Emerson Paige is 7 months old today!

And what a month she has had! Like I say every month, it was a big one for her.  It amazes me when I actually sit down to type this up to think about all that has happened in her little life over the past month.  She develops so quickly, and this month we've noticed her really coming into her own personality.  She is a hoot! Here are some milestones and a glimpse into the adventure that led us to Emmy P turning 7 months old.

Perhaps the biggest stride this month was the arrival of her first teeth! She sprouted her first on April 5 and then a day later the one right next to it popped up.  (bottom front)

She moves ALL over the place.  She rolls, crawls backwards, and squirms herself.  She covers a lot of ground! She is raising herself up onto her hands and has started bending her legs, it's not going to be long before she's got it down! 



She spent her first Easter in Lufkin.  My family could not believe how big she had gotten since Christmas.  We had a great time visiting.  That night we headed to Nathan's parent's house to have Easter dinner with them! It was a long weekend, but so good to see and visit with everyone.  Emerson made it through the whole church service :)

Cousin love

Big girl!

Her face...hahaha

Love my sweet girl!

5 generations :)

Nothing better!

Roadtrip!

She is sitting up on her own! 
"Hey there..."

Has started eating baby food on a regular basis.  We've been sticking with veggies but we just got the OK yesterday from her doctor that we can now start introducing fruits. 

Woah. 

She's like a little bird! This picture cracks me up.
She cheered me on at my first 5K.  It was a mom's race, but a middle school track team ran in it! Haha :)  It was fun and I was proud that I ran the whole thing.  My first time to run 3 miles since before I got pregnant with Emmy. 


She took some very sweet pictures in the blue bonnets, but was more interested in pulling on them and trying to put them in her mouth :/



She is a jibber jabberer! We have full on conversations with her.  There is nothing sweeter than hearing her "talk" and coo on the baby monitor, unless it's at 5:00 and I have to wake up at 5:30. Lol

She has a new fixation with water and water bottles, I'm not sure which one she likes more!

She puts everything in her mouth.  If she can reach it, it's fair game.  

We were not moving when this picture was taken. Lol


She loves to cuddle at night...and I love it more.  It's the only time she's really still, and we love that calm, quiet time together.  

She weighs 18.1 pounds and is 25 inches long! ...and is still in the 80th percentile for head size. 
At her check-up yesterday.  

She's been sleeping 8 hours in her own room.  Hallelujah :) 


Here are a few of my favorite pictures from this month!

Still loves bath time
She was cooooonked out.
Feed me! Feed me!
Family night at Palio's, we loved having dinner on the patio.
Silly girl
I love getting snapchats of her while I'm at work.
She REFUSED to look at the camera. (look at those chunky legs)
My favorite people :)
Date night!  



Happy 7 months Emerson Paige! You continue to make each day brighter than the last.  We're so thankful God blessed us with you.  


The traditional bench picture did not go so well this month. Lol
