Walking

Has it been so long since I've posted? Emma has been changing so quickly this past month. Once she started walking, the talking soon followed! She talks a lot more at daycare than at home---she knows her favorite teacher's name, Alicia, though it sounds a little closer to "Lisa." And she has "mine" and "Matt stop!" down. Matt is a couple weeks younger than her, and he must annoy her often! He is a bruiser...he threw himself down into my lap today, and it felt like three Emmas crashing into me!

She has developed a tendency to throw things when you catch her doing something. I saw her pulling out plastic plates, told her no, and she immediately threw them as far away from herself as she could, than she tried to give me an innocent expression---what, I wasn't doing that, it must have been the dog. How do you keep from laughing?

Still has her huge appetite..

We went to the local Apple Festival and Emma got to try her first merry-go-round!

I wasn't sure how much she liked it at first...

But after we got off, she tried to lead me straight back in for another round!

Hi, I'm looking for trouble...

Emma and Uncle Brian!

We found an Emma-sized broom so she can help mommy sweep.
