Emma is now 6 months old. Time is going fast, it was just last week she was born, doesn’t it seem? She changes almost daily. Getting so vocal on her likes and dislikes… Shopping she likes, riding in the car she dislikes… sleeping in Grandma’s arms, she likes, sleeping in her crib, she dislikes… eating her cereal with fruit, she likes, watching us eat anything without tasting it, she dislikes. Today Brianna and I ate at the Olive Garden. We decided to have the chocolate tort for dessert. Emma had to have a taste of it. I think we have another Chocoholic on hand. She loved it. She was so cute tasting it, one of the waitresses had to come over and watch her take a bite of it.

We went shopping, which excited Emma as soon as we walked into the mall. She really got a kick out of the Easter Bunny. She was so excited in line, I thought she was about to jump out of my arms at him. Then it dawned on me… she thought he was a big stuffed animal and grandma was going to buy him for her!! She giggled as we put her on his lap. She is so fun.

We had her 6 mo pictures taken at Sears. Wow.. They turned out so cute. She loved getting her picture taken. She is turning into a little ham for sure. We had 3 different dresses for her to wear and also a washtub picture where she wore only her diaper. I worried she would start getting fussy with all the changing, but she did great all through the session. It was very hard to decide which picture we liked the best.

When we went to Kmart we were picking out things for her for Easter. We bought her a cute little duck basket. We showed her the lamb, the duck and the bunny, letting her choose which one she wants. She liked the duck best… penguins and ducks.. She is a bird watcher. We also went to the toy isle. She wanted a lot of different toys, but the Elmo toys were her favorite. She loves Elmo. I was good, I didn’t splurge on the $50 New Tickle Me Elmo. Maybe for her birthday. She did get a couple Elmo toys which will be for Easter, and some books, ok and a toy for the high chair and a vibrating rattle, which she loves. I have a feeling though that she will be one I will have spoiled in the stores that she will throw a fit when I do start saying “no” to her. I guess maybe I should cut back some now before that happens. Brianna makes me keep the noisy toys here though.

Tomorrow we will watch Happy Feet. She loves penguins so she should like it. It looks like a cute movie.
