Emma and Green Beans

Emma's First Veggie

Today Emma tried out her very first vegetable - green beans. I don't think she liked it very much, but she did eat a few spoon fulls. By the end she was wearing more than she was eating!Washing Green Beans Down With The Sippy Cup

Emma also did some shopping at Target with Grandma and me the other day. She's ready to sit like a big girl!

Emma's Stats

Emma went to the doctor today for her 6 month check up. Once again she was an all-star and Mommy cried! Those darn shots get me every time. She loved playing with the paper on the table - crinkling it up and kicking it around.

She now weighs 16 pounds 11 ounces and is 27 inches long. I couldn't believe her weight - if you would have asked me to estimate her weight I would have said close to 20 pounds!! She is a hefty 16 pound baby girl!

We got the go ahead on starting veggies, which we will do tomorrow. That should be interesting!

Emma - 6 Months Old

Today May 25th - Emma turned 6 months old. She has changed so much in the recent weeks. She sits up all by herself. She can bend down to pick up toys and sit right back up. She has improved on her throwing skills - as she loves to pick up toys and toss them or just bang them on the nearest object - sometimes this includes her head!

She has gotten her first tooth and it seems like the other bottom tooth is coming in also. In addition, she had been playing with her top gums - a sign that the top teeth are coming in perhaps!

Her latest thing is making razzberries - she has been working on it for a while - but tonight she perfected it!

Emma had her first sleepover without Bryan or I this weekend. Bryan took me to Boston on Saturday and Emma spent the day/night with Grandma and Grandpa. All reports were good - it seems that it was harder on me than her! This weekend Emma also went swimming for the first time. She loved it! Bryan inflated her swim toy - she put on her bathing suit - which barely fit over her chunky thighs. And she swam in Grandma and Grandpa's pool for a while.

I can't believe that Emma is already half way to her 1st birthday. I remember bringing her home like it just happened yesterday.

Here are some new pictures - with videos to follow tomorrow! Emma also has her 6 month check up on Wednesday - so check back for her latest stats!

Another First...

Today Emma got her very first tooth! I could hardly believe that my little baby girl had gotten a tooth - but sure enough there was the beginning of her first pearly white. No wonder she hasn't been sleeping so great, drooling all the time and biting down on her fingers. It will be so weird to see Emma smile with teeth!

In addition to her new tooth - Emma has changed a lot in the last month - the last week. She is usually a pretty happy baby - she giggles, laughs and smiles all the time! She has a very good sense of humor. And I think she has spoken her first word - it's a very soft "hiiii". She says it to Gabby, to little children at Bryan's softball game and to people walking by in the mall. It's so cute - I will try to get it on video! And I promise more pictures soon!
