20 Month Super Baby

This week has been crazy at our house. Brad had to leave for Illinois yesterday afternoon to be with his mother. I wish that we had all been able to go, but Brad didn't want Ryan to miss out on school since this was his first week. Becky had surgery today and we are anxiously awaiting word on improvement.

Today Emerson is 20 months old. I am amazed at what a brilliant, sweet, fearless little girl she is. She is learning words by the handful everyday. She is very inquisitive and asks me, "What's that?" to everything she doesn't know. She has started signing dog and cat. Almost a month ago, we started going through the "Your Baby Can Read" program. Emerson doesn't like TV so we are only doing the sight words and flip book. She loves both and asks to read them MANY times everyday. Monday night we were sitting together in her room and going through the flip book. I pointed to the word nose and she pointed to her nose and said nose. I screamed and scared the tar out of Brad at the other end of the house. I couldn't be more proud! I love watching her learn.











She wore a really cute outfit tonight and I was lucky enough to get some really cute pictures of her when we arrived at my grandma's house for family dinner. After a really yummy dinner (with homemade pumpkin pie, none the less) the two kids played and danced in the living room.
