Little Miss Emeline turned 5 months on July 28th. She's now wearing 9 month clothes! And just yesterday I was teasing her about all the drooling she does as I removed her fist from her mouth. I stuck a finger on her gums and said "ya know little baby, why don't you save some of that drool for when you're cutting teeth" as I rubbed her bottom gum...
Oh, whoops.
She has two teeth already.
And that, folks...is what being the second kid, while your parent's are starting a new business and buying a new house...is all about. Let's hope I'm looking when she starts to crawl :) Lucky for us, she has a very go-with-the-flow attitude, (as if she has any other options!) I'm sure she'll be moving on her own in no time, she's very anxiously wiggling every chance she gets, to get closer to big sis, closer to the cat, closer to the tv. Once we get settled in our new home, I have to get her started on solid foods - she's also flailing her arms at every spoonful whenever someone is holding her during a meal. I'm guessing her first words will be "would ya just gimme that already!"

Obviously, I had more time to dedicate to feeding little Annie - she filled out much faster. However, she was shorter, much less to fill out :) Hopefully Emeline will slow down a bit and let her baby cheeks and belly catch up to her long legs!
*Toddler moving stress update: We closed on our new home today and were able to take a quick walk-thru. Annie's first time through the house in about a year (1/3 of her life) -- she started out quiet, a little overwhelmed by meeting new people (current owners were there). I took her down to the girls bedrooms and asked her which room she would like. She quickly chose one confidently...and started prancing around showing the current owners "her house" ("this is mommy and daddy's room, this bathroom is where I will pee when I need to, this is my room, this is Eme's room") Whoa, sister...I had to slow her down and remind her the current owners will still be sleeping there one more night ;)
She's going to adjust just fine.
