Emily is SO pretty these days. I just can't get over how gorgeous she is. It's funny, because when she's around other people that she doesn't know well, she sucks her thumb and clings to me, and just observes, and then she seems kind of plain and quiet and that there's not much to her. So, it's hard to show her off. But when it's just us at home, or once she gets comfortable in new surroundings with new people, she just sparkles. She smiles and laughs and "converses," and she's so much fun! It's fun to see her little personality emerging as she grows.
I saw a friend's newborn baby today, and I am just amazed at how tiny he was! I can't believe Emily was ever that size - she seemed HUGE today in comparison. When I got there, he was awake and alert and fun to interact with, so it was an especially fun visit. Emily was hardly interested in him at all, but she got so excited at the dog that came to the door to greet us that she actually pooped herself. Hooray for diapers, I guess. Emily loves dogs! She giggles and shrieks whenever she sees one, and doesn't seem to be afraid at all, even when the sniff her or lick her toes. She also loves making silly faces (see pictures), and bathtime, and walking behind her little walker/cart. Now that she's spending more time upright - pulling up on things - I am amazed at how very tall she is!
Emily has now attended her first ISU football game. She was in the stands for a little less than one quarter, plus the pregame show. She especially enjoyed the ISUCF"V"MB pregame, with all the clapping and singing and colors and excitement. Once the football started, she just wanted to wiggle because there was nothing for her to do or see anymore. So, we left, and I put her to sleep at my grandparents house. We had a nice visit with them, and Travis had a good time at the game. It's sure more fun when they win, you know.
