Yesterday Emily saw Dr. Edwards (our pediatrician) for her six month checkup. And not to our surprise her weight, length and head circumference are all in the 90-95th percentile. It continues to amaze us that she has food allergies because she is certainly getting enough nutrients! She has rolls of fat on her legs. Her cheeks are so kissable and you just want to hold her dimply hands and arms all the time!
Emily's latest achievements include rolling every which way and getting up on her hands and knees and rocking. Soon she will be crawling, maybe...maybe....because she can roll to anywhere she wants to go and she's fast. She has also started eating solids. This has been kind of fun because I have to make sure everything she eats has no additives. Instead of eating the store bought baby cereal I have learned how to make my own--grind up brown rice in the wheat grinder and cook it like Cream of Wheat. So far she has eaten applesauce, bananas and tonight she ate asparagus for the first time. She was a great example to her older siblings since they are kind of picky about vegetables.
The stats:
Age: 6 months
Date: August 11, 2011
Length: 27.5 inches
Weight: 18 lbs. 5 oz.
Head Circumference: 43.75 cm
We love you so much baby Emily! And feel so blessed to have you in our family.
