2 1/2 years old - Little Miss Independent!

Emma is halfway to three years old, and is showing so much independence lately.  She will say "Mommy/Daddy, go" when she's in the bathroom because she wants to do it all by herself.  It's hard to believe she is growing up so quickly!  She even sleeps in a big girl bed now!

Our big girl weighs 31 pounds, and seems to be going through a growth spurt where she is getting taller lately.  She's been hungry constantly, and will eat 2-3 Go-go pouches at a time!

Emma now can say her ABCs and count to 10 with some help from Mommy or Daddy.  She loves reading "We're Going on a Bear Hunt" and "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" and can recite most parts of them all by herself. Her favorite TV show is Dora, and she is content as long as she gets to watch at least one episode per day.  Emma loves listening to music as well and we listen to "Wheels on the Bus" and "If You're Happy and You Know It" over and over in the car.

Sweet Emma Grace is very social and full of life.  She has play dates regularly and loves the park, bounce houses, trampolines and her weekly dance class.  Another love is babies.... she recently held a friend's 4 month old baby for almost an hour. She also totes her baby dolls all over the house and feeds them, rocks them to sleep, etc.  Another love is her dogs.  She takes Winston with her wherever she goes in the house, and feeds them handfuls of treats at a time (she's quite popular with them to say the least!).

Emma is changing so much these days and we love our sweet, compassionate girl to the moon, stars and back!
