Emma is growing up so fast. She may only be 4 months, but she is such a busy little girl. She has figured out all her toys on the activity centers she received for Christmas already. She also lets us know what she likes and doesn’t like, in no uncertain terms. She likes to play with her Tigger while sitting on Grandpa’s lap and she doesn’t like it if someone takes her away from it… unless it is to offer a bottle to her. She loves shopping, but not in her carrier, she wants to see. She sits up in the cart and we put blankets and such around her to help keep her sitting straight. She goes through the stores laughing and talking. She likes apple sauce and hates green beans. She tolerates carrots, but keep the sweet potatoes away from her. She likes to watch football, especially if it is at Great Grandpa Lee’s with his big screen TV.

Emma likes going in the car seat in my car, but if it is dark and she can’t see herself in her little mirror, she will cry until we turn on the light for her. The sun shining in irritates her. We bought the shades but they don’t seem to stick to the window very well so we picked up her some sunglasses. It is funny when we put them on her. She looks so cute.

Jordan was away for school for a week and she really missed her daddy. When he got home, she would look at him and get so excited and laugh and laugh. She is a daddy’s girl. She will tease Brianna and look away from her when Brianna tries to talk to her. Then after Brianna says “are you mad at me?” She will turn and laugh at her. I know she is just teasing mommy to get a reaction. It is like a game.

When Emma has poopy diapers we tell her “ack” while we change her and she laughs like she thinks it is so funny. The other day when she was playing in her activity center next to me she kept looking at me and telling me “ack… ack” It wasn’t long before it dawned on me (via nose) that she had messed her diaper and was letting me know. She also does this funny little squeak when she poohs. It is always a warning to Jordan for him to have something he has to do right then… so Mommy gets the nasty diaper instead.
