After she started walking on her own, she really took off. Now she is very steady on her feet and is even beginning to run a little bit...it's more like a trot right now, actually. :) She loves to climb the baby jungle gym that is only a block from our house. It has a little slide that is just her size! That is one of our daily activities when it's not too cold.
Currently, her vocabulary is upwards of 100 words...this includes words she uses volitionally and we are sure she has a good understanding of their meaning. However, she can articulate many more. Some fun words she can repeat right now include Dallas & Texas. We have even practiced some of the books of the Bible! It is hilarious to hear that little voice try say some of those big words. She thinks it's pretty funny too. She is also putting two words together a lot, like "Help Mommy" and "Brush teeth."
Emily is all about her stuffed animals and babies. She carries them around the house non-stop, pushing them in her toy stroller, patting them, rocking them, taking all of their clothes off, trying to change their diapers. It's really cute.
Some other things she loves right now are putting Mommy's jewelry on, and talking on the phone. She'll walk around the entire house, talking up a storm with the telephone, with her free hand flying around in grand gestures. We also recently bought a piano, which Emily and I enjoy playing together.
Life is pretty busy these days. But Kyle and I are enjoying growing with our little girl!
