* Growth spurt has ended. Emma can now reach onto of countertops and tables. Nothing is safe now from her prying hands.
* 8th and 9th tooth has erupted. 2 top right tooth and top right molar. She has been extremely fussy/unhappy this week. First time that teething has really bothered her. At least Emma is sleeping through the night!
* I think Emma has finally caught up with everyone else in her age group for teething. 
* Items that Emma keeps with her during this teething time: plastic minnie, paci, milk and snack cup with baby goldfish.

* Starting to enjoy movies. Emma's favorite right now is Tangled.
* Has been using a spoon more frequently; we use applesauce for practice. 
* Nothing cuter than seeing Emma's bloomers under her dresses. A lot of her dresses are really short to show off her cute little toddler legs.
