Emmy at 6 Months

   I'm super late in posting these.  Poor Emmy suffers from being the fourth child and a mom who is getting a Master's degree.  I am doing my best to get these posts up!
   At 6 months old Emmy has sure changed a lot since she was a newborn.  We are seeing more and more of her personality every day.  She is still the sweetest thing in the world.  She just has the sunniest little disposition.  She loves to smile at everyone.  She is the also the cutest little thing you ever did see.  We get stopped constantly when we are out by people commenting as to how cute she is.  I think the fact that she is always smiling contributes to that as well!
    Emmy has mastered sitting up by herself.  She can sit for long periods of time and play.  She is also  getting really good at rolling across the floor to get to where she wants to go.
   At her six month appointment, we learned that she is now 16 lbs and 7 oz and 25 1/2 inches long.  I think she is still around the 50% for both height and weight.  The doctor was very pleased with her growth and said she looks great.
   At six months we also got to start solids.  What an exciting time for Emmy!  The few weeks prior I spent a lot of time making all sorts of homemade, organic purees for her to try.  We were so excited to give her her first taste.  I was so disappointed when she wanted nothing to do with it!  I guess I would feel the same way if I had a liquid only diet my entire life too!  I talked to the doctor about it and she said to just keep trying.  I decided to buy some store bought purees since they tend to be a little thinner.  I was able to get her to eat those.  Once she got used to the consistency, she started eating the homemade food like a champ. She is a pretty good eater and loves to try new things.

Always smiling 

Big girl is no longer sitting in her bath chair.  She can now sit in the bath by herself.  

She loves her jumper

Dawson is absolutely crazy about Emmy.  They have an adorable special bond.

Crazy girl!!!

She wasn't too sure how she felt about sitting in a high chair.  She has since gotten more used to it.  

This was Ashlyn's very favorite toy.  Emmy loves it too!
