Emily is so proud of herself when she takes a few steps that she almost gets distracted and ends up loosing her balance. She has made it to 5+ steps, but stills prefers to hold our hands - it goes much faster that way, you know!
She absolutely LOVES walking, and wants to do so every chance she gets now (still while holding our hands for support.) Her favorite things is to go up and down stairs. We spent about 15 minutes doing that at MEC the our day while papa was shopping for his birthday gift.
It's so much fun watching her develop new skills. She now consistently says: "UP!" when she wants out of her car seat, her highchair, or her bed. She also says "WOW!" spontaneously - for ANY reason. Her cutest sign has to be the one she uses for alcohol (yes, she was thought a sign for this by her father!!! and will perform on command! I don't want to miss a moment with this little one - everyday there's something new!
We took her out (with this nice weather) in her new wagon - the one she got for her birthday from her Nana and Neni (German names for her grandparents.) It was so nice out that day that Sean decided the bunny could join us for a little while. They both had a great time!
