We're amazed at how smart she is! She can do so much now and we're just not ready for it. Here's a list of some of Emily's new accomplishments:
-She's starting to say some words (kind of). She says more (moh) when she wants some more food. When she wants us to help her with something she'll bring it over to us and say "eh?" like she's asking for help. One of her favorite toys is pretend phones. She knows that she's supposed to put it to her ear and say hello. Sometimes it sounds a little bit like hello, but it always has a questioning tone to it like she's asking hello. She'll also bring us the phone and have us answer it. Whenever a real phone is ringing she'll point at it or bring it to us and make sure we answer it. She starts to get really worried if we don't answer it.
-Just likes she knows what to do with a phone, she also knows what to do with a remote. She'll grab it and point it at the tv. She's so smart!
-she's started shaking her head when she's about to do something she knows she shouldn't. She also shakes her head if we're giving her something she doesn't want.
-Emily's learned to point this month. She'll point to pictures in books, food she wants, something she wants us to do, etc.
-She's taking her first steps! She first started taking steps about a week after her birthday and she's just gotten more and more confident since then. The most she'll take right now is about 5 or 6 steps at a time, but she can go forever if someone's holding her hand. She would much rather walk than crawl, so it probably won't be long before she's walking everywhere.
-Emily loves organizing things! She'll empty baskets or bags and then fill them up again. She also loves taking a set of objects and relocating them one by one somewhere else. And she's gotten really good at stacking things like bowls, cups, etc. She'll stack and unstack all day. She also really likes getting in and out of things like this toy basket and box:
-She's starting to get a little bit more cuddly. Usually only when she's tired, though. When I sing to her before bed, she'll lay her head on my shoulder and it makes me want to sing longer so I can soak up the cuddles. Occasionally, she'll cuddle us at other times if she's in a silly mood. She'll attack us with hugs or kisses and just laugh and laugh.
-She's just a fun, happy girl and we're enjoying every day with her!
