Our Growing (Too Fast) Girl

Our little Emerson Ruth is growing WAY to fast. I feel like time is absolutely flying by. She is 6.5 months old already! Emerson continues to entertain us with her silly personality. Her dramatic facial expressions and loud "talking" make us all laugh. She loves her feet, and you might just find her sucking on them in her carseat or in her bed. Emerson loves her big sisters too, and nobody can make her laugh like they can. She perks up when they walk in the room and has even cried when they leave her to play "big girl" things. Emerson has discovered Gerber "Puffs"-- and she loves them! She hasn't quite mastered the pincher grab, but when she does manage to get a puff in her mouth she is seriously pleased with herself. We still can't decide who she favors, because she really looks a bit like both girls. She is sweet, snuggly, and her eyes are super sparkly! One thing I am certain of is that Emerson has all four of us wrapped around her tiniest finger!

The girls and I took Emerson for her 6 month (more like 6.5) well baby visit today. She is healthy and growing. Emerson weighed in at 18 pounds (between 85th and 90th percentile) and measured 27 inches long (also between 85th and 90th percentile). She recovered quickly from her shots and decided to rip her own band aids off in the car. All in all an uneventful visit to the doctor-- the best kind!
