Emma is 6 months! Half a year! Did we skip a couple of months? I can't believe we have survived as parents and Emma is still surviving us for 6 months already! :)
Emma is sitting up on her own now and loves it! She's not happy at daycare if she isn't sitting up playing with her friends or in the jumper. She is 26 inches tall and weighs 15.5lbs! She was diagnosed with bronchilitis and we had the option of letting it ride out (like we have been for several months now) or we could try breathing treatments. We opted to try the breathing treatments as we are willing to do anything to help our snotty girl! So she is now a proud owner of a purple dragon nebulizer. The doctor said she can tell there are teeth coming soon, they just wont make their appearance. Which would explain the constant drool, chewing on things, and some sleepless nights. Come on tooth, come on!!
We are excited to celebrate Emma's first Christmas! Santa will be coming to daycare on Friday, and we MIGHT brave the mall and go and see Santa there too. We can't wait to see her open presents and play with her new toys!
look at her ruffle butt! ;)
Shes proud of herself for being able to put the paci in by herself!
Thanksgiving was in McKinney this year, and we flew! Emma went on a plane ride for the first time and did GREAT! Our smiley girl was quite the flirt with everyone at the airport and with all of the family. It was good to see all of the family and while there, Emma found her voice. We are in trouble, because it was non stop and loud! :) It cracks us up and she's cute, so she gets away with it. Emma was baptized the Sunday after Thanksgiving and we are so thankful for everyone that was able to make it out and celebrate with us! I am still waiting on some pictures of the baptism, but got a few that I will share now! The 6 month update will be coming very soon!

Emma is still growing and growing like a weed! She has officially learned how to roll over, although she doesn't really like to show mom and dad that she can roll from tummy to back without a fuss and a little help. Daycare told us they had her and another little boy on separate mats and she managed to roll her way to him and started touching him. Speaking of touching, she LOVES feeling and grabbing everything. She has discovered the pugs and loves to put her hands on them and grab them, and she has been watching them a lot. She and Jerry are buds and he is always next to her and following her around. Harley on the other hand just pouts, he's used to being the baby.
In October we took Emma to her first basketball game and she LOVED it. She was mad in the car on the way there because she was hungry, but when we got there she would have nothing to do with the bottle, there was just too much to look at! We sat in a suite for the Rawls College of Business, so I took her to the inside part away from all the action and was able to get some food down. She just loved all the lights and sound so much.
Emma can almost sit up on her own and has found her toes and loves to eat them! She also continues to be our little smiley girl. She is so happy and all smiles most of the time and we love doing whatever we can to make her smile even more! Enjoy the pictures!
