So I am WAY behind on EC's monthly updates on the good ol' blog. But I finished her monthly books which for me took precedence. So I decided until I wrap up her monthly posts I wanted to do just a random little update on what Emma Claire is up to these days. I created a "note" on my phone so I could jot down the random little things she does each day that make me smile.
- She LOVES to dance. Anywhere. Anytime. All I have to do is start singing a song. Any song. She will also dance to any songs that come on TV. Even commercials. Cracks me up.
- She is a full time walker. I haven't seen her crawl in weeks. And she is VERY close to running. That's right. RUNNING. I am NOT ready for that.
- On that note she loves to be chased. One of her favorite things is to run around the island in the kitchen and for me to "get her". She cracks up. We play the "chase" game all evening some days.
- She can say: momma, dada, dadadada (doggie), hi, buh buh (bye bye) and sometimes she will say nigh nigh (night night).
- A few days ago she figured out how to squeeze her bath toys and make water come out. Hilarious.
- She also just learned the corelation between me saying "milk", signing milk, and her getting to nurse. At first I could sign milk without saying anything and she would try and lift my shirt. Now she has learned to sign milk. ADORABLE. Today after MOPS I was telling a few friends that she has learned how to sign milk and what it means. Well, I was obviously doing the sign and saying milk so guess who decided she wanted to nurse right. that. second. It was pretty funny.
- She loves to throw things. Usually at me.
- She loves drinking straight from a cup. She is also a rock star at drinking from straws. She was never a bottle baby and that's fine by me.
- She loves Dixie. She loves Gracie too but Gracie does not return her affection. She tends to run away anytime Emma Claire comes towards her. Which doesn't seem to bother her, she can usually get her hands on Dixie if Gracie runs away.
- Okay so this last "point" of mine is probably my favorite new development in Emma Claire land. She has started to give hugs. Y'all it is the cutest thing EVER. Today after MOPS a bunch of the kiddos were running around in the fellowship hall and Emma Claire started going up to the "big" kids (aka the 2 year olds) and giving them hugs. She would wrap her arms around them, lay her head on their shoulder, and smile. It was PRECIOUS. A few of the kids were not too sure about it. We were all cracking up. She just had to go give all of the kids hugs. I was so bummed I didn't have my camera, or my phone with me!
She is just getting so BIG and dare I say it...TODDLER-ISH! AH!
Honestly I am more okay with this than I thought I would be. She is getting to be more and more fun and interactive, which I'm loving!
My big girl and I before MOPS this morning.
Gosh I adore her. So sweet.
