Emersyn had a terrific Christmas! Above see Emersyn with Mommy, Santa's gifts to Emersyn and Emersyn with Daddy. Thank you to everyone who cares enough to continue to check this page even with the infrequent posts.

Now, a quick update. Emersyn has been really learning a lot lately. Her first word was "Car." She can point to the car and correctly identify what it is. Her second word was "Cat." Everything that is not a person and is alive is a cat. : ) You never knew that cats barked did you? Her third word is BaBa, which we are pretty sure means bottle. She only uses this word in the middle of the night when she really wants a bottle. It is pretty pathetic to hear her call out for a baba.

She can almost point to her nose, but usually misses and points to her mouth. We're proud, though, because she knows her nose is on her face.

She still is not walking - only crawling and walking with help from us. She can really take off if she only has a hold of one of our fingers. The funny thing is that when she gets your finger, she has you and you have to go where she wants. I think she is not walking yet because she bumped her head pretty bad a few times and is a little scared to chance it.

That's it for now. I promise to take more pictures to post soon.
