Motormouth--An Emily update

Emily has become quite the motormouth lately. The words and phrases that come out of her mouth astound me. She tells me how beautiful and awesome I am, which is very nice. She also looks at me and shakes her finger when she doesn't want to do something. She is super into Doc McStuffins and Dora right now. So much that she is often quoting Doc. The other night she walked around saying "I have a little feber (fever)" over and over. She also has started saying Take a deep breath. I love our conversations. She comes up with new words every day.

Em loves being a big sister and is constantly concerned with Beliza--Eliza's nickname from her sister a combo of baby and liza. Where is Beliza? Why is Beliza crying? I miss Beliza. Emily loves to give Eliza hugs and kisses. She also loves to help in whatever way she can. She will hold Eliza's bottle and throw away diapers. She loves to feel involved.

Emily is also very into coloring. She often says Mama color me --or color with me for those of you who don't understand toddler. She makes scribbles and names them. Our driveway is full of chalk drawings which Em calls the beautiful colors

I can not believe my baby is becoming such a big kid. She is full of personality and spunk. She has done an amazing job handling the crazy transition into a family of four.
