Goodness me…where has the time gone? I suppose we were just
busy living in the moment, discovering new adventures, visiting family in
multiple states, celebrating the big THREE Ohhhhh’s and then some, that the blog
has once again fallen to the wayside. I do apologize for the lapse in updates,
and I will do my best to do a brief synopsis to catch you all caught up,
hopefully without boring you.
Speaking of words…. words-words-words. Boy does Emery have a
bunch now. Her recognition of objects grows by the day; car, truck, airplane,
cup, pup-pup, boy, girl, baby, train…. the list goes on and on and her skill for repeating things has become quite refined. Her
manners are really starting to sprout with all her “peas” and “tank you’s” and
she is starting to pick up “cooz me” and “no, tank you”. But the most exciting
one came just the other day when after I asked, “And what’s YOUR name?” like I
often do, she responded by pointing to herself and saying “I, Emmy” – clear as
day.
She is running around faster than you’d ever think a little
girl her age could, but she does and she will tell you “I fast” when she races
from wall to wall with everything she has. She climbs higher on the playground
than momma and daddy are comfortable with, goes down the Big Kid slides and scales
up rocks, ladders, and cargo nets in order to keep up with the older kids. She
is incredible and keeps me on my toes every time I take her anywhere. Heck, she
keeps me on my toes at the house! It may be exhausting and leave little to no
time for much else, but it is more than worth it! I am so blessed to call this
my little family that I make sure to give my thanks not just on Thanksgiving
but every single day.
