We had fun today going out to the corn maze. We didn't actually do the maze this year but they had a lot of other things to do. We saw the animals, pumpkins and games. Next year we will go and do the maze. It would be a great place for her birthday party when she is a little bigger.
I took a few pictures this week. Emma is getting so big. I think she will be walking soon. She is very confident in everything she does and she is determined. Emma has a new game with Ranger. She likes to give him his bone. She thinks it is hilarious. (See video) Tonight we played different types of music for Emma so she demonstrated her many dancing techniques. (see last 3 videos)
This has been Emma's first week at St. Lukes. There are 4 other little girls in her room. Emma is the same age as another Emma. There are two others that are 7 months old. By comparison to all of the other girls in the room our Emma is very tall and looks twice their age. She cries every time we drop her off. I pick her up most days. The first day I picked her up she said bye bye mama, bye bye mama. That is her first sentence. She has become a lot more vocal since she started. She is repeating words and sounds. She now says, bye bye (and waves bye bye with both hands), mama, dada, stop (she hears me say this to ranger), I think no, and then every once in a while she says something we say. Her first day she started off cranky, which you can see in the picture. She seemed fine when we first got there but as soon as we walked out she was upset. They said they had to walk her up and down to hall. She eats well and takes short naps. She follows after the workers in the room and she can be a little whiney. I think that will change once she gets more adjusted.
