Here are a few more pictures for those of you who just can't get enough Emma!

Dixie entertaining Emma

 Emma loves watching Dixie do her tricks.

6 Month Check-up

Here we are at just a couple days shy of 6 months, Emma weighs in at 12 pounds even, and 23.5 inches- in full fuss mode of course!  She's still not quite "on the charts" for percentiles, but she's following the same rate of growth as the normal curves.  She's doing well overall, and keeping us busy!  Mommy is on call this weekend, so hopefully all goes well.  We haven't had a chance to get new pictures loaded recently but will try to do better after the weekend!

Emma is ready for spring!!!

Here are some recent pictures, she's been a happy girl lately, although the last few days have been off and on fussy... we don't know for sure yet, but there may be some little teeth trying to make it out...

Jack just wanted to touch Emma... he's like that, he always wants to make sure you're right there...  But the evil eyes are a funny touch!  Emma has also decided on her own that she's ready for eating regular food- a salad was a good way to start... ha!  She has taken to gnawing on our bowls and glasses while we eat!  We've not yet started any foods, but it seems she'll be ready for it when we do start!

Shadows

Not big news but Emma and I were out today and she saw our shadows.  She liked watching the shadows from me hanging the diapers on the line also.   I don't know if that means there will be 6 more weeks of winter or not. -Daddy

Emma is really digging the "new" dog.  The seat puts her at the best height to play with Dixie.

 

Here is the obligatory naked baby photo.  She tinkled on our bed so the sheets were being washed.  

Sorry the posts are so short but daddy is typing one-handed and wrestling with the other.

Quick update

So we had our first day with my sitter, Amanda.  We had a good time that day.  It has been really nice outside the last few days so I've gotten my Vitamin D the old fashioned way.  I have been helping feed our horses and collecting eggs at night.

I've been starting to try and crawl.  My arms are now going out in front of me and I am pumping my legs but getting no traction with my feet since they are not on the ground.  I'll get it eventually.  Sorry there aren't any pictures for this post, mommy will post some later.
