Growing like a Weed


Emerson finally had her 6 month doctor visit yesterday. The doctor is quite impressed with Emerson's weight gain. Em is up to 15 lbs 5 oz and is 25 inches long...and is in the 25th percentile in weight and height...at least she is proportionate! I am sure that Emerson will continue to gain weight because it seems like all she is going to do is eat. I am supposed to feed her solids three to four times a day, continue with large amounts of formula and give her juice as desired. She can also have soft table food now, if we wish to give it to her. I'm trying to figure out a feeding schedule because I'm not sure when she is going to fit all this eating into her busy play schedule.

Em's also becoming very active. I am starting to baby proof because she is getting all around the living room by rolling or pulling herself around. She also pulls herself up on her knees so I won't be surprised if she is crawling soon. Let's just say that she is one curious baby and likes to explore!

I just know she'll be crawling around soon - how exciting! And won't she be a happy girl with all the eating she's going to get to do!

It goes without saying, but she just keeps getting more and more beautiful, Dawn - you're a lucky mom!
