Dearest readers,
Since my last posting, we have been enjoying the warm weather and watching Emmeline grow increasingly independent. She is now standing on her own for five seconds or so. Those first real steps are not that far away. She is still a very cuddly and attached baby (she likes to crawl over to us, sit in our laps and suck her thumb), but she has also been excited by her new-found mobility. Every time she does something new, she looks at us with her proud little face and screeches excitedly. At our birth center play group she is a little thief who does does crawl-by toy heists. She is into everything and moves faster on her hands and knees that most people do on two feet. She now has six teeth, the latest of which (front top right) popped through on Saturday. We have also been increasing her menu. It now includes chickpeas, sweet peas, butternut squash and organic Cheerios. She loves to snack on those Cheerios! One of her new fun games is to play with the kitties under doorways and shake their feather duster at them. It is interesting that she knows this toy is for the cats and not for her. She is so close to saying "cat!" It is still "dat!" but she also pronounces the occasional hard "c" without the "-at." She has many other sounds that she makes but none are quite as deliberate as "dat!" She is actually quite good at matching pitches when I sing notes to her...a future singer perhaps?!
I hope you enjoy these select *few* pictures taken over the last week:

Happiness is squishy peas!
