22 Months Old

Emily is 22 Months Old Today!!!

Emily enjoys playing with her puzzles, reading books, going thru the letters and matching them to the alphabet cards that we have, watching Elmo's world, "walk away" for walking around, playing outside, etc. She knows several colors and can identify most of the letters of the alphabet. She uses adjectives in her sentences now like "Emily's blue plate" or "Mommy's green shirt".

Here she was last year at 10 months old:


Last night Tara and Taylor came over for dinner. Emily has tried some of our corn on the cob before at restaurants but last night was the first time I ever put the holders on each end and gave her a whole piece. That girl went to town on her corn. She kept calling it "poppy corn". She ate all of hers and then asked me for mine : ) Here are Emily and Taylor enjoying their corn:
Tara kept Emily for me while I went to my sewing class. I've learned how to hem, put in a zipper, make a button hole, and last night I made Emily a pair of pants! I think I'm going to give this a go and try to make Emily some clothes. I will get a picture of Emily wearing them once I've put the elastic in and hemmed them.
