Being a Big Brother

Alex says to me, "Mom, I'm glad we have a baby." He also calls emma, "his baby." I was so worried when I found out I was pregnant about how Alex would handle no longer being the only child. He had only child syndrome like you wouldn't believe. Even though there are seven years between the two of them, they love each other very much. emma lights up when she sees Alex. I'm so glad they have each other.

As she grows...

So work has kept me too busy for blogging. emma is now 6 months old. She is eating baby food and sits up on her own. Her favorite toy is a purple butterfly that plays "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star." She loves all the fruits, especially pears. She also loves to eat sweet potatoes and squash. She is okay with green peas and green beans, but you can tell they are not her favorite. Forget rice cereal unless you add fruit, she has her dad's sweet tooth, I guess.
She is staying home with Daddy now, as daycare costs way too much. We are still not sleeping through the night, but she is getting there. It still amazes me how much she has grown in just half a year.
