standing

Once they took my socks off, and I was praised for standing up, I just couldn't stop showing off!

some new photos from the past week

 A girl has to have shoes!

 I got him pinned!!

 I like playing with my sister (as long as she's not touching my stuff)

there aren't a shortage of toys!

sweet dance moves

Name "game"

I feel like he's speaking a foreign language

baby control

 I sure wish I could get to the other side and play with my brother.  Mom got smarter with child #2...the gate keeps me from the stairs, the front door, and the bathroom!  It also gives my brother a place to play with toys I'm not allowed to have

 oh, you're taking pictures??

First train ride

 We got to the train station early, so I explored, ran, and got dirty

 here we go to Santa Barbara

 walking to get some lunch on the pier

 heading home

 no, I'm NOT tired

I love my grandpa!

Emelia on a mission

Recently I have begun to crawl on my hands and knees (rather than inch worming/army crawl), pulling myself up to stand on furniture, people, toys, whatever will support me, and now THIS?!  My poor brother is safe nowhere!  He was playing grandma Maggie's ipad, and boy did I want to play too.

p.s. those are 18 month pjs I'm wearing!
