Here I Am!

I can't believe how much changes in a baby in such a short amount of time. In the span of a couple days, we discovered Emersen getting her two middle bottom teeth in. She sometimes looks like she's dippin tobacco because she sticks her tongue over her new teeth and pushes out her bottom lip. Other times she sucks in a lot or sucks on her tongue. Just this past week, she's sitting up on her own for long periods of time. She can squish low and sit herself back upright. She can catch herself when she leans. She's laughing more now, giggling at daddy a lot. She's saying "da-da" and sometimes on command when Wes asks her to. She doesn't know HE is da-da though of course.

This is Emersen one morning. Gave her a bag to play with...supervised, don't worry. Fortunately, I got to get this picture of her. I kept talking to her so she wouldn't cry or take it off before I got my camera. She was laughing and making her noises the whole time!

This is another place Emersen likes to play. She rolls from her blanket over to the couch and plays with the skirt flap. Sometimes you look down and can only see her feet.

We have our 6 month appointment on Monday. Looking forward to an update on her stats. She's currently eating 4 times a day, every 4 hours. She does 4 bottles for 29 oz of milk a day. She's eating oatmeal and a fruit or veggie twice a day, breakfast and dinner. She LOVES sweet potatoes and carrots. She likes green beans, peas, apples and bananas. She does not like pears much and will NOT eat barley cereal. She has outgrown her size 2 shoes, but isn't quite ready for size 3 all the way, but they'll do. She does 3 naps a day still, her evening nap has shortened. She can stay up 2-3 hours if we're out, not usually while at home. She won't really let you hold her when she's tired - she rubs her eyes, pulls her ear, and wallers. Wes taught me that word. Never used it and only thought pigs did it. But Emersen does it when she's sleepy. And she's back to blowing raspberries with her lips, and now is making some deeper noise where I think she's blowing out through her nose or something.

We pretty much think she's hilarious. And the cutest baby ever. She won't have a complex, will she?
