Lately Emma has been on the move! She has developed a new butt scootching move. She leans all the way forward with her legs splayed out and scootches her butt forward. I will put her down in the middle of the rug and step away for a minute, and when I come back she has scootched all the way across the rug to the toy she wants. She's sneaky like a ninja though, and won't let me capture it on video. She is also getting closer and closer to crawling. Today at storytime she actually lifted her torso up and was on all fours. So any day now....
Here are some other new, fun things Emma has been doing:
- talking a lot, and saying "mama" (but she doesn't know what she's saying)
- shaking her head back and forth like she is saying no (again, she doesn't know she is saying 'no', she just likes to shake her head)
- having lots of fun playing with other kids, her grandparents, and her auntie K
- exploring things on her own; she will happily play with toys on the carpet for a long time
Some not so fun things Emma has been doing:
- still waking up 3 times a night, and at least a couple times a week waking up every 2 hours
- getting super crabby at dinner time and screaming, and arching her back in her high chair, and kicking her high chair
- screaming/back-arching at bedtime. I now have to pace back and forth in her dark nursery with her while patting her back to get her to settle down for bed. I think she is just developing so rapidly, it's hard for her brain to slow down at bedtime
I am busy with school and taking care of the Ems. We are eagerly looking forward to spring time and being able to go for walks outside! Also need to start job hunting soon. Time flies!
