Emmy is 7 months!

Phew!  What an exciting time of year!  It's been amazing to see how you are changing everyday!

I think you are over 18 pounds, based on the scale at Grandma's house.  I don't know how great it is...

You're sleeping a little better sometimes, but not great all the time.  We are really working on sleeping in your crib for your first nap and in my bed for a second.  You are rarely taking a third nap.  Bedtime is earlier because of it, close to 7. 

You are wearing 6-9 month clothes, medium fuzzi bunz and size 3 paper.
Everything is still going into your mouth, Still NO teeth!!  I can't believe it!

You are still preferring me to others, but for the right toy you will let me put you down, which has made me much more productive.
You are a great sitter, up on all fours rocking back and forth, scooting backwards, and MAD that you can't go forward!  You roll to get to things you want, and nothing is safe :) 
You are nursing less, and eating some.  You still are much picker than your brothers were, but apples, bananas cut up and oatmeal usually are acceptable.  You only eat about 3 bitefuls on a good meal.  I'm not great about feeding you everyday though so I am working on that.  You like cheerios or puff, but rarely get them in your mouth.

 After a particularly messy lunch :)
SO big, while blowing raspberries!

Emmy is 6 months (just a little late)!

I can't believe my baby is half a year old!  It seems like I was just pregnant yesterday and yet, it seems like Em has always been here!
From your doctor's appointment you are 16 pounds and 10 ounces, 27.5 inches long...  Tall and skinny. And only slightly above average. 
You're sleep is pretty bad, between mom wanting to cuddle and being on vacation you sleep most if not all night with mom. 
You're entire schedule is off except you always nap in the afternoon between 1230-330 and you always go to bed around 730.  You cat nap in the morning most days and sometimes right before bed

You are wearing 6-9 month clothes, medium fuzzi bunz and size 3 paper.
Everything goes into your mouth, you would think that you would have teeth, but none yet!  Much later than your brothers.
You love toys and want to be entertained more.  Measuring cups and spoons are a favorite.  You also loved a car seat pull toy we borrowed.
You will sit in things, but prefer to be held ALL THE TIME!  Mostly by mom.  You really prefer her to everyone else, and won't let her be seen and not be the one holding you. 
Now that you are sitting up more you are okay being on the ground with lots of toys all around you, but your brothers don't let that happen too often.
You had your first taste of food on your 6 month birthday and hated it. 
You had your first ear infection and hopefully that isn't a trend starting.
You are sitting for short periods before you tuck and roll onto your tummy.  (She is up on all fours rocking in real time:)

Emmy you are such a great little girl, I look forward to each day with you!
