6 Months Old

Today, Emily turned 6 months old. We celebrated with takeout Chinese food and apple pie with ice cream :)  Wish Emily could have participated in the food part! She is growing super fast. She loves cereal (oatmeal and rice), fruit (apples and bananas), and apple juice. She can entertain herself longer now, but still prefers being around adults, hanging out with Mommy and Daddy and Mimi. Teething is still going strong, everything she touches goes into her mouth - but we don't see any actual teeth yet. Emily can sit un-supported and enjoys that new view of the world. She is adorable as can be!!  :)

Emily with her bite ring that she got from Germany from my best friend Natasha:



Her new favorite thing is laying like this on her changing table and observing the nature outside her window - she can do that for many minutes on end, which is a long time for a baby :)



My Russian friend Helen is living in Sweden right now with her husband and new daughter.  Helen sent Emily this Pippi Longstocking toy for Christmas.  Considering Sweden is the birth place of Pippi and Astrid Lindgren was one of my all-time favorite authors growing up, this toy has additional special meaning.  Thank you Helen, Sebastian, and baby Micaella!



Our little bookworm in Mimi's room.....she multi tasks by touching the books and staring at herself in the mirror!


Happy camper:



Enough pictures!  :)


I just like this picture because it looks like she has bangs (that was not intentional, actually.....) - and what a different look for her!

I love the one of her with "bangs"! (Can you email it to me?) Can't believe she's six months old already either....when did that happen?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Time sure flies! She's getting so big and such a cutie! I know I probably say that every time, but she really is so sweet. I can't believe it's been 6 months already. We have to get together (outside of work) and get the girls to play. I like the bangs!
