This little chubber is in 9-12 month clothes and size 2/3 shoe
She barley is squeezing into her size 3 pampers
Her well baby appointment went great.
She is right on track weighing
16 lbs 5 oz (85th %)
26 in long (80th %)
with a 43cm head (not sure, but it was up there)


She sits up unsupported (just recently mastered)

Tried her first taste of rice cereal with sweet potatoes the day she turned 6 months but it was short lived.
She hasn't tried it again since.
She likes milk and that's that.

Doesn't coo much. Just chills and loves to be held or played with.
She has a constant smile on her face and will flirt with whoever looks at her.
Jumperoo is her favorite pass time.
Tummy time with toys is fun.



Is NOT much of a sleeper (I promise)
Emme sleeps a good 2+ hours MORE than she does
She is on a schedule that works for us though.
Bed time at 9pmish with a nursing session at around 2 am then back to sleep until 7am
She takes one nap during the afternoon for about 2-3 hours and that's it!
I am VERY spoiled to my 3 year old who LOVES her sleep AND her naps :)

Charlee is now sleeping in her crib as of 3 nights ago as she literally outgrew the bassinet in our room. Her knees started to bend so she would fit. Yeah, it was time.
She, on the other hand, is VERY upset by this new change and lets Mama know. For about 2 hours last night, she let me know.

We also took on the challenge of trying to feed her formula for the first time.

HA!
That worked. Not.
I reached out to my Facebook friends and got some AMAZING tips on how to transition her to take a bottle. It's tough bc I only want to replace 1 or 2 (tops) nursing's with formula so she will be one confused little baby for the next few weeks.
It's been about 5 days and she takes one pumped bottle of breast milk so she will get used to the bottle then slowly we will add formula to the mixture then up the dose gradually.
Wish me luck!

She is a very loved little sister. I honestly think there is not a better big sister out there than Emme. She loves her to the moon and back.

She also got her.........

Ears pierced!!
They are cute little flower earrings and she as a champ!
Daddy was on duty this time around and held her head still.
It was over in no time and she looks cute as a button!
