So, my sister Cajsa, had a baby a few weeks ago (Adison) and I was able to fly up for a week and a half to visit her. I took Emalyn with me and we had so much fun hanging out!! Cajsa and I went shopping (some window, some actual purchases) and I got some great deals on clearance clothes. I got this little sailor outfit (kind of corny I know, but as separate pieces it'll be great). It was quite an experience trying to run errands w/2 babies on different eating/sleeping schedules!! Serveral people asked if they were both mine, and I would say "thankfully no!" They are exactly 12 months apart - I would die. I now have more respect and empathy for women who have children that close together. I had them for only a couple of hours by myself and it got pretty crazy.
Lissa introduced the ipod to Emalyn and she is now obsessed! She is growing up way too fast!! Emalyn is just under 20 lbs (all my others weighed that much at 4-5 months!) and is still not interested in walking. She can stand on her own for a few seconds, but only when bribed :) If you try and "walk" with her, she'll march like a soldier and then just keep both her legs up in the air!! She's got some strong abs. Ema can say a few words, "mama, papa, brendan, blanket, ball, baby, book, up, down, go-go, & see that", and then signs "milk, eat, please, more, ball, baby, book", and understands quite a bit more. I'm sure there are more things she can say/sign but those are the more important ones that I can think of. She is a little bit of a picky eater, but eager to try everything. Her favorite thing to do is play outside w/her siblings.
