Uh-Oh!

Emily's vocabulary consists of several single syllable words like "ba", "da", and "muh" uttered over and over again. Case in point, she loves to grab Timmy by the beard and shreik "da da da da da da!", getting louder with each repetition. She has just started to associate her words with actions, like in the video above. Over the weekend, Emily started throwing things like her pacifier and sippy cup, staring at us, and saying "uh-oh!" (even though it was clearly not an accident!). Here she is amusing Garrett and me with her uh-ohs and giggle fits.

Jump for Joy

Here is Emily, finally using her Jumping Jenny like a pro. Tim and I have gotten tired of her getting into the cat food on endless occasions, so we stuck her somewhere new. She LOVES the jumper. We put it up on the trim in the hallway and she looks like she's dancing the "stanky leg" and she hops in a circle on one leg!

My Little Bookworm

Now that Emily is mobile, she likes to get into all sorts of trouble. I can't leave her for a second--she's been in the cat water dish, under the dining room table, climbing the hearth, and most recently pulling all of my magazines out of the side table. She appreciates my vast collection of O magazine and Ladies Home Journal.

If this is a problem, I can go back to board books, Mom.

No centerfold?

Ha ha, you caught me!
