6 months old!!!!!!!

Emory was 6 months old on Monday May 7th. I just can't get over how time flies by. It just seems like yesterday she was born. Well..... now she is just smiling and talking all of the time and just growing like a weed. Wednesday we had our 6 month check-up and we now weigh 9lbs and 6ozs and we are 19 3/4 inches long. Dr. Shrum was really please with Emory's progress. As most of you now, Emory was born with a genetic disorder and with her syndrome she has had some medicial problems and she is not quite doing the things she needs to be doing developmental for a 6 month old. But Dr. Shrum said that they last time he had seen her, which was in March, he said that she was doing things like a 2-3 week old, and now she was made a big improvement and is doing things like a 3 -4 month old. I was so pleased when he said that she was making some progress. She is getting better head control and hopefully we will be able to work with her on sitting up before too long.

We have had some pretty busy last couple of days. Wednesday after our visit with the doc, we went to visit Uncle Jason at Bergman School. We saw a couple of the teachers out there and Emory just had the best time visiting with her Uncle J ( which by the way she loves her new hat Uncle J). Then Thursday we were just hanging out at the house and the Audiologist from Mtn. Home called and said that Emory's new ear molds where in if we wanted to come and get them. I was like, yeah now we can finally get those hearing aides back in and start the whole process over again with getting her used to them. Emory has just been a chatter box here lately. Just about an hour ago I heard her in the living room just chatting away, I am sure she was telling her Daddy all about her day with Granny. Then I went to see if she had gone to sleep and sure enough, she had talked herself out. She is so sweet. I just love her more and more everyday.

Here are some more pictures of the Emory on her 6 month birthday ( as Daddy called it) and then some pictures of her in her new hat that Nana and I found when we went to Branson this evening to Carter's. We had so much fun. We looked at all of the boy stuff to get ideas for my sister's little bundle of joy, so when he gets here he will have plenty of clothes to wear like Emory, we have a ton of clothes that she will, hopefully, grow into if not I will just hang on to them for some body who might need them. Well enjoy the pictures!!!!

"Mom....... I feel like a movie star with all of the picture taking!!!!!!"
