Can a person be both a baby and a toddler at the same time? I refuse to stop thinking of Emma as my baby, but lately she has also been acting like such a big girl. Her sweet little personality is coming out more and more everyday, and it's so fun to watch her learn and grow.
She LOVES to read. She brings me books throughout the day and then holds my hand to lead me to the rocking chair to read. Her current favorites all involve animals - "Barnyard Dance," "Noisy Farm," and "Doggies".
Her toddlerhood is also showing itself at mealtime. She once ate anything and everything, but now she is pretty picky. She does seem to eat better when I give her a spoon, so she has been getting a lot of spoon practice lately.
We have been having a lot of fun with the new words she is starting to say. She says "hello," "Dada," "uh-oh," and occasionally "thank you". She also knows what a cow, dog, and sheep say.
She is starting to like baby dolls and even requested to nap with Eleanor the other day. We've all missed Eleanor since Natalie outgrew her last summer. It feels good to have her back in the family.
