6 Months!

Well I can't believe it! Mary Emmett is a half of a year old. Its amazing how time has flown by! We went to her check up yesterday. Everything was great. She was 19lbs, 28.5 inches long! Off the charts in height and 95% in weight. She has stayed pretty consistent in the 95% for things! She has been teething so that has been sort of challenging just trying to keep her happy especially in the middle of the night. The Tylenol really seems to help with that and I think we have a good routine going. I haven't seen any teeth but I know they are coming. She puts everything directly into her mouth including my fingers and she bites hard! Also, she finally rolled over. We were so proud of her! Better late than never! She can almost sit up on her own now which will be fun so she doesn't just lay all the time. She is enjoying all of the fruits and vegetables I have made her. She has liked everything except applesauce. I have been surprised that she liked even the veggies that weren't sweet. I thought she might have a sweet tooth like her mama but turns out she likes anything. I guess we are lucky she isn't picky. She loves her Exersaucer and plays in it multiple times per day. I guess thats about it for the updating. Here is a picture of her at 6 months!

Update!

It has been a while since I have posted anything. We have been busy! We went to the beach again for the 4th of July! She still loves the water. She had a great time in MiMi and Papa Doc's pool and then we went down to the ocean 2 times. It was a lot easier having Robbie there to help me tote everything down. The ocean was perfect with little shallow "pools" that the sand had formed so we put her in that and she loved it. We also got this cool kit with plaster to make her footprint out of sand so we did that. I dont have a picture but it was really neat and such a good keepsake of her first visit! Anyway, she is just growing like a weed! She is also teething and I have had to start giving her Tylenol at night before she goes to bed to help her sleep. She has always been such a great sleeper but she started waking up like 2 times a night and I took her to the doctor and they told me she was hungry and teething! Hungry-ha! So now I am giving her oatmeal 3 times a day and fruit 2 times a day. So far she has loved bananas, pears, and sweet potatoes. She didn't like applesauce but maybe its because I dont like it either! ;) After I uped the amount of food and gave her Tylenol, she is back to sleeping 7-7 which mama loves!
Here are some pics of the last couple of weeks!
