Off The Charts

Our little "munchy" is getting so big! We had her 6 month appointment last week and she weighed in at 20lbs. 4oz. and is 28 3/4" long. She is "off the charts" in everything and wearing 12-18 month clothes! But I guess we shouldn't be surprised considering the size of her parents. It seems like Emma is learning something new everyday. Her favorite thing to do now is sit. She can now sit up completely on her own with no support and play with toys. She grabs all of our cups and tries to drink them, so the doc said it was ok to start her on a sippy cup. She started eating foods and so far has had peas, carrots, apples, bananas, sweet potatoes, and cereal. She loves her "Mimi" more than ever. Her face lights up every time she sees her! She is learning to sleep a little better since her stay in the hospital got her all messed up. She likes to pet the dogs when they come up to sniff her. She grabs just about everything that is put in front of her (which is making it harder and harder to take her out to eat!). She grabbed Papa's coffee cup at brunch and spilled the hot coffee all over her and him (2 times!)! She sat in a high chair for the first time this month. Her hair is so long that we have to pin it to the side with a bow. She had her first "play date" with my friends that I was pregnant with and their babies. She is trying to crawl...gets up but then quickly faceplants into the ground. She loves to look at her dad across the room and smile. If she is lucky he will look back and smile and wave and that sets her off into a "jumping" fit. It is the cutest thing ever. She is definitely a daddy's girl. Her last month has been a healthy one which has been very nice considering all she went through. Munchy continues to be the best thing that ever happened to us. How is it possible to love something this much? I don't know, but I am pretty sure that God is involved:) God is Good!
