Emerson is now closer to 8 months than she is 7 months. This baby is growing so fast and the days are flying by. What a joy this girl is, we love her more and more every day that passes.
Emerson sits so steadily and can sit for a long time and play with her toys. I think this is her favorite thing to do. She spreads all the toys out around her and loves when her brother and sister sit down next to her and play/read with her. She also loves to play in her exersaucer while I am in the kitchen.
Emerson rolls all over the place and reaches as far as she can. She pushes up on her arms but has not figured out that she can pull those legs underneath her. I think we have a long time to go before she starts crawling and I am OK with that. Immobile for as long as possible is what I hope for!
We started baby led weaning around 6 1/2 months. I wasn't going well (Emerson refused to feed herself), so we have given her baby food, cereal, carrots, sweet potato, squash and peas. We are still doing some baby led weaning and it is going great. Emerson has started to realize she loves food and is more interested in feeding herself some! I love baby led weaning, makes meal time so much easier!
I think this girl is currently teething as she has her fingers in her mouth all the time. Only the 2 bottom teeth right now, but soon there should be a few additional popping through. This is only the second time we have put her up on her feet. She balances ok, but I am in no rush to keep showing her that she can do this all on her own. Stay little baby!
