She loves to eat baby food. I think more than she likes to nurse actually. Carly definitely loved to nurse and wasn't a huge fan of baby food. Emma is quite the opposite. She has enjoyed rice cereal, carrots, squash, green beans, peas, and we just started apple sauce. Right now we feed her twice a day and I nurse her probably 5 times a day. She does really well with veggie straws and her little Gerber puffs. Carly LOVES feeding her these.
Emma has go-go-gadget arms. If something is in sight that she wants, she is stretching her arms as far as she can to get it. And always gets it.
Emma is so smiley and giggly. Emma LOVES Carly and it just melts my heart to see how much they adore each other. They give each other the biggest smiles and the biggest giggles every morning. It's like they missed each other over night. :)
Emma is a expert army crawler. She can get anywhere super fast. Especially if she knows she isn't allowed to have it or if Carly was playing with it and puts it down.
She is starting to go from sitting position to all fours by herself! She gets in that position and either goes down to her belly or stays on her hands and knees and rocks. It is so fun to see this change just in the past few days!
Emma has stopped sleeping through the night. Vacation kind of messed this up! Ugh. But we have found that this girl has a set of lungs and that she can scream for hours if we let her. Some nights I feel she never stops crying. It depends on the night. Sometimes I get up and nurse her and she falls right back to sleep without a peep. Some nights I let her cry because it's the cry that she does when she wakes up just for a few minutes and I know she'll go right back to sleep. Either way, not sleeping through the night has been kicking my butt! I am exhausted. #mommyproblems
We had to buy Emma a new bumper for her crib. When she is screaming in her crib she kicks and ends up with her head right against the side railings. She doesn't stop kicking and so for a little bit she would wake up with welts on her head. :( We had a breathable bumper for Carly and was using it for Emma. But this wasn't doing anything for Emma. She had huge welts and I was done with it. We were hoping she would learn not to go against the crib and fall asleep. But I just bought a new padded bumper and it works great!
Emma still isn't a huge fan of people. She will smile at them if we are the ones holding her. Even for our friends who watch the girls so we can go on dates, she cried and cried for them too. :( Breaks my heart knowing that she cries for so long for other people.
Emma is wearing 6-9 month clothing. And wears a size 3 Target brand diaper. We have switched diapers quite a few times because they both have sensitive skin. Target brand is working great for Emma.
Emma has her ears pierced!! We got them done on her 6 month 'birthday'. I love them. They make her look so girly. I clean them every day and we haven't had any problems with them. She plays with them sometimes but they don't seem to even bother her.
Emma is a huge fan of the stroller. We have a Graco double stoller. Jeremy has taken them on walks these last few days so I can get a quick nap. He says Emma is so chill the whole time. We went out today to get Carly some boots and shoes for winter and Emma was super chill in her stroller then too! It was Carly that was a basket case. Emma loves being in front and Carly will climb up in that seat so she can be the one looking at us while we push. Or she walks beside and holds on.
I told Carly that we were going to take some pictures of Emma. Carly sits on the blanket and reaches up ready for Emma to sit with her to get some pictures. haha. She knows how to do this.
