Six months old?!








I can't believe our baby girl is 6 months old today!! Every single day has been such a blessing. She is growing and changing everyday. She is rolling over onto her belly, starting to be able to sit on her own (for a few seconds), and has already cut two baby teeth! We also started feeding her rice cereal this past week...although I don't really know how much of it she is actually swallowing! When she gets excited she kicks and moves her arms up and down like she's going to take flight. It's so dang cute! And of course, she smiles and talks all the time.

I am of course loving every minute of my summer off with Emilie. We are having so much fun. We took our first vacation...a 10 hour trip to Crescent City with Nana and Papa to visit GGP (Great Grandpa Smith), where we spent the 4th of July. Then we went to Lake Tahoe to meet Grandma and Grandpa for Emilie's first camping trip. Besides the bear that decided to join us at our campfire one night, we had an awesome time. We went to the beach during the day and spent the nights around the campfire. We have also had fun celebrating Aunt Mimi's and daddy's 30th birthdays, cousin Reid's 4th birthday, and cousin Rena's 3rd birthday. It's been a busy, eventful, and exciting summer so far!

Emilie is such a happy little girl. And in turn, she makes us happy beyond words. I'm still amazed everyday that we have been blessed with her. Happy 6-month old birthday Emmi Rae!
