I tried to get Emily to show her teeth, but to no avail. She looks so adorable with her four teeth on top and three on the bottom. She just started eating baby food, but she is still not real interested in it. She loves her sister, Lily, and laughs at our dogs all the time.
Emily started sitting up for a few minutes at a time about a week ago. She is so funny. She does great and then all of the sudden she just falls over.
I took Emily for her 6 month check-up at the doctor's today. She continues to amaze the doctor. When he tried to get her to grab his fingers and sit up, she did it with such force that he just stared at me with his mouth wide open. He keeps saying, "She is going to be trouble, I am warning you!" He says that it is great that she is doing so well, but in his 40 years of experience, those are the kids who are a handful and you can never predict what they will do next. She got two shots and an oral vaccine. I have never heard her cry so loud before...I felt so bad. Her are her stats:
One of the nightly rituals for the girls is reading with Larry. He loves to read to them and they love it too. Lily gets to pick out the books that are read.
Emily is holding toys in her hands for short periods of time and loving the exposure to new things. She adores her older sister, Lily, and will constantly look for her and watch her every move.
Well the day has come for Lily to start using a fork and spoon. She is so excited and does very well. She turned 18 months last Sunday. See what a big girl she is?
I put Emily in the Bumbo seat for the first time the other day. She loves to see life from a sitting up position. She is amazingly strong. When I am feeding her her bottle and she is laying on my lap, she just sits up on her own, quite incredible for just barely four months old. I took Emily and Lily for their check-ups and shots today and they were so good. The doctor said they were both far ahead developmentally which he commended me for. It sure made me feel like I am doing my job to the best of my ability. He was amazed to see Lily doing her sign language as she looked at the ceiling lights. When he left the room, I could hear him as he went down the hallway telling everyone, "It is amazing!! Those girls are so advanced developmentally, I can't believe it!" Emily now weighs 13 pounds and she is 22 inches tall. Lily is 22.12 pounds and 30 inches tall. They are both in the 50th percentile for weight. Emily is in the 10th percentile for height and Lily is in the 35 percentile for height. It was a great doctor visit.
