6 months!

How is this even possible?  Six months????  Emerson has been quite the little godsend lately - keeping spirits up when they are down, smiling, cooing and her newest trick, clapping.  She will take any food I throw her way, she's struggling with teething so we've had quite a few late night wake-up-calls lately (although last night was cry-free), and no one (and I mean no one) can get her belly laughing as hard as her sisters can (mainly Ryan).  We haven't really settled into any solid nap routine since we always seem to be on the go somewhere but when allowed she can pull out a super long afternoon nap for me.  While she's not sitting up on her own unassisted or crawling yet, she is starting the always-adorable baby rock when playing on the floor.  And she is one helluva hair-puller.  I've basically had to keep my hair in a ponytail the last two months.  Thankfully the girls haven't lost it when she's gotten a grasp of their locks, instead Ryan laughs and Reese usually gives a very stern "Emerson, you stop that!!!".
