Emma at 6 Months

Guess who's six months?!? I know! I can hardly believe it myself. She's getting so big no matter how many times I tell her to STOP GROWING! Emma is a full of life and laughter, sparkly eyed, chubby cheeked little sweetheart and we love her so. She is always changing but we haven't come to a stage we don't love. Every month Sam says "if only she would just stop right now, I love where she's at!" Then another month goes by and he'll say the same thing. 

This past month has brought a lot of fun new adventures. We visited two pumpkin patches, hung out with cousins, went on two fun hikes in Cedar Canyon and admired the fall leaves, spent a few nights in St. George visiting grandmas, grandpa, aunt, and uncles, played in the river a couple of times, tried out the swing at the park (again and again because she loved it), and had a fun Halloween party! We can't wait to see what new adventures await us next month!

A few things about miss Emma at 6 months:

• Emma can sit up all by herself and loves to sit and play with the blocks that aunt Jessie gave her.
• Emma tried pumpkin puree this month and it's her new favorite! She loves pumpkin with cinnamon, squash, zucchini, avocado, and of course her rice cereal.
• Emma loves to "talk" and can often be heard throughout the house shouting "NA NA NA NA!"
• Emma likes to "whisper" in the morning after mom comes to get her when she first wakes up.

• Emma's first tooth is on it's way! She hasn't been too happy about that.
• Emma loves our dog Daisy and watches her constantly! She is always trying to grab at the poor thing's ears.
• Emma loves to go to primary with mom and dad and always smiles and laughs at the children.
• Emma also loves to go to work with mom because she gets so much attention from all of the girls.

• Emma takes her sleep pretty seriously (most of the time). She sleeps all night and takes two or three naps during the day-she's gotta have energy to play hard during the day.
• Emma LOVES her door bouncer and can get quite a bit of air in it. 
• She likes to hang out in the kitchen with mom and play with all of the measuring cups-they're her favorite.
• She's getting super good at picking things up and of course, putting them right into her mouth.
• She has a million nicknames given to her by various family member including Miss Belle, Stinker Belle, The Cracken (When she decides to throw tantrums), Little sweet, Little doll, Big eyes, Bunkin, and Bug. 

She is a very fun, happy, and majorly outgoing girl and she lights up our world! She is just the greatest in our entirely biased opinion. Happy six months Emma Belle!
