More Milestones . . .

We have noticed lately that Emily has started trying to color in the lines instead of just scribbling on her coloring books. And the other day she wanted to just draw for a little while . . . and while I was watching her she started making smiley faces on the paper. I was so impressed!

She also wanted to dress up like T*nkerbell last night and today. When she is in her costume she told us we couldn't call her Emily but had to call her T*nkerbell : )

Abigail has started sitting up on her own. I have to sit her there but she stays sitting up for a couple of minutes . . .
. . . before something else catches her eye that she tries to grab:
you have to really watch this girl! She will go for anything . . . I've caught her gnawing on my shoes and Emily's shoes, she grabbed my water glass the other day and sent water and ice flying across the room . . . she's eaten napkins and magazines . . . and the phone charger! I don't remember Emily getting into so much stuff : ) And bless her heart . . . today I sat her on the couch to change her diaper and just turned around for 2 seconds to grab a diaper and she rolled right off . . . I guess every child has to do that once in their life.

And somehow today she pooped while she was in the bouncy chair and somehow missed the chair she was sitting in and shot it right down her leg and all over the carpet! I've put carpet cleaner down twice so far today and scrubbed a lot and you can still see the stain . . . guess those sweet potatoes she ate last night are here to make a permanent mark in our lives.

This morning Emily got up really early and came and climbed in our bed and went back to sleep and I never knew it. When Joe's alarm went off this morning I went to nudge him and realized I was nudging my 3 year old instead . . . she's a sneaky one : ) She managed to sleep thru all of us getting up and getting ready, including Abigail's loud jabbering this morning.
