A bunch of randoms

So we're still working with Emmi and her solid food intake.  Little girl just isn't terribly interested.  However, she really does like Gerber's Puffs.  And she's getting pretty good at picking them up by herself and getting them into her mouth.  Otherwise, she eats some pureed bananas and some oatmeal cereal here and there, but nothing terribly consistent.  I'm thinking she's going to skip baby food for the most part and go straight to table food just like Dr K said.

We're still waiting for her first tooth to arrive.  The girls have been all over the board in regards to when that first one showed up.  Elli was 5 1/2 months.  Livi was exactly 6 months.  And Addi was a week shy of 8 months.  Right now Emmi is 7 1/2 months, so I'd imagine she must be close!!

It's so fun watching the big girls interact with her.  Livi is very much the nurturer.  She always wants to hold Emmi.  She gives her a nuk if she's fussy.  She covers her up with her blanket.  She helps feed her the little puffs and knows that she can only give her one at a time, etc.  On the other hand, Addi is the entertainer.  She really doesn't want much to do with taking care of her...she's too focused on trying to make her laugh.  If Emmi is getting fussy, it's usually Addi who will jump in front of her and yell "BOO!"  She'll dance in front of her.  She'll purposefully fall to the ground, etc.  The two of them are a good mix for Emmi - a mother hen and a jokester!!

Here are lots of pictures of our happy little princess...
