Emma is finding all kinds of different sounds and volumes.  She lets you know when she wants something.  She had her two year doctor appointment.  She is 31-1/4 inches long and weighs 20 lbs. 4 ozs.  She has found her feet and likes to pull off her socks.  Of course, once the socks are off, they are then something to chew on.  She has a quick and fast swing.  If she doesn’t want something, she just lets it fly.  So you have to sometimes go searching for where she threw it.  The first place to look is across the room behind her.  She has learned to hold herself up on her arms when she is on her stomach.  She is getting stronger muscles because she likes to try to sit up from a laying position.  She has started to pull herself forward when sitting in her stroller.  She is becoming a strong girl.  Still fussy at times, but we think that is from trying to cut more teeth.  One tooth keeps playing hide and seek, so we haven’t counted that as a new tooth yet.  So we have eight right now. 
Love to all, Grandma Carol
