Day 10 And Counting and a Giant 6 Month Old

Well, we are on day 10 of Ken being out of town. I don't know what I did to be blessed with such great kids (knock on wood, knock on wood x's 1000). The girls have been wonderful and totally low maintenance with only the occasional (not the typical daily) satan induced tantrum from Anna. They are both taking a late nap, so I am putting so pics up and video.

We had a big lovin' session last night...

Emma-Grace had her 6 month appointment today. She is a GIANT baby. She is 27" long (75-90%), her head is 17.5 (90-95%) and she weights 17 lbs 15 oz...Anna weighed 16 lbs and was 25" long at her 6 month check up... Emma-Grace is close now to what Anna was when she was 9 months... but, the younger ones need to be tough with the older sibblings. The doctor was suprised at how much Emma-Grace was tracking Anna (of course Anna was running around the little office during Emma-Grace's check up and his light. Of course, being my child, she is naturally advanced, but the Dr. said that babies who track early tend to be good in school because they track their teachers... so here is hoping that we will have one dancer/Broadway star and one smartie pants!

Since Emma-Grace is such a big girl, I gave her her first solid food, the Gerbber puffs. Here she is trying to figure it out. She makes choking noises, but she isn't choking.

Emma-Grace has the funniest reaction to when someone comes to rescue her...

Just a tickle fest from last night.

The other day Anna told me a riddle she learned from watching Dora. It goes like this:

Translation: Hey Anna, can you jump higher than a mountain? No... I can't... Yes you can! Mountains can't jump silly!... That's a silly rule!
