The Amazing Emma

Emma's officially walking, despite a small balance issue :) She's enjoying the view from atop her 30 inch frame (can you believe she's grown 9 inches since birth?!!), though it's giving her parents frequent heart attacks. And she has also learned how to really crawl, so the getting around thing is much easier these days.
On Saturday we spent the day with the Tabins and BOOOOYYYY did Emma loooooove Clara and Caitlin! She would follow Caitlin everywhere (except the baby pool- didn't so much like that) and try to touch Clara and all of her toys. She's a social one! And lately she's also been having conversations with the babies in her Peek-a-Boo book, even trying to touch noses with them. It's really funny actually!
New language development-- she now uses the sign for "milk" every time she wants it, and has added the sign for "more" sometimes when she wants more of a particular food (like Macaroni and Cheese--- I know it's no good for her, but she had it and loooooooves it!) She's also babbling nearly all of her letters, even a lispy sounding "s". Very cool!
Daddy was just on vacation for a week and Emma LOOOOOVED it!!! She got to watch him outside while he worked, and to see him out a window is just HILARIOUS to her. So that was fun. Plus, she got plenty of fun guy attention and it was play time all the time!
OH---haha, almost forgot. Emma thinks she has powers in her finger. She really really likes to lay on our bed and then just point at the ceiling fan. It turns on, and she has fun just sitting and staring. When it gets to slow for her liking, she simply points, and it magically turns back on! Amazing little girl!
