Emily is almost 13 months old!





We decided to start a blog and see if this is a good way to share pictures and fun Emily news, updates and stories.  

This week we started and finished the Library Summer reading program.  On Tuesday we went to register for the program and explained we had been keeping track of how many books we have been reading to Emily because we know it started last Thursday.  I told the librarian we had read 72 books and she said we were done.  The program was for every 5 books you get a prize and after 20 books you get a free book.  So we're done!  Emily loves to be read to.  She has favorite books too, if I get out the wrong book then she shakes her head no until I find the book she wants to hear, or she hands me the one she wants (that is easier and includes less head shaking).  Her favorite books include "My Mommy and I," " Brown Bear Brown Bear What Do You Hear?" and "Good Night Moon." 

Emily is getting very speeding pushing toys and is starting to steer them a little bit. 

Last night we counted how many words she says and stopped counting at 22.  She says new words every day, it's so fun!  Of course when we go places she is VERY shy and typically sucks her thumb and doesn't say a word.
