Happy Half-Birthday!



Today was Emma's half-birthday. We had great day: a trip to Target and playing at home. Emma practiced her new words: "ba ba ba" and even a "ma ma" thrown in there! After dinner we celebrated six months with half a cake. Of course, Emma can't eat cake yet, so she had an even better treat--rice cereal. Yum. We started feeding her solids on Saturday. She doesn't spit it out, which is good, but she doesn't get much in either. It's so hard to figure out how that mouth works! At this point it's more like practice than an actual source of nutrition. A special "ba ba ba" (or thanks) to Tyler, Brittany, Mumma and Poppa for their happy half-birthday messages!

Happy Half-birthday Emma! Her little round face is adorable- her cheeks are so full they look like there's rice cereal inside! She is darling, and her milestones are quite impressive.

She looks so cute with her face covered in rice cereal.

By the way, you'll know she's REALLY ready for solid food when you can't put cake in front of her anymore because she'll put her hands in it if you do...

Hey Jessica! I found your blog through Amberly's blog. Emma is darling! She's got beautiful eyes.

So did you know that "ba ba" means "dad" in Chinese? Mom is "ma ma" as it is in every language. Maybe she's trying to talk to Dave in Chinese!

I couldn't find out how to comment on your most recent blog...so I hope you'll find this one! Emma is getting so old! She seems to be growing up so fast! She's longer than Brianna by the way...Brianna is 26 inches even...and she's 9 months old! Unfortunately she seems to have my short genes! She's in the 10th percentile!
Emma is adorable! I love her big beautiful eyes! And cute round cheeks!
