Wow, it's been a while since we posted one of our monthly updates. Seems like in the past month we've been traveling and traveling and have run out of time for updating!
Emery weighed in at 16lbs 10 oz at her 6 month check up...still a chunk! She measured 27 inches- the nurse said she's in the 90th percentile for height...not so sure about that but we'll see where she measures next time. It's hard to get those squirmy babies to sit still! Emery did manage to rip apart every piece of that tissue type paper on the exam table. It was pretty comical waiting for the doctor to come in- she would get so excited seeing herself in the mirror and then in the process rip up the paper. I finally just tore the paper off the table as that was easier than trying to pick the pieces out of her mouth!
In many ways, this month has been the most fun and exciting as we've watched Emery's personality really bloom. She has really started to figure things out and will sit and play with a toy for a while trying to realize how it works. I think she has her dad's patience and her mom's determination. She's much more animated now and has started making fart noises with her mouth with drool hitting any nearby targets! She now says "ma ma" and "ba ba." I have to admit it's pretty amazing to hear her crying out "ma ma" even though I know she has no clue that's me!
Emery is really close to crawling. Rocking back and forth on her hands and knees is her new past time and she wants so badly to get to her toys but just falls flat after reaching out further than her body can hold. In many ways I'm nervous for this stage as baby proofing will really have to be figured out, but I also know she is going to LOVE the independence.
More than anything I think it's hard to believe that our little girl is 6 months. Time is flying by with her in every way. I continue to be so grateful for God's blessings on us this year and am looking forward to the next 6 months!
