Well, the day has come and gone already, my baby is 6 months old! I can't believe it! She is changing so much!
At her 6month check-up, Emma was 18 pounds 2 ounces and 26 inches long! She now eats apples, bananas, pears, peaches, prunes, carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, peas, green beans, and mixed veggies. Doc said she can have some mashed up table food too if she wants, (with the exceptions of meats, eggs, milk, and really sugary/salty things).
She has since rolled over BOTH ways now and scoots around a little too. She can't get around really yet (except in a little circle) so I still have a little bit of time yet before I have to worry about her getting into things. But she will grab anything within arms reach and put it right into her mouth, so we have to be very careful!
Emma now enjoys her bumbo seat, jumperoo, sippy cup (tho she doesn't drink much from it), frozen teether toys (lifesaver!!), her stuffed pigs, and anything she can shake and make noise. She had her shots yesterday and they were the hardest ones yet:( Both Grandma's went along so I had plenty of support, but nothing makes my tummy hurt more than seeing my daughter hurt and scared and do nothing to stop it. Although the alternative of her gettting sick would be so much worse! It's worth it! She hasn't quite been her happy self lately, I think she is working on some more teeth and has been fussy. She cries nearly every time I leave her sight. But today has been a happy day, and I fall in love all over again with the beautiful smiles of our Emma:) And I know there will be a day when I miss even the tough days, just to have her be a baby again. I'm trying to soak up and enjoy every moment!
Speaking of miss Emma Rae...she is awake and calling for me!
Bye for now!!
