This was a very busy week for us in the Vargas house. Emma turned 6 months old this week! We took her for her 6 month appointment and came away with mixed feelings. Emma's ear infection is still present and we have an appointment with a specialist on the 27th. It's looking all but certain that we'll need to have tubes put in her ears. :( She's doing great otherwise though and is getting stronger every day! She loves standing up and it seems like every day she's able to stand for longer and longer times. She's also doing great on her growth and is in the 91st percentile for both height and weight! Here's her stats from birth and 6 months:
Height: 19.5 inches at birth/27 inches tall at 6 months
Weight: 7lbs, 11 ounces at birth/18 lbs, 8 ounces at 6 months!
She's getting so big! She started out 1 inch shorter and 1 pound lighter than Caitlin and is now half an inch shorter and half a pound heavier than Caitlin was at 6 months! She's litterally outgrown all of her 3-6 month clothes and we now have her wearing 12 month stuff!
On the morning of her appointment we stopped by the school for breakfast with the kids. Caitlin was really excited the we stayed to have breakfast with her and she even wanted to go to the Doctor with us so we took her with us. She's doing great in her new classroom and she's getting more mature every day.
Nana Bev stopped by to see the girls one night this week and brought them some beautiful new dresses. You can see them in the pic of the girls sitting together on the chair. Caitlin loves her dress and is definitely not a tomboy. She loves putting dresses and sandals on and will run over to us and ask us if we think she's pretty. :) This weekend Aunt Cuqui, Uncle Fernando and Cousin Lissette came over and Caitlin had a lot of fun with them. We had a cookout with our grill on our new patio with everyone including family from Austin who also came down for the day. After the cookout we went to the pool. Caitlin had a blast at the pool. She was wearing her floaties and was enjoying swimming with me and after no time she was jumping into the pool for me to catch her. It was a lot of fun. :) Sunday we took a trip downtown and went to the riverwalk. We took the boat ride and Caitlin seemed to enjoy being on the boat and seeing the ducks. Emma wasn't as interested as Caitlin was but we had a good time. The girls got some nice stuff from their Aunt and Uncle at the Disney store, Caitlin was so excited with her Rapunzel dress that they got her to wear for her birthday. She looks so pretty in it.
This week should be very busy. Toni's Dad is coming down in a couple of days and we've got a wedding Saturday. Hope everyone has a good week!
