So, sorry I haven't posted lately, been busy busy!! Emmie turned 6 months old on Monday!! Time is flying by! She is eating her feet, hands, toes and anything else she can get to her mouth!! She is smiling, laughing, playing and melting my heart each and every day. I think she is starting to get into "I want mommy" stage. Sometimes when Paul or anyone else is playing/holding her and she gets fussy, I will go get her and like magic, she is all better! She is starting to "reach" for me/Paul when we go up to her or when I walk in the door at daycare, she just goes nuts smiling and giggling and reaching until I come pick her up. She looks when you call her name and is really starting to grab and play with toys. She started eating some fruits and veggies, but still mostly nurses from me. When I'm around, she will NOT eat food, but when I'm not around (at daycare, etc) she barely takes her bottle now?! So, I am going to try and start weaning her to a bottle/food only over the next few weeks. I look forward to not having to be so restricted on going out and about to hurry and get back before her feeding schedule, but I will admit, I am kinda sad to "let go" of that special bonding time she and I have together when she nurses. After work, I enjoy just talking to her and having some quiet time after a long, hard day at work.
Anyway, we went to the doctor today and she is just growing perfectly and is a healthy little baby. Still small for her age in the weight, but her height is GREAT. Here are her measurements:
Head - 41 cm (12%)
Weight - 13 lbs. 2 oz. (6%)
Height - 25.5 in (40%)
She is just amazing and I fall more and more in love with her every single day! I haven't been doing a great job of taking pictures lately, but I will take some over the weekend and post them early next week!! Hope you all have a great weekend!

I hate having to take Jack to daycare but one of my VERY favorite things is picking him up from there. He is never so happy to see me as when I get him from daycare. I get excited just walking down the hall to get him:)
Can't wait to see pictures!
Awh, that age is so much fun!! I used to brag to Jason when the girls would cry for me! She sounds like she is growing like a weed and is going to be tall. I am glad to hear all is well up your way!
Don't worry--I also have a 'little' one that prefers his mommy over anyone else!!! But, I LOVE it!! Makes you feel good, doesn't it?
I weaned Sawyer about three weeks ago and it was kind of hard at first; however, I do like that fact that I don't have to be 'available' for him at ALL times. The only time he had a bottle was at daycare and he REFUSED it any other time!!! It is amazing how smart they are to figure out those things so early on. He's doing A LOT better now and is enjoying his Enfamil--just so darn expensive($30a week.) I can't wait to see pictures of your beautiful little girl(aka--your clone)!!!!! :)
Andrew has just started to reach for me and I just love it! Like Julie said, it makes you feel good when they want to come to you!
Can't wait to hear some more great couponing and shopping trips!
