Happy half birthday baby girl! It’s crazy that 6 months has already gone by!

This little girl continues to grow, weighing at 13 lbs 11oz and wears 0-3 month clothes and is just starting to fit into her 6 month outfits! She smiles and laughs all the time and she’s developed such a personality.  I’ve noticed her personality is a bit more like mine – when she’s around people she doesn’t know she’s quiet and shy and tends to just take everything in, but when she’s at home, she is all over the place and yells and squeals all day long.

She still is scared of strangers, still doesn’t like food – though she had a really good day where she ate sweet potatoes, green beans and carrots and begged for more. She loves her milk though, drinking 6oz every 3-4 hours. She’s always touching her toes and just discovered her hands and will sit memorized by them. She also likes to imitate us, for example she fake coughs all the time. She still sleeps great and all night, though we just had a week where getting her to fall asleep in her crib was a challenge, but I think we’ve made it over that hurdle!

We can’t wait to see what the next 6 months holds, but we also wouldn’t mind if time slowed down!

Here’s a day in the life of Emerald at 6 months:

She was sitting so well this morning, we just had to take some photos. I know everyone always thinks their baby is the cutest, but oh man is she cute. And can we talk about her eyebrows?
