six month photo shoot

we're a few days past six months, but i think we're still doing a pretty good job of giving little sister just as much press as big brother has had. july 30th was emersyn's six month birthday! i know . . . i can't believe it either! we'll get height and weight stats next week with her doctor's appointment so for now i'll fill you in on what she's doing developmentally. last week she found her feet! into her mouth they went . . . yumm! her dadda can get her to laugh and giggle fairly easily. it still takes some work for me to get her laughing. i imagine with moms and girls it's like this through much of teenagerhood. sorry mom for all i ever did to torment you :) we also think that she's said dadda a few times. she is a BIG talker! she uses her arms, legs, eyebrows and tone to get her point across. she rolls over from her front to back. she started this a few weeks ago on one of my work from home days so i was able to witness it almost immediately! she looks like a little toy. if you put her on her tummy she almost immediately rolls to her back. and then again and again. i tell you it's quite toy-like to the point of being amusing.
she eats solid foods . . . likes oatmeal and carrots but not so fond of sweet potatoes. we'll get her some more foods as soon as i can get to making them! i do believe that she's a much messier eater than brody was. i may be skewed because dinnertime is quite different with four than it was with three. oh, and she has her first tooth! i took a few minutes to take some six month pictures in the same chair that i took pictures of brody at about this age. i think you can see how expressive she is and you might even spot her little tooth!
