6 month checkup

Emma finally had her 6 month checkup even though she will be 7 months on Monday. I can't believe she is almost 7 months old, isn't that crazy! I have really enjoyed the extra time I have gotten to spend with her, the circumstances are the best, but I am enjoying my extra mommy time anyways and looking for a job as well. I'm trying to stay optimistic about the whole job thing because that is me, I'm a very optimistic person and I know that something will work out eventually. :) Emma had a pretty good appt. except for the shots, ugh poor thing got the "snubs" as my cousin Julie likes to say! She also got this look of worry on her face for the first time with the dtr. she started sticking her bottom lip out as if to say I don't think I like you messing with me! She weighed in at 18 lbs, 9 oz and 28 1/4" long, which I think puts her in the 97% for height, but about 75% for weight. I went back and looked to see what Aidan was at 6 months and he was about the same, 18 lbs, 12 oz and 29 1/2" long. She is really starting to do more things lately, she really trying to sit up on her own, I've got a video of that below, I've also got a video of her trying some sweet potatoes for the first time too. Her two bottom teeth are really coming in now and she has started saying Dada, so I guess that is going to be her first word, Aidan's was Mama, so I know that is making Chris happy.

Its a rainy Saturday afternoon and the house is momentarily quiet. Aidan is taking a nap and Chris is downstairs rocking Emma to sleep. So, Momma has some time to herself to update blogs and surf the net and drink coffee, yum! It wont last long so I'm going to add the pictures and video while I have a chance.

Here is Emma sitting up in the highchair like a big girl eating sweet potatoes! If you look closely you can see her teeth coming in on the bottom.

She is just getting cuter every day, I swear! I can't get over how long she looks. Her legs look especially long in those pictures!

She almost looks like she's interested in crawling by the way she went from sitting to her tummy. I wonder if she'll wait as long as Aidan did to get mobile? I bet you're hoping she does!

She looks like she loves those sweet potatoes! Mmmm...

Such a sweet girl. Her blonde hair looks darker. I hope she remains in the 97%in height, it's no fun being "short"!
