Another November,

This time last year, Emmy looked like this! She was just over 3 months old, and her cloth diapers looked especially funny on her little body. Fall for us looked quite different last year with an infant to figure out.

 Flash forward to this morning- the first Saturday morning in November. And Emmy is eating the same breakfast as us, bacon and eggs. ( Minus any coffee or orange juice, plus plain yogurt, which we've tricked her into believing is delicious, hehe.)  And she is babbling to us with excitement and seems to really know what she's talking about.
She can say a few little words now. Most recently-cheese and cat, two of her most favorite things of the moment. She also says car, and 'woo-woo' for dog. -Or any animal, she is obsessed with animals of all kinds. She says variations of "more" and "yes", which she may or may not actually mean when she says it. She does a lot of communicating by nodding for yes and shaking her head for no, which has changed our whole world of knowing what is going on in her little brain. I am very thankful to be in this stage:)
She of course says Mama and Dada, but most often she is talking about Dada.She has this new thing where as soon as Bron gets home from work, she immediately begins to show off in some way. She is usually watching a dvd at this point of the evening while I make dinner. And if there's a song on, she'll dance like crazy, or if there is a part of the show that could be considered even a little funny, she laughs hysterically and points and wants Bron to sit with her and play.

She is usually very shy and serious with people at first, but she is really a silly and fun little girl. 15 months old! I am sorry that I have not posted much on here with updates. She is changing so fast and I am busy chasing her around.
This picture is blurry, and a bit outdated, because we did paint our room by now. And none of those samples were used if you're wondering:) We didn't have to teach her how to brush samples on the wall, but she was watching and just knew exactly how to pretend to do what we (well, Bron in this case,) do. Toddlers are amazing!
Hopefully soon we can show pictures of our living room. It is all painted, and Bron is working on trim and electrical things. An Ikea trip is in the works, which we are very excited for! We've never bought new furniture before, so this is like a dream. Can't wait to share, and to have you over for a visit!
