Grace has started calling sweet Emma "Emmy" these past few days, and it's pretty darn cute. This babe has really racked up the nicknames since her entrance into the world - Em, Em&Em, Emmeline The Great (Dad's fave), Emma-baby and now Emmy. Nicknames she may want to forget one day include Booger, Chub-a-bub, Squish and my little Roly Poly :) Her baby rolls and cute, strong baby thighs are a few of my most favorite things on earth right now. They are just so stinkin' squeezable!
At her 6 month check-up today, baby girl weighed in at 19 lbs. 2.5 oz. (94%) and 27.5 in (96%). Still a growing machine! She's loving solids and moving through new foods like a breeze. Emma is also quite the nurser still, so weaning is proving a bit more difficult than I hoped. I love the connection we have and quiet one-on-one time nursing provides, but also longing for a few stress-free date nights and getaways in the upcoming future :) Happy baby, happy mama at the end of the day though so we shall see!
In other news, our big 6 month old is officially sitting on her own, rolling like a crazy woman and just started army crawling a few weeks ago! She's also "planking" and rocking back and forth up on all fours in a I really want to crawl for real way. Such a strong girl. Emma recently sprouted her bottom two middle teeth and is drooling up a storm. As strong-willed and determined as I can already tell she's going to be, she's also much more sensitive than Grace ever was at this age. The smallest things really send her into a tizzy, and her infrequent breakdowns are heart-wrenching when they happen. She's just so sweet.

| Emma's 6 month birthday just happened to fall on Easter. Hence the necessary onesie sticker! |
Grace, much like her Mother at this age, felt the need to be the center of attention mid-photoshoot. She insisted that a few pictures be taken of her with "HER baby sister". On a side note, we're slightly worried (and also adoring) Grace's claim over Emma these days. She's quite the protector! If Emma keeps up her growing though, I have a feeling the roles may end up reversed...

| Playing sweetly. Amazing how interested Grace has become in all these 6+ month toys lately... |

| Oh Emma! Mom is sorry. She just loves you so much though. |
