Over the last few days we have been hanging out at home having fun. :) Last Wednesday Emma had her hair trimmed...looking like a big girl more and more each day. :) She sat real still for a few seconds...long enough to get a crooked bang line. So...with a little more persistence we were able to get straight hair...of course a little shorter than we hoped for. Oh well. :)
It seems that each day Emma surprises us with something new that she has accomplished or mastered. She can now stand on the step stool in the kitchen and pull off items from counter. (Oh joy!). Today I walked into the kitchen to find Emma had grabbed an apple off the counter and had begun to eat little chunks...chew by chew! This was quite a moment because Emma has only been eating pieces of apple at mealtime. So...I pealed the apple...threw her in the chair and away she went. She was in apple heaven. These pics explain it all.
While I waited to the last possible moment...I finally broke down and started playing the Baby Einstein DVD's in the van. Oh wow...has Emma been loving that. Although each time we are in the van now she points and talks to the movie screen. It is kind of funny...although a little annoying. haha...LOL :)
Watching Emma play with her toys has been nothing but amazing. It is too fun to watch her stir and stir with her pots and bowls in her kitchen...although we aren't sure exactly what she is making. Often we will ask her to "fetch"...the orange, the pizza, etc. and she comes running back with the specific toy to see our faces light up with excitement of a job well done. We are so blessed to have such a beautiful smart little girl. We can't wait for what lies ahead. :)
