Emily turned 6 months old last week and to celebrate she has been working on her first tooth!! I think it finally popped through on Sunday or Monday and she really let us know about it. No waking in the night thank goodness but she was not a happy bunny. Now it is fully through she is happier and she seems a little obsessed with it - rubbing it with her finger and feeling it with her tongue!! And I'm pretty sure it's making eating just a little easier. Emily had her 6 month check up with the doctor on Thursday - she now weighs 18lbs 4oz and I think she was 26.5 inches long. Anyway, she remains up in the top percentiles for weight and height. She got a few more shots but managed them just fine - no more now until she is 1 (except the flu shot of course). She is moving well - she continues to move around by arching her back and moving backwards along the floor. No rolling for this little lady!
Oliver is doing great too. I realised while putting pictures on here that I don't have many of him. That's because he doesn't stand still long enough for me to get a good photo!! He is doing great at counting and doing puzzles - I've just been watching him put lots of puzzles together with no help at all from me. How things change in just a few short months!! And the biking is coming on too - he is now learning how to use the brakes so he doesn't scare me quite so much when going fast down a hill :) I have been explaining to him about the leaves changing colour and falling off the trees. When we talk about it he says: "Get cold now. Wear nice hat and gloves". Yes, he is fully aware of what weather is coming next!
So, Halloween coming up. Oliver is scared of pretty much everything Halloween related so we'll see how that one goes. Maybe telling him that getting sweets when you knock on doors will persuade him to wear a costume!!
Looks yummy!!

Tee hee!!! I just love this picture for the two radically different facial expressions!
Measuring Emily's leg against my hand!
Beautiful, beautiful girl :)
Yes, these two pictures of Oliver are examples of the great photos I get of him these days! Better than nothing though :)

Baby oranges - yummy!!
I give Emily some water in an open cup every day. She drank a bit yesterday with my help but otherwise she just likes to wave the cup around and make a mess :)
Oliver loves to sing "California Girls" by Katy Perry - except he says "California Giraffes" instead (a little joke Mummy made up!!). This isn't the best video - he can sing it much better!!
