First professional photo shoot (outfit courtesy of Aunt Trace and Uncle Jessie)
We can't believe Emerson is already 6 months old! He is doing great and is as happy as ever. He smiles on cue and giggles a lot. He had a memorable first Thanksgiving. We had about 20+ people over at my mom and dad's house. We even busted out the magic mic (which is always a crowd pleaser). I really enjoyed singing All Night Long by Lionel Richie. I think Emerson enjoyed my performance the most. If he could talk, he would SCREAM for an encore. Ok Now back to the fact that Emerson is 6 months! Here are some updates:
He is about 27 inches (70th percentile)
Weighs 17lbs (50th percentile)
Sleeping on his tummy
Sitting up by himself (even though he sometimes loses his balance and falls to his side)
He is extremely ticklish. What gets him going is blowing on his tummy. Here is a video:
He likes doing sit ups
Got his first ear infection
On size 2 diapers
Going to start solids in the next week (going to start on rice cereal). We will tape his first bite and reaction!
He is not only grabbing on to everything in his reach, but also holding it, putting it in his mouth, throwing it, pushing it etc.
Babbles a lot (dah dah dah dah)
Still enjoys giving himself knuckle sandwiches
Loves being read to. He likes to slap the pages
Loves what Morgan and I call 'concerts.' Emerson sits on the couch and Morgo makes up a song about Emerson and plays guitar for him.
Enjoys nice strolls around the neighborhood while looking at the trees and leaves
When he is restless, he makes a sound that Morgo and I call the lawnmower.
