| Emory's monthly photo shoot with "Ellie-phant" |
Emory turned 6 months old on Sunday.
We couldn't be prouder or happier. Here are his milestones:
Dear Emory,
Your biggest accomplishment was learning to roll from your back to your belly (on your Mommy's birthday); you’ve gotten really good at it.
You’ve started inch-worming around; often times we find you have scootched off your pallet. Just recently you've figured out how to scootch over pillows. Modifications are in order. :)
You enjoy jumping up and down in our laps.
You can now reach up with both arms to signal you want to be picked up.
Your tenderness simply melts our hearts; lucky for us you LOVE to be held and snuggled. We love your gentle face and arm strokes, babies don’t come any sweeter.
Most of the time you are content and a quiet baby, you whine only when you are tired and ready for a nap/bed.
You've learned how to make squeally noises with your mouth when you are excited.
You are ticklish; especially under your arms and on the bottoms of the feet. Hearing you giggle makes us laugh.
You drink 7 ounces of formula when you wake up in the morning and every 4-6 hours thereafter. You are on regular formula now, reflux is pretty much gone. Hooray!
You love to eat your solid foods. At breakfast you eat rice cereal followed by a 4 ounce bottle of formula. You love your vegetables; so far you’ve had squash and peas. This week you will have your first fruits.
You take 3-4 naps a day and each nap lasts 20 minutes to an hour. You are awake approximately 12 hours a day and sleep about 12 hours. Now that you are 6 months old (and very wiggly), you will transition from our bed to your crib, I think this move will be harder for us than for you. :( Your bedtime is 10:00ish pm and wake up around 6:30ish a.m.
You're still using your "sussy" (pacifer), especially after drinking your bottle and to help you fall asleep. You have mastered picking it up and placing it in your mouth.

Today at your 6 month check-up, you weighed 22 pounds, 2 ounces and measured 28.5 inches long. You are our gentle giant. :o) Doc said you looked and sounded great. You received five shots; including your flu shot (1st dose).
You wear 12-18 month clothes and size 2 shoes. You went from a size 4 diaper to a size 5. You still fit into size 4’s but wearing 5’s makes it easier for us, as your brother wears size 5’s as well.
Your have beautiful hazel eyes. Your eyes sometimes appear brown and sometimes blue depending on lighting.
Your bald little head has
We are so blessed and overjoyed to be you mommies. You are perfect in every way. xoxo
p.s. It's time to start planning your 1 year birthday celebration!!!
