What has Emily been doing?

Emily has discovered the fun of standing up on the bed or couch and falling backwards onto the pillows or cushions. She tried it for the first time one evening when she was sitting on the couch in between Joe and me. She kept falling back on Joe's lap and thinking it was funny. Now anytime she is on a bed or couch she tries to fall backwards:

She has also been wanting her pacifier a lot now when she is awake. She's been going all week to her bed and getting them out. She now has to put one in her mouth and hold one in each hand:

The last time she was like this she cut the bottom two 1 year molars so I wonder if the top ones are getting ready to come in.

On a side note . . . . I have to be a 1950s housewife for a minute and talk about my new washer and dryer. I love them!!!! Our towels and clothes are so much softer and fresher now and the dryer gets done around the same time the washer does instead of me spending alot of extra time waiting for the dryer to get finished. I also have a signal now to tell me when the load is done. The new washer uses such a small amount of water. It's so fun to watch it wash our clothes!!! It's pretty funny that I'm so excited about washing clothes now : ) I know that won't last for very long!!

I also have to give a shout out to Chick-Fil-A. I've never really had concern for what restaurants do for families with small children until now of course. But the other day Emily and I met Joe at the Chick-Fil-A on Hwy 92. They had a small display when you walked in with a basket of the table top covers that you could put down for toddlers to eat on. They also had small individual cups of cheerios for little ones to snack on. How nice is that! We will definitely be eating there again.
