sunny days are here again!

I know I've been pretty terrible about posting. There I've said it! Now lets move on....

We finally have some sun in Dallas! We went outside yesterday and Emme got down to "taste" all the leaves and sticks on the sidewalk! I did my best, and I don't think she actually got anything in her mouth, but she was definitely trying. I'm really looking forward to springtime. We're going to try to do some walking at the lake, and down to the park. Thats the goal. Emme loves being outside, and since shes loving being in the stroller for the moment, I better take advantage!

Shes at that busy stage (which I'm guessing, actually never stops, but please don't tell me that - I'm enjoying the thought of peace and quiet just around the corner!), and so we've been reading lots of books, playing with the ball, and learning that things have other names besides "da"! She says "da" for dad, and we're pretty sure that she understands what that means, and she adds a little "ga" sound to the end for dog. Her word of the moment though, is definitely "tickle" which comes out more as "ticko, ticko, ticko". We were thrilled when she started to say it, and were amazed at her language skills and understanding, until she started ticko-ing the couch, the chair, and the carpet! Oh well, shes on her way! She'll always be a genius to us.... (awwww)!

Thanks for checking in on us, and I'll say it again- I'll try and post more often!!!
