Dear Emma-
I'm happy to say that you've made it through half a year with the rowdiest brother around but now you can be somewhat mobile yourself! These past six months have been both a blur and yet I can remember each month that has passed filled with new experiences and new memories of us as a family!
You had your six month check up and weighed in at 20 lbs and you're 26.5 inches tall (tall girl just like mommy!). You did really well at your appointment- daddy took you on his own and I had to rescue you from the evil nurse who gave you a couple of shots. You are a tough girl though, you just wanted your daddy and you calmed right down. You are doing excellent according to Jan (our favorite Pediatric Nurse Practitioner) You are perhaps a little ahead as your gross motor skills (rolling both ways, sitting with minimal help and certainly standing on your own is better developed than average). You are eating all the foods. You love spinach, sweet potatoes, apples, beets, squash- essentially, all the great foods you should be trying at this time in your life! Your brother didn't enjoy eating those types of foods, he liked the fruits more than the veggies! Here is to hoping that you'll continue eating those great foods!
Emma, you're truly beautiful, you have kept your blue eyes and although you dont have much hair yet, you have a beautiful face that mommy loves to wrap in bows, headbands and just about anything she can find to adorn your little head with. People are always commenting on how beautiful you are or how beautiful your eyes are or the best, how happy of a baby you are! This is so true, you laugh and enjoy each moment of life and that makes this journey so incredible. Watching you laugh at your brother, or the dogs or just about anytime you see your mommy or daddy or nana or mita or pollo or grandpa!
You are a great sleeper, even at six months you are doing easily 6 hour stretches without waking up. You occasionally want a bottle at night and drink a few ounces then go right back to sleep. The days of waking up crying and not being able to put you back down for a few hours are gone and now we get greeted by a calm and smily girl. 
Your personality is definitely showing more and more and baby, you're gonna fit in just fine. You love to laugh like crazy and that's all we do around here. You can also be silly, loving and super affectionate. My favorite thing you do lately is kisses. I think you've seen us kissing you and your brother every.single.time. we see you that you now do it to us! It melts us. You also started to cry if you see us leave the room. You are very attached to mommy and you can't stand the sight of her leaving. You also know that if you cry we're going to come to the rescue!
You dont seem to want to crawl, mommy says that a princess doesn't want to crawl because that would get our knees dirty. I think you're just determined to run around with Mason and the dogs and crawling isn't going to cut it. So instead, you're standing on your own for a few seconds here and there. You're going to be unstoppable!
Our world changed the day you arrived and it just keeps getting better!
Love,
Mommy, Daddy and Mason
