I figure it's better late than never, right? ha! She was technically six months 22 days ago ;-) At least I'm writing her six month update before she's seven months!
Holy smokes, how has this sweet angel been in our lives for HALF OF A YEAR already??? Each day has been a blessing, whether it was struggle or breeze. We have had our fair share of both. In the last six months we have watched Emma Claire's spunky and sweet personality really develop. This month has been so fun, then again I say that every month. As much as I miss my teeny tiny baby I am loving this fun, energetic, daring, and smart baby. There are certain days that I would give anything to pause time. Just to enjoy this sweet stage even more. Then we have days like yesterday when bedtime cannot come fast enough. The hubs and I feel so blessed that God has chosen us to be Emma Claire's parents. He constantly says, "How did we get so lucky to be the parents of the best, most beautiful baby on the planet?" I swear he says that at least once a day. Emma Claire has her daddy wrapped around her tiny little finger already.
Such a sweet little face.
Funny story...before this picture she would NOT sit still for even a second to let us take her picture. The hubs was dancing around behind me, we were holding up dogs, squeaking toys and NOTHING. She was a wiggle worm who was not interested in sitting pretty for a picture. So what did we do? Called Grammy (my mom). Every time we put my mom on speaker phone Emma Claire lights up and smiles SO BIG. It is just the sweetest thing. She loves her Grammy!
Pre Grammy phone call. See? ha! She is such a little stinker!
Oh my sassy sassy little girl. Toddler years will be entertaining, I can already tell!
Dear Emma Claire, Here is what you've been up to this month.
Eating: You are still loving food! You have now had sweet potato, banana, peas, apples, pears, avocados, grapes, and more I'm sure. I feel like I'm missing a few! You still love nursing and it is one of your favorite past times.
Sleeping: Sleep is getting better, not quite as many nights up in the middle of the night thankfully. You've had several sleep through the night nights in a row.
Firsts: You met the Easter Bunny and we celebrated your first Easter, Daddy FINALLY made it to a Drs appointment, about time! You got your first bookshelf, you also became the proud owner of Sophie the giraffe, you went to the zoo for the first time, on April 18th you sat up for the first time, you got your first high chair a Jenny Lind that Mommy is going to paint for you when we move,
Clothes: You are now in size 3-6 month and still a size 2 diaper. I think you weigh about 15 pounds. Not sure exactly.
Mommy Moments: I have just love experiencing things through your eyes this month, Emma Claire. Taking you to the zoo, watching you sit up so proudly for the first time, telling you the story of the resurrection and celebrating Easter together. I can't wait to see what the next month brings us, sweet girl. I love you.
Love, Mommy

Let me put it to you this way. It's a really good thing our factory is closed or #4 would be on it's way. She looks like such a joy (of course that includes a lot of tough times), but truly, you are blessed. :)
Could the "Grammy" phone call story be any cuter? Oh my. Love it. :) Sweet, sweet (stinkerish) girl. Lol.
She is, by far, the cutest little 6 month old I know! Emerson does the same thing when she hears her Mimi's voice. She loves talking to her on FaceTime. That is awesome that she is sitting up so well! I love that stage because they really seem to start noticing everything around them. All of the pictures are adorable- you definitely have yourself a precious baby girl. Happy 6 months (and 22 days) Emma Claire!
Happy 6 Months, Emma Claire! I love all the outtakes - we have plenty of those too! 6 months was SUCH a fun stage, I got so many good pictures once Liam could sit up and smile but couldn't go anywhere :) Hurry up and get as many pictures as you can before she starts crawling, haha!
