Emily - 3 years, 11 mo. - July 16

Here's our growin' little girl.  One minute she's talkin' baby talk to Ben and the next minute she's acting like a 4 year old going on 13.  Her recent nickname is Cat Lady.  She had seen these Beenie Baby cats over at my Mom and Dad's house and asked if she could take one home with her.  Well now she has quite the collection, 7 in total and I believe she's named 5 of them so far.  We mentioned Stripy back in May, and we've added Lilly, Bucket, Brown and Bubble. 

Emily loves to have sleep-overs at my parents house.  This last sleep-over gave us another Emily-ism.  She and my Mom were in their basement and Emily had been sitting on the floor playing on the computer for quite a while.  When she stood up she said "Mommo, my leg is sparkling.  Do you see the sparkles?"   Yes, her leg had fallen asleep and that's how she put things together.  She was convinced you could see the sparkles.  

Emily's recent food combination was blueberries dipped in ranch dressing.  I have to write this for the blog because when she's older she probably won't believe it.

Emily is enjoying having Ben around a lot more now.  It's neat to watch them play together.
