Eleven months of Emmie, and she lights up our world every day!
... everywhere all at once! She's up and down the stairs, cruising in circles around the house and trying to climb up the pantry shelves to get the jar of Smarties! She's is all over the place, and happy to explore the world around her. She loves to wave and blow kisses, and has been very precise in her hand movements lately - grabbing things with just two fingers, and passing things back and forth.
... a fierce eater, despite STILL having no teeth! [Seriously... I don't even know how those little gums are still so smooth! It's mind boggling — all of her sisters had mouthfuls of teeth by 11 months! It's crazy!] She gnaws on vegetables and gums on any food I'll put in front of her. Her current favorites are string cheese, pretzels, potatoes & carrots, smarties, and berries. She likes to grab as many as she can in one hand, and then carefully pick out one at a time to put in her mouth. It's very deliberate. Haha
... talking more and more! She is trying hard to say all the words, and has started talking and laughing to herself. It's so cute! She chatters with me and her sisters all day, and she is at the stage where so many things are hilarious! Phoebe just has to look at her, and she giggles and giggles! I love it so much!
... a water baby! She LOVES being in and playing with water. She loves playing in a bath, and washing her hands in the sink. She splashes and plays with bath toys and if she hears the water running in the shower, she comes racing in and tries to sneak under the shower curtain and get in. I'm hoping it translate to another confident little swimmer girl this coming summer!
... still my biggest momma's girl. She has no problem showing her preferences, and it's still all mom all the time! She's got definite opinions, and daily confirms that we've got yet another little Mighty Woman in our house. She is strong and determined, and I love watching her learn and grow! [I just wish time would slow down a little bit, so we can relish more in between the chaos of our lives!]
Blowing kisses!
These girls are the cutest!
So grateful they are ours.
