Emily's Second Birthday!

I realized a few weeks ago I hadn't done a post for Emmy's birthday, so here it is. Unfortunately we didn't really get to celebrate that much this year because Emmy had hand foot and mouth disease on her birthday...which meant sore all over her mouth, bottom, and feet. To tell you how bad she took it, she is still growing back her toenails she lost. On her birthday she got a stuffed kitty from us, which she loves! She also got some candy, and we sung to her. My mom got her a cute little toy vanity, which she loves to hide things in.

To say that Emmy has been a difficult toddler is an understatement. One of her greatest qualities, is her lack of fear. This is also one of her worst qualities...as she likes to run into traffic, jump off of couches, and generally scare us half to death.  She keeps us on our toes, but James and I have noticed that she seems to be simmering down the last few weeks. She has a few words that she can speak; mom, dad, no, go, ashes(loves singing :ring around the rosie), micheal, baby, bye, and yeah.  She also loves giving high fives, not wearing clothes, taking baths, folding her arms with prayers,and playing with her brothers and sisters. She responds to music more than any of our other children have, and it can change her mood quickly! She loves to dance. She also is very good with her fine motor skills and that impresses me a lot! We love our little Emily, who is in the 90th percentile for height and weight, so maybe not soo little! I hope we can survive the terrible twos and threes, and fours! Lets just hope we survive this little whirlwind we lovingly call the beast, aka, Emily Camille Divis!!
