Emma is walking all over now. She is also so cute with the play dishes and kitchen set, pretending like she is eating and drinking. She has a big My Little Pony which is her “baby”. She carries it around and pats it on the back or bottom saying “awww” It is so cute. She puts it in her buggy and pushes it around then takes it out and puts it up to her shoulder and pats it again. She also has this new face she makes. If you tell her “No” on something she will stand there with a shocked look on her face… her mouth drops open and she looks at us like “I can’t believe you said that to ME!” Then she makes you feel guilty when she starts to pucker up.
She is talking a lot. She carries on conversations with you like she is so grown up… now if only we could understand what she is saying! She also pretends to talk on the phone. She holds it to her ear and says “hello….. Yes….yes….” That we can understand.

Emma is such a smart little girl. She knows which shapes go in which holes on her toys, but she can’t get it turned right to put them in. She also follows simple directions like “take this to your mommy”. She brought me a diaper when she had wet pants yesterday. Wednesday night she went potty in the potty chair…. Yeah!!!!… but then she stuck her hand in it… yuck! She will be easy to potty train I am sure. She laughs and gets such a kick out of everything. The simplest things seem to tickle her. She sings to me and dances around. She has a little chicken that does the Chicken Dance which she loves. She gets to flapping her arms and dancing around to it, laughing all the while. I plan on getting a video of it if I can get her to do it when I have the camera.

I have to say she is one sweet and loveable little girl who has grown and matured so much in just the two weeks since her birthday. She isn’t a baby anymore but a toddler, right down to the fits when she doesn’t get what she wants. They aren’t too bad though and very few of them. I sure love her lots and lots.
