Helping in the kitchen . . .

. . . well not really . . . but Emily did enjoy putting these oven mits on while I was trying to clean up after dinner tonight. I was proud of her for getting them on all by herself!

Her bottom two teeth broke thru this week next to her 4 front teeth so she now has 18 teeth . . . all that's left to come in of her baby teeth are her 2 year molars!!!

I got excited the other day because Emily finally pointed to me in a picture and said, "mama" . . . she's been saying daddy for weeks and now finally mama!!! However, my excitement was a little deflated when she pointed to a picture of Christie Brinkley in my People Magazine the other day and said, mama . . . . I know I should be flattered . . . but hello . . . we don't look ANYTHING alike! So then I thought . . . well maybe she thinks all girl pictures are mama and all guy pictures are daddy . . . so I pointed to a picture of Tiger Woods and asked Emily who that was . . . and she said, "mama". Then I pointed to a dark haired man on the front of the Parents Magazine thinking she might say Daddy since he looked more like Joe . . . but she said "Mama" again in her sweet little voice. . .oh well!!!
