It is so funny to see Emma growing up. I am really enjoying being a Mom to her and wonder if it is possible for me to love another the same. I know I will be able to but, sometimes it seems that I am sooo smitten with Emma. This is one of those moments. Actually, Dad (thankfully) snapped this wonderful photo…I was just behind him and caught the same sight! What a hoot!

And now, Emma’s vocabulary consists of Mama, Bo (which means Pablo, her favorite TV character…she’s almost adding the “Pa” to this but not quite there yet), and Ba (which means ball, and really anything). Because she is very into playing with balls right now, she calls everything a ball. I guess she is learning what is and what isn’t a ball.

Now, don’t confuse her talking with understanding. She knows lots of what you are telling her. She knows her mom and dad in a picture. She can identify all five of her favorite characters. She also knows her body parts (eyes, nose, ears, hair, mouth, and belly). She can put her shapes in the right holes of her little shape-sorter. And she can put basic puzzles together. She sometimes likes to drink from a straw. But, at first try she’ll just put her mouth on it. When you tell her to ‘suck’, she’ll get a mouthful of whatever is inside the cup. She almost always listens to no. Sometimes she will fuss. But, really, she is such a good baby.

Her biggest frustration is why she can’t walk around wherever she is. She wants down so bad, she can’t stand it sometimes. Last night, I let her walk around Wal-mart just to see what she would do. She did pretty good, actually. It’s funny, though…she walked right to the baby department, followed by the toy department. I guess she knows where that one is, huh?!?!

Ahhh, there is so much I could brag about with her…but I will save it for another post!
