Well, it's been a while since I've written. At first, it was because I was waiting to get pictures from my sister (from our trip out to Ohio) so that I could post some really cute ones we got. But, then things just got busy....
Ellis and I celebrated our third anniversary! We've been outside a little more since things are starting to cool off, relatively speaking. Emrey had her first virus and was no fun to be around for a few days last week and we spent Labor day at home, hanging out with friends and eating great food the whole weekend.
Despite my not writing, little Emrey continues to plod along, developing her vocal cords and acquiring new skills daily. This week, I have been impressed as we watch her little personality emerge. She has developed a hatred for diaper changes and the wiping of her face after meals. She now arches her back, like she's in the circus when we go to do either. Other behaviors of note: she is imitating....and it's really cute. I've had a little cough the past couple days and she has begun imitating my cough and then looks up at me with a big smile, looking for a reaction (which she usually gets). She has also started signing the sign for milk. With one of her little, chubby hands, she will make the motion of milking a cow, while the other is clawing at my shirt! She loves to eat and is eating all sorts of little finger foods, cheese, bagel, mango, banana (a favorite), pasta etc...She has just about mastered getting the little chunks into her mouth, but needs some help with the slippery ones. She continues to be totally content sitting, while other kids crawl and run around her. She is showing some signs of reaching for objects, but still hasn't figured out she needs to put her arms out behind her when she's falling back :( This has made for many tearful screeches when she's playing by herself. She'll get it eventually.....
