Social Butterfly

This girl cracks me up:
Saturday we went to a shoe store and when we got to the aisle I needed, there was another little girl there. Emily instantly ran to her and within 10 seconds they were both on the ground taking their shoes and socks off gabbing away with each other and trying on ladies shoes together. They talked and talked about how pretty the shoes were. Me and the other mom were laughing . . . and enjoying our few moments to look at our own shoes with no interruption. All children have an instant connection. It's like they are all long lost friends.

Emily has also enjoyed singing all the Christmas songs this past week. We listened to her singing Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer over and over and enjoying hearing it. She also wanted to know the words to Frosty the Snowman. She kept singing "Frosty the Snowman had a lollipop in June" . . . pause . . . "Frosty the Snowman had a lollipop in June". It FINALLY came on the radio and we all listened to it . . . but I still can't tell you any of the words to the song.

Emily has still been getting up at least once during the night . . . this morning it was 4:30. I was greeted with her bow in my face asking me to put it in for her so she could go play in her room. So as I was lying awake early this morning I was trying to figure out a way for her to know when it was an appropriate time for her to get out of bed. I know she has no concept of what time it is so when she wakes up she thinks it's morning.

Abigail slept thru the night last night. This is how I found her this morning when I went to check on her. She had moved sideways during the night:
She is still more fussy at night than she is during the day but not as bad as a few weeks ago. I know that she is tired and it just takes her a while to get settled for the night to go to sleep. Since she doesn't take a pacifier she pretty much fusses when she gets tired . . . day or night. So we call her our "little fussy pants" . . . but I still think she is a sweetie! She has started trying to talk now and I L O V E those sounds. They are the sweetest sounds ever when your baby coos at you . . . sweet sweet sweet. I want to try to get her on video. I remember trying over and over to get Emily on video at that age and she would just stare at the light on the camera so I never got those sweet sounds . . .
