Walking and Talking

I know it's been a while since I updated Miss Priss's blog about her progress. Sorry we've been in and out of town and I've had a horrible cold to deal with over the past week. But I'm back to update whoever reads this about how Emery is doing with her self! The past two or three weeks Emery has been walking on her own. She looks like a little chicken when she walks. She holds her arms up by her shoulders and tucks her hands into her armpits. She attempts to run rather than walk and falls often. Gee, wonder where she got that from? I mean we all know it's me because I am about the clumsiest person on the planet! She shuffles her little feet and walks slightly bow legged. It's adorable! Emery says quite a few words when prompted and sometimes when she is just sitting around she will blurt something out. She tried to have a converstation with just about anyone, but you can't make out much of what she says. However she does say it with conviction. "blah, blah...wah, dah, dah...duck" Also when she gets mad or frustrated she thinks it's ok to just throw things. No matter how many times she is told not to throw or has things taken away she still does it. And let me tell you, this little girl has an arm! She could be a Football Quarterback with an arm like that! She still loves to sleep and we cannot get down to 1 nap a day. We still have 2 naps a day, which was wonderful for me today and yesterday since I am sick and could sleep with her! Emery must have her sound machine and her own bed to sleep. She will not sleep with us in a big bed and will wake up if you forget her sound machine. While not a bad thing for everyday life, it is hard when you travel and she won't sleep in a big bed or without her machine (cause we have to bring it with us along with a pack n play). Last week we were able to book our Walt Disney World Trip for January! I cannot wait to take Emery. We booked some of our places to eat and Miss Priss's 1st haircut on Main Street! I am planning every moment and hoping for the best. I really hope we are down to one nap by then!
