She is starting to do some big girl stuff now. She is getting pretty good at feeding herself with a fork and spoon. She loves to care for her baby doll--she is training to be a big sister! Her favorite things to do with the doll are to wrap it a warm blanket and to take it on walks in the baby stroller. She likes to color and scribble - although it gets pretty messy. She has also started cutting the grass at home too!
Emry is talking and communicating more than ever. She understands the meanings of a bunch of words now and she tries to repeat almost anything we say. Emry really started becoming interested in books this month. Her favorite books right now are On the Night You Were Born, Twas the Night Before Christmas, Madeline and Christian Nursery Rhymes.
