I haven't had time to put up a new post lately because I have been very busy getting ready for a big family gathering at our house this coming weekend. I'm so excited about it! Here are a few brief glimpses as to what Emily has been up to:
The neighbor kids from across the street delivered a May Day bag of goodies to Emily. It included a blue sucker, which she has never had before. She sucked on it a couple times, used it to "stir" the popcorn and GoldFish crackers that came with it and then dropped it on the floor. It lasted just long enough to make her tongue blue. :o)
Emily has started referring to herself in the 3rd person sometimes. For instance, she imitated Austin & me standing on a kitchen chair to change a light bulb in the kitchen and said, "Emmy stand" over and over.
Emily has had a runny nose for almost 2 weeks now. It has changed from the yucky yellow cold snot to clear runny teething snot. She has two eye teeth starting to poke through on the bottom. That always makes for fun times. Today was a no nap day because of it. :o(
I picked up a cute little bug barn the other day and Emily has had fun playing with it. Luckily (sort of) there is an abundance of Asian Beetles in the house these days for easy catching. Emily seems less interested in the bugs themselves and more interested in the plastic tools. (also see video in May video player)
Emily requires quite the entourage wherever she goes these days. Her crib seems to be half full of stuffed animals along with her favorite baby blanket. She thinks she has to take all of it with her every time she gets in and out of the crib. It's funny watching her trying to desperately grab everything at once. It takes her arms and at least one load by me to carry it. Then she tries hauling various combinations up and down the stairs. Sometimes she just gets frustrated and ends up chucking them all down as far as she can.
Emily has also turned into a monkey climber. I've caught her twice trying to scale the outside of her crib to get at something still in her crib. The same day I walked into the scene in the video below...
