Six Months

Love this stage of babyhood! Emmett is sitting up on his own, totally entertained by his big brother, sleeping 12 straight hours at night, still struggling with naps (but getting a little bit better... he loves to trick me by taking good naps for a few days in a row and then the next day reverting back to waking up after 40 minutes for every nap), weighing about 19 pounds, and loving solid food (he's enjoyed bananas, sweet potatoes, and apples at this point). He has the loudest high-pitched screams, both of joy and anger, the chunkiest, squeezable thighs and calves, and the sweetest smile with a big dimple for good measure. He's pretty easy-going, except in noisy, chaotic situations like squadron functions. He melts down pretty quickly in those instances, but we're working on that! He is a such a joy...

Here's a short video of some cooing and giggling...

Here's Jackson at six months in a similar pose. I love six-month baby rolls!
