such a great memory.  She loves to read before bed and has almost all the favorite books memorized.  She is still a picky eater!  She loves playing outside.

We are so lucky to have these two sweet girls!
