Emerson is 6 months!

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.
