We've been busily trying to get lots of extra calories into little Emmeline. Sadly, she didn't gain any weight between her 4 and 6 month appointments. I don't want to write much about it here, but of course, I was shocked and sad to hear that. She's been eating very well for the past couple of weeks, so we're hoping she's showing that she can gain weight.
Also, for the past couple of weeks Emi's been saying "ma ma," and at first, I thought she was just babbling. But over time it's become clear that she knows exactly what she's saying, and it warms my heart. Now we need to work on "da da" and "Alaina." Alaina didn't say "mama" (knowingly) until almost 10 months, I think, and said "da da" first, so this is really fun for me. Emi is really a good natured, flexible, sweet baby. Her biggest peeve is being ignored. She prefers direct interaction as much as possible.
