Didn't I *just* post her 18-month update? It feels like I did, anyway. Not much has changed, her weight is staying stable but she seems to be getting taller (she can reach more things that she couldn't before). She's talking, talking, talking and every day can say more and more words. I can't even keep count anymore.
We're slowly but surely getting the sleep thing better. Last night she slept in her "big girl bed" (converted the crib into a day bed that's about 10 inches off the floor) from 8pm until 3:15am with not one peep. But at 3:15 she came into the room and wanted into bed with me, and then wanted to talk and play. I finally had to leave the room at 4:15 and let Joe take over so I could get a little more sleep. She went back to sleep and slept until 6:30 though. The night before she only made it until 1:15 until she was in our room. I'm not sure the difference, but who knows. I'm taking it one day at a time.
She's amazing, this little girl of mine. Not because she's "better" or "more special" than other kids, but just because she's amazing to ME. Every day I look at her with awe and wonder, and am grateful for the blessing she is in my life.
I'll try to post some new pictures once she goes to bed tonight.
We had a great time today with my friend Mary and her daughter Elyse, who is only 6 months older than Emma. The girls had a fantastic time, and I did take a few pictures. Emma definitely needs a playmate!
