My Name is Emma and I'm 6 Months Old


We've made it!  6 months old and everyone is still alive and we are all happy.  Last Saturday we were playing with Emma on our bed wishing we were still sleeping.  With a sly smile Jeff said "I don't think I have slept in in six months".  With an even slyer smile I said "I don't think I have slept through the night in six months..."  Hee hee hee, I win!  I win the pleasure of seeing Emma multiple times in the dead of night.  It is a fabulous prize.  Definitely a motherhood prize.  Yeah for phases!
 Emma is really active and so wonderful.  People ask me how she is doing all the time and the answer is always "She is wonderful".  She is rolling over and sitting up by herself.  We have had a couple of good head bonks but nothing serious.  I finally started sticking her in a laundry basket with a blanket and some toys while we are doing chores just to make sure she doesn't launch her self to the floor.



I have been back to work since mid January and it is going pretty well.  We are truly blessed to have a group of folks taking care of Emma which makes it way easier on me.  It was a little bit of a transition but I know Emma thoroughly enjoys her new friends and the chance to get out of the house.  We have successfully beat our first ear infection and I think we are on the way to seeing some teeth soon.  




We have officially started rice cereal and she gobbles it up.  These are pictures of our first foray into solid food.  We will be trying some new flavors after our 6 month check up.  We have let her suck on a cucumber and apple and she got very excited about it so I think introducing solids will be full of fun and laughter.  Until next time!
