Guy & Nikki: 6 months old and a trip to Oklahoma!

Emery hit her half birthday today and I can't believe our little baby is already 6 months old! Where does the time go? She continues to entertain us with her sweet little personality and watching her grow and do new things has become the highlight of our days. Emery saw her doctor today and here are her stats:

Height: 27 inches - 90th percentile

Weight: 19 lbs 4 ounces - 95th percentile

Head circumference: 17 1/4" - 82nd percentile

Updates:

Emery loves to be outside and has a pretty big obsession with trees...she loves to stare and touch the leaves on the trees. We also had fun playing and taking pictures in the fall leaves in Lincoln.
Emery has become quite the chatterbox! She talks up a storm mostly ba ba ba ba ba and then a growl, but we are working diligently on trying to get a mama or dada out of her :)
She is scooting around EVERYWHERE! She will go after basically anything that is on the ground including shoes, bags, toys, anything you name it. She is pretty fast and has even been up on her knees a few times, although it doesn't last she just looks confused and then falls back to her belly.
Emery goes to bed around 7-7:30pm each night and wakes up ususally once to eat around 4am and then is up for the day around 7:30am. The days of sleeping in are a thing of the past. :)
She smiles at everyone she sees and I'm pretty sure she loves the attention because she really turns on the charm for strangers in the store, doctors office, etc. She is quite the ham!
Still laughs alot, but mostly just for Daddy
Emery tried rice cereal for the first time tonight and really seemed to like it! She was a little hesitant at first, but ate most of what we made for her. We will start trying fruits and veggies in a week or two.
Emery loves to suck on her toes...so silly! We are constantly pulling her foot away from her mouth.
She is in 9 month clothing, but still fits into a handful of her 6 month stuff.
Emery's stranger anxiety is getting a little better - when we were in Oklahoma this weekend she let other people hold her quite a bit..we were so happy!
Emery is using a sippy cup for a little water during the day and loves holding onto her own cup
She is still mostly a stomach sleeper, but we find her sleeping on her side quite a bit too.
She loves her bouncer and loves to chew on anything in sight! I'm pretty sure she is teething.
Emery hardly ever cries in the mornings (or ever really) we usually find her awake in her crib talking to herself, playing with her bunny blanket, or just peeking over the crib bumper waiting for someone to come get her. Guy and I race to her room to see who get there first to get her up because when she sees you she smiles SO big - its the best part of our day.

This weekend was fall break for Guy (if you can call 1 day off of school a break)! Anyways, we decided to take a quick trip to Bartlesville, Oklahoma to see my Aunt Julie & Uncle Ryan and the boys, as well as my Grandma Stevens. We missed my Aunt Stacey and Uncle Jeff who were traveling to visit family :( we hope to make it back soon to visit them as well. We had a great time getting to visit and relax away from our little apartment for a few days. Julie and Ryan just built a beautiful house and we enjoying getting to stay with them! I didn't get a picture of it on my camera, but Emery went with Uncle Ryan to feed the Llama and she stuck out her hand and smacked it in the nose! We had a great time hanging out with everyone and Emery really liked all the attention. She loved hanging out with Austin and Jack, my cousins, and was especially fond of Austin :) She let him and Julie hold her through most of church on Sunday, but she really loved listening to Austin play piano and sing. She even fell asleep on the ground (using her toy as a pillow) listening to Austin play piano...I think Emery wished we could have brought him back to Lincoln with us. It was so great to see my Grandma Stevens - we enjoyed getting to visit with her in her apartment and getting to spend time with her. We have missed her the past copule years since she moved from Utah and I am so happy we are a little closer and can hopefully see her more often. Here are a few pictures of our trip
