Sitting Up

It's really hard to get Emery to practice sitting, she makes her whole body stiff and either wants to stand up or lay down. She does just doesn't want to bend at the waist! When we do get her to do it, she will sit for 30 seconds to a minute now before she gets tired and flops over!

Sisterly Love

I know I have said this before, but I just can't get over how good Johanna is wih Emery. She sees her baby sister when Dustin brings her in from the car in the evening and her face lights up. She won't even let him put the car seat down before she sticks her head in it to give Emery kisses. She refers to Emery as "my baby" , "my baby sister" or "my Emery Pearl" I thinks it's funny she tacks on the middle name like that most of the time. This morning I put Emery in bed with Johanna while I went to get her clothes or something and I could hear her talking to Emery over the monitor "HI EMERY PEARL! HI HI!" You can tell that Emery loves her big sister too. She sees Johanna and immediately smiles and reaches for her like she wants to give her a hug! We are so lucky, hopefully this will last... :)

Isabella Mia is here!

Today my brother and his wife welcomed their new daughter into the world! Isabella Mia was born today 9/23 at 2:02 am. She is 7lbs 2.8 oz and 18.75" long. We can't wait to meet her!

dadadada and 6 month checkup.

Emery has been pretty vocal for a long time but she said "dada" this weekend and has been ever since! Dustin is pretending she is actually saying it in reference to him :) Needless to say he is pretty excited about it.

It's amazing how happy Emery is, she is all smiles, all the time, especially since she started the new medication. She must just be so happy not to hurt anymore. I am pretty sure she is getting her first two teeth in so we'll see how that goes. Her bottom gums are pretty swollen and I think I may see the white teeth right underneath. She is chewing on everything, especially her beloved yellow soft block. That thing is better than a pacifier when she does get upset! Emery had her 6 month checkup last week and she is looking great! She is definitely working hard to catch up to big sis in the weight department:
