Today I realized Emma is now 6 1/2 months old.  Those months seemed to have flown at the speed of light!  Emma's development is taking off at a similar pace making me proud and a little sad that my "new, little, preemie" baby is growing up!  This morning she took her fruit covered spoon and stuck it in her own mouth.  She is also quite the comedian these days.  She loves to laugh and squeal at peek-a-boo games, and she LIVES for showing off.  I tell you this kid is a total attention hog!  As soon as she thinks she has done something impressive she stares straight at you for your applause.  She just adores Daisy and enjoys pulling Daisy's fur.  

Daisy is as attention hungry as Emma so she enjoys all the fur pulling.  Daisy likes to lay at our feet and Emma's feet are no exception.  She will lay with her head under the jumperoo even with the occasional "accidental stomping" she gets.  Daisy is awaiting her surgery.  She is currently taking 2 tablespoons of glucosamine and 2 ounces of fish oil on her food daily as well as a daily low dose steroid and pain pills 2x a day (tell me about it).  She loves the fish oil and glucosamine (which also smells like fish).  She especially loves rubbing her stinky beard on the carpet after she is done :)
