August 2010

August was another busy month.  Emily got to go to Niabi Zoo again with Grandma, Grandpa, and mommy. She loved riding on the train. The whole time we were at the zoo she watched for the train. She still says choo-choo, train, and ding-ding. She went on a pony ride, but wanted off the pony after a couple times around.

Emily is back at daycare with her friends. The first week was a little rough. She has learned how to climb out of the pack and play. Amy found her sitting outside the pack and play happily playing with toys. Her usual 2 hour nap has turned into about a twenty minute nap. We are not sure how she is escaping. My guess is she is using her upper body strength and pulling her legs over the side.

Emily is also saying a lot more words. She tries to repeat everything she hears. She loves music. It is fun to listen to her try to sing the ABC song. She has the tune down but not the words.

Emily is also attempting to learn to go potty. Another child at daycare gets a sticker on a chart for using the potty. Emily cried until she got a sticker on the chart for using the potty too.

Those are a few of our August adventures.
