Reading

We've finally moved into a phase where books are for Reading, not for Eating! Daddy is particularly enjoying this phase. She loves picture books that have actual pictures of babies, not so much other books yet. We did get a "Millie the Cow" book from the library that she seems to enjoy, I think because of all the bright colors.

Her *favorite* book right now is called "All About Me." It is a board book that has different flip pages and things about body parts, and she's gotten where she'll mostly follow along with what the babies are doing. She also loves to flip open the pages herself.

Her second favorite book is "Cow Moo Me" and a close third are all the picture books like "Eat!", "Sleep," "Hugs and Kisses," and "Peekaboo."

Fun Pictures

Just a few pictures of my 14-month old wonder. She's growing up so fast -- when I look at her now, I can barely remember my newborn.

We call her "Pretty Princess Polka-Dot." The crown was $1 at the Jo-Ann's store, and the blanket is clipped together with a clothes-pin! Cheap royalty. :)


And her hair has grown long enough already that she can have another shampoo horn! She absolutely LOVES bath-time. We've had to do a bath every night night, she'll say "Bubbles" and run to the bathtub, and try to throw her leg over to climb in. It's adorable.

Dancing and Drawing

Emma's had two little fun milestones lately. She's learned how to "dance" more effectively by going in a circle. And sometimes she'll hold Mommy's hand and we'll go in a circle together, it's really cute.

The drawing things is AWESOME! She just really learned what a pencil and crayon were this past Monday, and since then we spend time every day drawing. So far it's mostly a scribble, but I'm so happy because she's (1) not putting the crayons in her mouth as much as we thought she might, and (2) she seems to really, really enjoy it! She'll take her crayon and her paper, and climb up on the couch and stay there for the better part of half an hour sometimes.

Video proof! :)

And dancing!
