Waiting and other Tidbits

There’s a lot going on, and not a lot at the same time.  Mostly it’s just a whole lot of waiting.  In the meantime, here’s what’s happening in our world:

• Emerson continues to do well at daycare and we are happy with the switch. 
• Tonight Emerson brought home her first piece of art.  I never really understood the big deal with parents wanting to keep their kids art projects….until tonight.
• Emerson continues to be a mama’s girl.  If I drop her off in the morning she has begun freaking out on me.  Of course, 5 seconds after I’m out of site she’s just fine.
• She’s finally using, like really using, a sippy cup.  That said, she’s still waking up in the middle of the night thristy.  Haven’t quite figured that one out yet.
• After buying a new pair of shoes and a little peer pressure girlfriend is finally walking.  Well most of the time.  If she *thinks* about it she won’t do it.  Stubborn like her Mama
• She’s using her signs!  Lala will be so proud.  Yesterday she told me she was hungry please.  YAY!  It’s not 100% consistent but I feel like I can communicate more at least.
• She’s waving still, but she isn’t doing the self wave anymore.  Now she shakes her hand in the appropriate direction.

She’s becoming more and more of a toddler and I’m loving every minute!
