6 months

At five months:

Weight:  13.5 pounds

        Percentile: 9%

Height:  26 inches 

        Percentile: 67%

Sleep: Blah...things were going so good but then halfway through this month all of the sudden Emma started sleeping terrible. We had two very rough exhausting weeks and I'm not really sure what to do about it especially since naps have not improved either.
Clothing size: Still 0-3 months (even still fits in some newborns) but we moved up to size 2 diapers because she kept having blow outs so we are trying to figure out a way to keep those to a minimum. 

Milestones: Sitting up with less support, holding up her head during tummy time, smiling and giggling more, talking up a storm

Special Outings: We went to the circus in town, which Emma slept through, to the park a few times, we went to the July Jamboree and Emma loved sitting up in the stroller and seeing everything going on. We went to the parade for the fourth of july with my family, and spent lots of time with grandparents.

Month Highlights: Emma got her shots this month and was only a little fussy a few hours after but overall she did pretty good with them. She loves to play with Elli and there relationship is starting to blossom more and more.

Big Changes: Not any really big changes this month, Emma naps less, is still the happiest kid ever, but is sleeping worse at night.

Emma's Favorites: Chickens. They make her laugh really hard. She loves sitting up, going outside, baths, crinkly books, and chewing on a toothbrush. She also still loves being worn in the k'tan.

Thoughts: Emma is such a joy. She can be a pretty dramatic child going from big smiles to screaming and back again in a matter of seconds. She loves to be able to look around and stand and sit up. She loves her sister and her cousins and everyone that sees her comments on how incredibly happy she is. I miss her like crazy being back at work but it's also good to get out more. I am so excited to start feeding her food and have to stop myself from doing it almost daily, I also am super grateful that my sil can watch her and love the relationship she is building with her cousins. She loves putting things in her mouth so I think she's going to do really good with baby led weaning and I hope it makes her less picky then her sister. She seriously is my favorite baby ever right now and I love interacting with her.
