This has been a big week for Emily. I've started seeing more and more signs of her understanding what I'm saying to her and it's so fun to experience! I've been pointing to her mouth, ears, eyes, etc like all parents do but this week when I asked her where her ears were she pointed to them!!! . . . then her eyes, her mouth, her teeth and even her toes which I don't even remember saying to her. How cool! I know all you parents out there with older kids are like . . .yeah Jennifer . . . all children can point to the parts of their body . . . but to see your own child do it for the first time is really neat. I think it's funny that the one part that she still hasn't pointed to is her nose, because when Emily was about 6 months old Joe informed me that an article in Parents Magazine said she should know where her nose is. I said, "Joe I think she is a little too young to know where her nose is. Plus we actually have to teach it to her before she's going to know where it is." So we've been pointing to her nose for A LONG TIME now and that's the one part she doesn't point to . . . . that's pretty funny to me.
Here are some other things she's started doing this week:
1. She went to the trash can to throw something away when I said, "let's go throw that away."
2. When I tell her it's time to feed Bud she starts walking towards the garage door so we can get his food.
3. She walks to the refrigerator and wants to open it when she wants her milk.
4. When I told her it was time for her snack she walked over to the drawer where I keep her bibs and pulled one out for me to put it on her.
She has also learned how to feed Bud Cheerios. I know this is going to be a problem but I loved getting her on video:
She also enjoyed dancing yesterday to some new songs that I downloaded:

Two ADORABLE videos! Riley and I love that song. When I was still pregnant with her and driving around, that song would come on and I'd turn it up really loud. I'd say, "This it the jam little girl!" and pat my stomach. The other day it came on when I was driving home from WalMart, and I started to pat my stomach and talk to her. I soon remembered she wasn't there anymore, was a little sad, and couldn't wait to get back home to her.
