7 Months

Sorry this update is a little late. It seems like the time is just flying by! Matt and I will often sit and talk about how lucky we are. Emma is such a fun little girl and we are so blessed by her. Here are some updates.

Emma is now 17 1/2 pounds and a little over 27 inches long. She is napping pretty regularly in the morning and afternoon. However, if we aren't home, the nap doesn't generally happen. She is a big flirt and will often smile at men she meets in the grocery store or out shopping. She is a little more hesitant with women. Uh oh... She can now sit up by herself (finally!) although she will topple over now and again. She smiles and laughs at Hudson. She makes funny little snorting sounds when she "kisses" you on the cheek. She has now tried peas, squash, carrots, sweet potatoes, apple/mango, bananas, and peaches. She LOVES yogurt. I think if we would let her, she'd eat yogurt at every meal. I finally found a cute pair of sparkly pink shoes that actually fit her and it turns out that she threw one of them over the side of the stroller while we were in the mall yesterday, which I didn't realize until we got home. She still has no teeth, although the drooling continues. She has a LOT to say and frequently enjoys screeching at me about something that appears to be rather important to her. Although we are a little biased, we think she gets cuter all the time. Love you Emma C.!
