Emmy

In the midst of our busy school schedule, Emmy seems to be growing up.  She is now 14 months old.  She cruises around the furniture, drinks from a sippy cup, and is a nonstop motor mouth!  Her favorite words are baby (she LOVES baby dolls) and doggy, but she can also say lots of other things like neenee (blankey), nana (banana), shoe, eye, door, car, hot, daddy, etc.  The other day, she was quiet for a long period of time, so I finally went to check on her.  What a surprise when I found that she had climbed up onto this chair, and was relishing in her success.  

Since we are limited in bedroom space, Emmy is sharing the boys room.  So far, it has worked out quite well.  But for some reason, this past week she has been taking terribly short naps and waking up at night.... so, she is back to sleeping in the portable crib in the family room at night.

The nice thing about being the second girl is that you have access to oodles of girlish delights!  Ruth is so sweet to share all her loot with Emmy, and Emmy loves the girl time!  When the girls get dressed up, we love to dance to the Frozen soundtrack.  Emmy always bobs her head and then dramatically sweeps her arms behind her back.  Such a girl!
