Well, Emma Kate has been such a busy girl over the last few weeks. She is walking all the time now around the house. She spends much of her time playing by walking to one area and getting a toy and then walking to another area and putting the toy down. Her balance continues to get better the more and more she walks. In China, we bought her some squeaky shoes. When she takes a step, they squeak. She loves them and it really encourages her to walk. With all the walking, comes falling. She fell today and bumped the area between her nose and mouth on a toy. She screamed and cried and I tried to comfort her. While she was crying in my lap, Cooper was sitting next to us on the floor and making this crying sort of sound too. It was the strangest sound. It was like she was upset because Emma Kate was hurting. Cooper making all that noise also acted as a distraction for Emma Kate and she got over it pretty quick. She does have a mark on her skin and I felt so bad that that had happened. Guess I don't win the mommy award today.
We went to the pediatrician last week and Emma Kate got a glowing report. She is now 20 pounds 14 ounces, and 29 3/4 inches tall. In the past six months, she has gained 5 pounds and grown 2 1/4 inches. We have now taken her off formula and she is drinking milk. We will next tackle getting rid of the bottle and use cups only. She only gets bottles at naptime and bedtime now.
Anyway, I know you are on here to get a quick update and then see pictures so here you go! Enjoy!
Fun with Daddy's hats!
A diva in the making??
When Emma Kate is walking around, she really wants to be carrying something.
Not sure who she is calling!
She took these bags from me after I emptied them. She put one on her arm and held the other one. And no, she was not allowed to keep playing with them...she was only allowed to play with them for a few minutes.
Who knew an empty box could be so fun. You can carry it around and you can sit in it and let daddy push you around!
