The Kings: Emrey on the move...

Emrey is officially crawling and can't wait to be walking! One morning, about two weeks ago, Emrey stretched her typical scooting to a small crawl and by the end of the day, I couldn't keep up with her! Now, she is loving her mobility, racing out of her room, down the hall, chasing after Bailey and her favorite, experimenting with climbing up and down the small step at our landing. So far only a few bruises, but she's catching on pretty quick. I'm attaching a couple photos from two play dates she recently had with friends. One is with Emma, who is only 5 months older than Emrey. It's hard to believe, because she is walking, talking and knows her numbers and letters, AMAZING! She is very patient with Emrey and puts up with a lot of rough play from Emrey. Emrey is definitely in a violent mode right now, rather than playing with her toys, she prefers to chuck them out of the way, or bang them on the floor. She's not a whole lot better when it comes to her friends, but she definitely understands NO and is pretty good about responding to it (so far). I'm guessing this is probably a normal developmental stage, hoping she grows out of it soon. The second friend is Rowan. He is our neighbor and he and Emrey were born only three weeks apart, so he will be celebrating his first birthday very soon. It's hard to believe that Emrey is going to be one in almost a month! We are looking forward to celebrating in Boston when we go back home for Christmas. For now, here she is, on the move....
