Emma: 1 year 17 weeks.

* Size 3 diapers. Size 12 & 18 month clothes. Size 4.5 - 5.5 shoes.
* Playing with stickers and coloring a bit more.
* Likes to supervise: supervised the A/C repairman while he was at the house and supervised the pinestraw being loaded onto the truck bed.
* Yes, Emma is still in her infant carseat and will stay in it for a little while longer, hopefully through the summer. She hasn't reached the weight or height limit and does pretty good in the car; might as well keep her in it as long as possible since it's the safest mode.
* Using the spoon like a champ; sometimes Emma gets frustrated & will try to use her fingers.
* Likes to lick the spoon clean.
* New movie: Cinderella.
* Some days it seems that Emma is really quiet & won't say too much. She is very independent and likes to "read" constantly.
* Enjoys helping Mama around the house, including: dusting, putting toys away, putting books back on the shelf, pushing the empty laundry basket back to the laundry room, and laying down in the middle of the room so that Mama has to go around her while vacuuming.

** I tell you that the life of a homeowner can be so frustrating sometimes! We just had our downstairs A/C unit break. Last year, it was the upstairs A/C and the heater broke when we were in the hospital. I am so grateful to be staying home with Emma but when can we catch a break with it!
