Our Baby Is 6 Years Old Today

I can't believe that Emily is 6 years old! It just seems like yesterday that we brought her home from the hospital after a week in the NICU at St. John's in Springfield. She is growing like a weed. We measured her this morning and she has grown 1 3/4 inches since November. But, true to herself, she has only gained 6/10ths of a pound. We still haven't figured out where she gets her build.

We spent the morning just hanging out waiting for daddy to get home from checking in at work and then went to CiCi's pizza for lunch. She got a free buffet and a bunch of tokens for the game room there. Too bad most of the games weren't working. We then went to Menards and to Walmart to pick up her Hello Kitty birthday cake.

Here are a few pictures from today.
