Emery at Six Months

  On December 28th Emery turned six months old.  Emery has learned a new helpful skill:  She can hold her own bottle now.  We were really excited about that since Harper was the laziest baby known to man, and never bothered to acquire that skill.  Emery is sometimes an enthusiastic eater and at other times apathetic.  She really likes bananas so far.  She is still pretty much all smiles, and rolls all over her domain, the family room rug.  On the occasions she makes it off the rug and onto the wood floor she seems really surprised at the new surface.  It doesn't look like crawling is on her agenda anytime soon.  There is also no sign of teeth.  They are taking their own sweet time.  On the other hand she doesn't have much of a bald spot and her head is nice and round.

Emery isn't really sitting up that well yet. 

She really wanted to eat the monkey.

Here's your comparison shot.  She is definitely bigger than that monkey now.
