She has started speaking a little more. Her favorite word is baby and just loves her dolls. She also says mama, dada, muma for Emma, up, uh-oh (she sticks her lips out when she says this, cutest thing ever and will let you know if anything is out of place or has fallen down), dah! for her brothers. If she can't see them or thinks they are too far away she calls out Dah! Dah! until they are back. She also can moo and say woof but pretty much for any animal she makes a quacking sound. Did I mention she loves ducks! She likes to blow raspberries and will make a 'ithck' sound if anything is gross like a stinky diaper or ritz crackers which she apparently doesn't like anymore. She loves her food and says 'nana' and more. She says muh for milk and does the sign to go along with it.
She is brave and likes to go down the slide at the park and climb as high as I will let her. She is ok with swings but would rather wander around, climb stairs and dig. She likes to rough house, be chased and play hide n seek. If you sit down and open your arms wide she runs into them giggling, gives a hug and then runs to the other side of the room to do it over again. She loves to be outside and to look for rocks. We went hiking the other day and tried a hiking back back for the first time. She was so excited! She kept hugging my neck and peeking around to see my face and saying 'hiya!' We go on lots of bike rides and she likes being in both the trailer and the bike seat. We planted some veggies a few weeks ago and she had a blast putting the starters into bigger pots.
Love you Ems! What a sweet and wonderful little one you are!
