So many things to learn in this big world! And Emry seems to
learn a new one every day. Whether it’s how to pull herself up to her knees on
something else (no feet yet – her legs still aren’t quite that strong) or
discovering how to bite in anger (yes, we tried that on Mama…)…well, new joys
come with more realizations of sin. Sadly, that is the way of the world.
But Emry remains a delight. She now signs “please” for just
about everything. She knows it will get our attention, but there are two
problems with her wonderful politeness. One, she doesn’t yet realize that
“please” does not mean she gets whatever she pleases. And two, we don’t always
know what it is she’s saying please for. Sometimes we don’t guess correctly…
She can now buckle herself into her high chair and stroller,
a skill she has been working towards for weeks. She LOVES buckles. Now if she
could only figure out how to unbuckle herself…
She likes to be chased. Off she’ll crawl as fast as she can while I
crawl or “run” behind her. Playing tag is still in the future, however, for she
likes to be caught and tickled – likes it so much she stops so you can get her.
And we have one new tooth. The top left front one is poking
through. The right one still looks like it wants to come in, but I can’t feel
it yet. Having a new tooth is a wonder. She quickly learned how to use it and
bites down hard with teeth on top and bottom to get through her animal crackers
or apples.
So many wonderful things to learn and discover as you get
“soooo big!!!!”.
Enjoying a lovely spring day in our overalls.
Licking the oatmeal cookie dough bowl! We got there before Papa!
