Happy 6 Months!

First off, let me say. . .I can't believe my baby is already 6 months old!!!  The time has just flown by!

Here's what's happening with Emily at 6 months:

 - She's wearing 3-6 month clothes.

 - We've made some progress on the naps.  She still doesn't  have a schedule, but we have gotten her to take a nap in her crib every so often. 

 - She still drinks 6 oz. every 3 hours.  As for solids. . .it continues to be a work in progress.  We give her rice cereal and 1/2 jar of stage 1 foods each night.  She usually will take about 5 or 6 bites before she's done.  As of now, she's tried pears and sweet potatoes.  I think she likes sweet potatoes better.  And is still not a fan of the rice cereal at all.

 - She loves to stick out her tongue.

 - She's switched from being a side sleeper to a tummy sleeper.  This made me a nervous wreck at first, but she seems to move less during the night when she's on her tummy, so I don't get so nervous about this now.  I love how she sticks her little booty in the air when she sleeps on her tummy.

 - She can sit up on her own for a few seconds.

 - She's not mobile just yet, but she's still trying very hard to pull her knees up under her.  And she gets extremely frustrated very easily.

 - She loves playing with her feet and she's been trying very hard to get them in her mouth.

 - She can fit her entire fist in her mouth (how many people can say that).

 - She's so aware of what's around her.  If it's in her reach, she wants to grab it. 

 - She loves to play in her excersaucer.

 - She is overall a really happy baby.  She gets so excited whenever Shawn or I walk into the room.

 - She's still a big fan of the pacifier.  She seems to "talk" less now, but I think that's because she has a pacifier in her mouth much more often. 

 - So far, this is by far my favorite age!  She's still little enough to want to cuddle with me, but is aware enough to want to play too.

Happy 1/2 Birthday Emily!  We love you and can't wait to see what the next 6 months bring!!!
