Peek-a-Boo, Daddy!
Emma Kate is SO BIG
Look, Mom...No Hands!!!
Emma is enjoying her alone time in the Pack N Play...she just realized that she can press her face against the sides. I looked over and this is what I saw. I just laughed and laughed.
Emma has had a week of new tricks. She is improving in her crawling, pulling up on anything she can get her hands on, cruising on the sofa, she is saying "bop" (it is SO cute), doing "SO BIG", clapping her hands to make noise, standing by herself for a few seconds and folding her hands to pray (on occasion). We are enjoying so much watching her grow. Right now we are really enjoying her vocabulary development as she adds more syllables to dada and papa-right now she is mastering bop (mama has not yet happened).
This video is Emma pulling herself up in the Pack N Play. I looked over the other day and she was standing. She loves her new found freedom.
Here is Emma playing with her piano. She likes to take our hands and use them to play with her toys (to do things that she is able to do). I asked my friend's mom who is an Occupational Therapist about it and she said that is a characteristic of babies that want to be in control of the situation and their parents (when it is for things that she can do and not to get help with a task). We are working on striking a balance between her using our hands and "Emma's turn". Unfortunately when we remove our hands she throws herself backwards and screams...isn't this too early for temper tantrums? Can you say STRONG WILLED! We love it and all the challenges she brings!
