Emmie is talking!!

Okay, not really talking, but she started purposely coo-ing today!! I was sitting with her this morning and talking to her and she just starts making these cute little coos and smiling at me!! And, like everyone said, it melted my heart!! She is also starting to interact a lot more with different toys and activities. Last night I was playing with her and this little cow thing that rattles and she kept reaching for it with her hands and feet, she loved it!! It is so fun to watch her start learning the world around her, you can tell she just soaks it all in!! I can't wait to watch her grow every single day!! I will post some pictures of her either tomorrow or the next day!! Hope you all are having a great week!!
Here is a quote I found that is so true and something I try to keep in the back of my mind every day with Emmie...

"Children are like wet cement. Whatever falls on them makes an impression"

I'm with Christy. The more her personality grows, the more you will fall in love with her! You think you can't love them anymore than you do and then they do the sweetest or cutest thing and it just grows! Crazy, but wonderful!!

How sweet, she was talking to you. ONLY MAMA'S CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT THIER BABY IS COOING ABOUT! It sounds like she is feeling good and totally over that nasty cold.
You are absolutely right about remembering that quote! Each day we write on the slate of who and what our child will do and be by what we say and how we act!! That is also why you have to practice what you preach! Anna reminds me each day of this. I accidently used the word hate while on the phone with my sister and Anna was real quick to tell me that we don't use that word and god doesn't approve of it!
Merry Christmas!

As for the cooing--isn't it just the sweetest music to your ears?
