Emily is 19 months old today. We are both excited to finally be able to wear shorts/skirts, although her poor knees & legs sure take a beating without that extra layer of protection! Some fun stuff going on:- You can catch Emily trying to sing almost every day. Usually it's a bit of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star." It usually goes, "Twinkle...Twinkle...star...how...wonder". Sometimes it's random ABC's. Recently she even started singing/responding to the "Wee Sing Silly Songs" tape that runs continuously in the van. Her favorite song on that tape seems to be "The Ants Go Marching." She says "Hurrah!" on cue. :o)
- Speaking of the van, that is also Emily's favorite play area. She shrieks with delight as soon as she's let loose from her car seat, and I swear she would be happy playing in there for an hour if you let her. I can unload and unpack an entire grocery shopping trip and then still have to carry her kicking and screaming back into the house. It's actually quite convenient and might really come in handy this summer as we sit around waiting for parades to start!
- Emily also really enjoys playing with watering cans as she pretends to feed/water everything.
- Emily recognizes basic shapes (see videos). She knows the names of a lot of letters and numbers, but in no particular order and not necessarily connected to a written character.
- On a not-so-cute note, Emily says "Ouch!" really loud anytime you do something she doesn't particularly care for. This includes washing her face, wiping her nose, removing her from playing in the van, etc.
The May video player is posted below and our May pictures are updated on Winkflash. Happy viewing!
