And so it begins...Emalyn turned 11 months and 2 weeks and it's like a light switch was turned on. She is so curious and gets into everything. Still quiet and sweet as ever (not as active as Gabs was at that age, thank goodness!).
The girls got a play kitchen for Christmas and Emalyn LOVES it! She opens and shuts the doors constantly, as well as putting things in and out of the shelves. She is also starting to sign, which alleviates a lot of frustrations. She can sign "milk", "more", and "done", and understands "sock", "shoe", and "blanket".
Danny stuck his beanie on her, and she thought it was pretty funny. She took it off and then tried desperately to get it back on.
Gabriela is beginning to be a big help w/Emalyn. She is understanding rules so much better (not that she always obeys, mind you), so she is constantly explaining to Emalyn what she can and can't do. It's too cute. While I was taking pictures, she said, "Em-a-LYN! You can't eat rocks, they are not FOOD! They are ewwwy."
After Emalyn's bath we were lotioning her up, and she reached over faster than I was able to stop her and she grabbed a huge fistfull of Aquaphor (basically clear Crisco). We transferred as much as we could back into the container, and then we rubbed her down again with her own hand. She was a greasy baby!
Emalyn finally found the tupperware cabinet at my mom's house and loves it! It keeps her busy for so long, it's great. Who needs babysitters??
