23 Months Old!

Emily is 23 Months Old Today!!!

I can't believe our baby girl is about to be 2!!! Oh my! We see little glimpses of her independence coming out from time to time. She definitely wants to try everything herself these days . . . and for the most part she does well. The past week she has climbed up into the car and into her carseat waiting for me to buckle her in . . . I must say that is a nice skill to have since her car seat is in the middle and not the easiest to get into when you are trying to pick up a 23 pound child! I can also feel her 2 year molars starting to cut thru the skin. We could tell she was teething because at night time when she has her pacifiers she chews on them constantly. Her food preferences have changed as well . . . instead of gobbling down brocolli and okra she likes to gobble down pizza : ). She still eats her veggies . . . just not with the gusto that she used to have. Last night on the way home we heard her counting in the car and she counted from 1 - 7 and then "Ah Ah Ah" like the count does . . . what!!! It's amazing how they just pick up stuff . . . I wish my brain would absorb new things that easily : )
