I’m so sorry I’ve been MIA. How have almost two months passed since my last post? That’s entirely too long, because in these past two months, a heck of a lot has happened.
Let’s see. Miss Em is officially walking! I joke that she looks like Frankenstein because she walks with her arms out in front of her and her motions are jerky. It’s very cute. David is going to figure out how to post video clips, so we’ll record her soon and add that. She’s also been diagnosed with her third ear infection in as many months, and the doctors have brought up the topic of ear tubes. Poor thing. She’s been a bit fussier than usual, so now her temperament is about even with most 11 month olds. As David said the other night after spending several hours with her, “she’s a joy.”
Abby has been a cutie pie as well. She’s working hard on her table manners and cleaning her room. And I’m working hard at being consistent in enforcing these habits. How is she supposed to learn when I keep deciding its easier/quicker for me to just do it myself? She loves to talk up a storm and she certainly keeps us entertained. Today we were in the food store, and I went back down an aisle for a second time looking for something I couldn’t find. She said “Ugh, this aisle again? This aisle is killing me.” She sounded just like me being overly dramatic about something. It’s funny to have a little parrot around mimicking what I say. I need to be very careful!
Well, as I write this, it’s only 3 days until Christmas and we are all so excited. Abby hopes Santa will bring her jewelry. She’s only 3 and a half, but that’s what she wants. I just can’t imagine where she gets it from. Emerson is too young, of course, to want anything at all. David and I are just glad we have our healthy, happy girls and family around us. I just read a quote that says “Isn’t is wonderful on Christmas morning to have everything you want before you even open one present?” That sums it up pretty well.
