Six Months Old

Our little Emily is growing up so fast.  It's still hard for me to believe that she is our little girl.  I find myself at times just staring into her blue eyes, trying to take in all the goodness that she radiates and thanking Heavenly Father for sending this angel into our family.  I'm not sure I can find words to say how much we love Emily and the joy she has brought into our family.

Here are some things about her at this stage:

• she loves to snuggle her blanket (or anything soft) by her face
• she tries to such her thumb (I quickly remove the thumb and insert a binki)
• she sits up
• she likes rice cereal
• she does not like to be wrapped in a blanket to sleep (she likes to kick her legs and move them around)
• she has a very serious face that almost looks like a scowl
• she smiles with her eyes
• she is a peacemaker in our home
• everything she gets her hands on goes straight to her mouth
• 13 pounds 10 ounces, 26 inches
