Leaps and Bounds

It is amazing how quickly Emmy is learning and growing. I swear she does a new amazing thing everyday! This past weekend the whole fam damily came down for a visit to celebrate her belated b-day. It rained all day Saturday so we were pretty cooped up all day but enjoyed just hanging out. Watching her Sunday after everyone left I realized how much more she learned while they were here. She is a GENIUS!

- She now prefers to drink out of a "big girl cup"
- She used to point at everything now she points at what she wants which is usually a glass of water. Out of a big girl cup of course :)
- She now knows a cow says "moo" and sheep says "baa" and a monkey says, well, I don't know how to spell what a monkey says. There are days when she thinks all animals sound like a cow or a monkey but we're getting there :)
- My sister let her play with her sunglasses. I saved Emmy from ruining Julie's shades by giving her, her own glasses to play with. Last night she walked around the house trying to put them on her face herself
- Before dinner I told Emmy that we were going to put her jammies on and she walked to her room and picked up a pair that was on the floor.
- She was giving her "baby" a hug and patting her back as I do with her - too cute
- My mom knit her 2 of the cutest hats for her b-day. She put it on and we all said "oh so pretty" and she smiled and pranced around. She wore that hat all day long.
- When I get her undressed for her bath she is usually half hanging in the tub so I undress her right then and there. She lifts each leg up and out of her pants, it is so cute.
- She totally understands the word "no" she shakes her head when I say it. She also shakes it whenever I try to get her to drink milk and of course as she is pushing all the buttons on the DVD player....

What is a post without a pic!
