6 months

Emma you are...
Age: 6 months (as of July 17th) Happy 1/2 Birthday!
Height: 26.2 inches (63%tile)
Weight: 15.2 pounds (32 %tile)
Head: 16.7 inches (50 %tile)

Eating: Formula-mostly every 4 hours, but sometimes 3, we still have you on sensitive formula for your gasiness; Baby food-fruit and oatmeal for breakfast, veggie and oatmeal for lunch and dinner

Your schedule looks something close to this:
5:00 bottle
8:30 fruit/oatmeal
9:00 bottle/nap
12:00 veggie/oatmeal
1:00 bottle/nap
4:00 bottle
6:00 veggie/oatmeal
6:30 bath
7:00 bottle/bed

Sleeping: You have slept through the night for the last 3 nights (They say third is a charm, and I hope I'm not jinxing myself!) Before these last 3 days, you still woke up around 12:00 am and 4:00 am. You go down between 6:30 and 7:00 pm. We've tried to make you last later, and it just doesn't work! You have been waking up between 4:30 and 5:30 am. Then you go back to sleep until about 6:30 or 6:45 am. You take two naps a day. A morning nap around 9:00 am and an afternoon nap around 1:00 pm. Your naps last anywhere between 45 minutes and 2 hours. Your afternoon nap is usually longer.

Teeth: none...YET! You drool ALL day. We say we could fill up a gallon jug in a day (see picture above!) You also love you chew on ANYthing. Your favorite thing to chew on is your hand!

Clothes/Diapers: You wear size 3-6 months (getting snug) and 6-9 months. Unlike your brother, you almost always wear clothes true to your age. You wear a size 2 diaper, but I see you moving up to a size 3 soon.

Talking: You babble a lot. Especially in the mirror or to other babies. It's so cute!

Things you love: your brother-you absolutely adore  him! (see video at the end for proof!); being held or someone singing to you; snuggling with your blanket; our dogs-Moose cracks you up and you love petting Lola; taking a bath- we recently took you out of your infant bath and just bathe you in the "big bathtub" with an infant ramp. You love being able to splash around in the water; sweet potatoes, carrots, green beans, and pears

Tricks: you can almost sit up. The pictures are very convincing I know! You do well for 20-30 seconds and then you tip! Usually to one side but sometimes backwards. You can roll over from your back to front, but not your front to back. Which leads me to....

Things you dislike: laying on your stomach! (oh how we wish you would learn to roll from stomach to back) I am honestly convinced you may never crawl and just go straight to walking. I'm not sure we will ever be able to get you on your stomach long enough to get you to crawl. You throw the biggest fit! Other things you don't care for: riding in the car; being entertained by the same toy for more than 10 minutes; sometimes strangers; bananas and sometimes apples
