little miss

Em is moving right into the true toddler phase - we don't have to watch her every minute she is moving, she is adding new words all of the time and showing interest in big kid things. She seems to understand nearly everything we say to her and hates to be told no if it involves being held. She can take no when it comes to Otter Pops for breakfast but if you tell her you can't carry her while you make dinner, watch out for the waterworks.

Lately I've just found so much delight in her. I love the way her hair curls around her head, her sweet puppy breath in the morning, the way she tidies up and closes every door she walks by and of course, her self-initiated hugs and pats. When I was pregnant with her, I was so worried I wouldn't be able to love her as much as I love E and everyone reassured me I would. I find that I love her in a different way - totally unexpected way. She is just our delight and ball of light. I love you Em!
