Emily Update #6
 
My favorite foods: Black olives.  Pepperoni.  Raisins.  Chicken.  Anything I can snag off of someone else’s plate.
 
My favorite toys: My kitty from Mommy and Daddy.  My froggy blanket.  My scarves from Grandmommy.  The cats.
 
My favorite books: The latest Lehman’s catalog with puppies on the cover.  The National Geographic I got at the mechanic’s when we were waiting for Mommy and Daddy’s car to be inspected.  One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish.
 
My favorite games:  Rock climbing.  Being swung in circles.  Teaching the cats to read.
 
This week I:  Went down some shallow stairs without holding on to anything.  Went down some big stairs holding on to the railing.  Started getting some more teeth.
 
Mommy statement:  It’s been so long since she’s teethed that I barely recognized it.  And of course it’s disrupted her sleep a bit.  She’s still sleeping beautifully about half the time - but the other half has been pretty awful.  The other night she woke up every hour between 11:00 and 6:00 (although she didn’t need attending every time).  The time change hasn’t helped either.
 
Still hugging and singing.  I still can’t tell what she’s singing.  I do know she’s getting some traditional songs at day care, though - I sang “The Itsy Bitsy Spider” to her the other day, and she went bananas trying to do some of the hand gestures.
 
We’re going to have to move her to a bed soon - she’s starting to stand in the crib, even in her bed sack.  Sigh.
