11 months old

Emma is 11 1/2 months old. We are excited that in two weeks we will be celebrating her first birthday. Grandpa Eli and Grandma Annie have been singing Happy Birthday to Emma everyday, and teaching her what to do when she is asked, How old are you?


This month Emma has developed in learning things so much quicker. She is now asking "what's that?" and says "right there" ,"all done", "Hello/Hola", "Buh-bye", light, bird,she says "happy" for us to sing her happy birthday.She'll say grandpa, papa, daddy, dada, elmo, and... Chado.....=) (my mom's name is charo so that is her attempting to say charo.)But still won't say mama.

She loves to play peek-a-boo, now she hides herself and then will pop out and say a-boo!She will walk while holding on at least with one hand. She has mastered the art of crawling. I love watching her stand up with out holding on to something,she spreads her legs out wide to keep her balance. HAHAH! She bites so we're working on that. No biting people or anything other than food. She starting to get it. =)

Show me your tongue!

With kids, I'm finding that there are many moments that light up and warm up my heart.

Emma found her muscles to control her tongue. If you tell her, "Emma, show me your tongue." This is what she does.
