Emily's 6 month stats

Emily had her 6 month well-baby check up today.

27" long (90th %)

20 lbs. (off the charts!)

Doc says she is developing great. She still tilts her head a little bit to the left. Could be an issue or it could be that she just likes to hold her head that way. The doctor mentioned that some babies who have some sort of vision issue hold their heads like that. So Emily will go see the eye doctor in two weeks. If nothing else, we are just ruling out things...

Ivy's party and Emily is 6 months old!!!

Richard and his girls...

Ivy had her birthday party this past weekend. We ended up with about 15 kids. Some were preschool friends, some were church friends (some both), and some were friends of the family. I think all the kids had a great time. And by the end, all the kids were tired and ready to head home.

Emily is 6 months old today!!

These past 6 months have FLOWN by!

She is pretty much sitting up by herself. I definitely put a pillow behind her just in case she leans back too far. She rolls all around. She is excellent at falling asleep on her own. I just put her in her crib and she's asleep within a few minutes. She loves oatmeal cereal. I've tried some various baby foods but cereal is her favorite (which is funny because Ivy hated cereal and wouldn't eat it at all!). We go for her 6 month check-up on Monday - I'll have her height and weight and percentages then...

Ivy wanted to dress up to play outside while I took a few pictures of Emily. Here's one of her running around...she is SUCH A GIRL!!

(please excuse the long grass/onions - we haven't mowed yet)

Ivy turns 3...

First I'll start with a few random pictures...

Here's our little chunk!!

It's been drool city around here - Emily is getting her two front teeth on the bottom.

They aren't poking through yet but it won't be long...

Ivy sharing her toys (this is a rare occurance - I can't believe I caught it on camera!)

Ivy went to a couple of birthday parties at the beginning of the month...

One at a bounce house...

And a princess party!

Then it was Ivy's turn!! The morning of her birthday she got to the top of the stairs and yelled down, "I'm THREE!!!!" She got to open a few presents that morning but we wanted to wait until Daddy was home from work before we got into the real celebrating!

Here's Ivy with her new Lalaloopsy Doll (I have no idea what this is, she wanted one!)

Some new books - Fancy Nancy and Purpalicious

That night, we ended up in the kitchen (don't ask me why the kitchen...) putting together a present. To be funny, I sat Emily in Ivy's doll stroller. It was perfect for her. She could sit up and see but it was sitting her down enough that she couldn't fall out! She loved it!

More assembly of the Cinderella vanity...

Ivy had a special VIP day at preschool to celebrate her birthday. I took cupcakes and juice as a special snack.

Me and my sweet girl on her VIP day at school.

Ivy's cake...

Make a wish!!!
