Nine months old

Wow. Here we are at nine months old--and I thought last month was fun! Kid, you are HYSTERICAL! The other day when I came to pick Em up at the baby sitter, she was playing with some kids near the door. I walked in and said hello to her and then walked across the room to get her jacket and hat. Emmy stood up and said, "HEY!" and then threw her arms up for me to get her. Ah! She missed me! This has definitely been the month that she became vocal. Of course she says, "Mama" and "Dad" but she blabbers a lot more now than she has before. "Hey" is her new favorite word. But, my absolute favorite thing that she says is when she says "bye", she whispers it. Every time! It is adorable. I think it is because it makes her sad that she has to say goodbye.
Just when Emmy was doing such a good job of sleeping in her bed, she got sick so we moved her back with us and now, I am having trouble letting her go back to her bed. It's horrible of us, I know, but I just miss her so much during the day and get to spend so little time with her; we just love our snuggle time. LuLu is still her most favorite toy but she also really likes her stacking cups. Not necessarily to stack them but just to play. Emmy also loves any of her noise making toys... like the talking kitchenette or the ball popper. Her favorite food is still anything squash or sweet potato--her little nose is yellow at the tip from eating so much of them. Her newest talent is to clap or to go from sitting to standing in one step--no pulling up on anything!! The most adorable thing she does is to pat on you. As I type this, she is standing beside me patting me on the head. I gotta go get some kisses before we have to head to bed. My sweet, sweet Emmy.
