Experiments in Life

Wow, I can hardly believe how time flies. Our little Emily is 6 months old now. I think I say the same thing everytime I post new stats on her. Well, it truly is amazing to me. I didn’t realize how much time would speed up once I became a parent.

Anyhoo, here are the new stats on our little one. She sure is growing like a weed. It won’t be long before she is taller than me

weight: 17 lbs (75th percentile)
head circumference: 44 cm (75th percentile)
length: 27 1/4 inches long (90th percentile)

I am surprised she is not heavier than she is. We have started her on solid foods now and she can’t seem to get enough of them. Her favorites are sweet potatoes (thanks to Aunt Sissy for that one ) and green beans. Of course, the green beans must be a different brand and come in a jar. My, she is picky! She hasn’t slowed down on the formula so she is still eating at least 5-7oz. bottles a day and solids 1-2x per day. I cannot wait to give her some cheerios. I would have given them to her last night, but she went to sleep around 4:30 and stayed that way until about 8. Then she ate and went right back to sleep around 8:45 and did not wake up again until 4:30 this morning. Even then she was only up for an hour before she took an hour nap before going to daycare this morning. Shots are a nasty business, but good for wearing out a little girl who does not like napping at daycare.

Long live the nap resitance!

That’s all I’ve got for now. We’ll soon be heading to Nana Jo and Papa Doc’s house for Christmas. So, stay tuned for Christmas pictures and stories. I’m sure we’ll have lots of both.

Merry Christmas to all

As promised, here are the rest of the pictures from Thanksgiving.

Although it is almost Christmas, I have finally gotten pictures up from Thanksgiving holiday. The rest will be coming soon…
