Emma's life seems an endless game

February 28, 2005 by Adam in Emma

Emma's life seems an endless game. She loves the "monster" game, typically involving hiding from monsters or having me chase her around the house, preferrably to exciting music. Yesterday we invented a game that involved climbing up me, then flipping backwards onto the bed. With her getting so big, it's like an extra workout every weekend.

Emma's also endlessly curious. She loves the light that comes in through our front door, exclaiming "rainbow" and pointing to it. When we're outside, she's always looking for slugs and bugs and interesting plants. I imagine they all run fleeing from her grip, as she tends to crush them with love.

She's also putting together long sentences like "Grandma Judy made that for you." and "Emma do it self." (when she wants to do something herself).

On occasion she can be pretty grumpy, bonking people to get their attention or grabbing things away from Sam. Still, she's usually very sweet. She'll give people hugs and kisses, and sometimes extend the courtesy to her stuffed animals, plants, or slugs.

Emma keeps getting bigger each and every day. We had a nice walk around the block just the two of us yesterday. She wanted to walk on every tall thing, poke in every muddy crack, and move rocks from place to place.

Her vocabulary continues to expand by leaps and bounds. She's also gotten very good at mimicking pretty much anything someone says. I'd imagine she'd be fun to bring to parties.

Emma was sick again yesterday, running a fever and generally whining. Poor girl. I think she ended up with three baths and spent most of the day holding on to Jamie. We've been keeping the antibiotics going as well as periodic Tylenol.

Dave and Kirsten came over for a little yesterday, in hopes of relieving me when Jamie went off to Angie's birthday. I think Emma lasted about five minutes tops before I had to do the daddy thing and distract her from wanting mom.

Emma's ear infection seemed to have cleared up earlier this week as Jamie took her into the doctor just to make sure. A couple days later, she was tugging at her ear again and reporting problems. We're back to a second round of antibiotics. Fortunately the flavor of this one is better and she doesn't struggle quite as much drinking it. The only weird thing Jamie noticed is that Emma now seems to sweat out an odd fruity smell. Weird.

Emma continues to be quite chatty. As I left for work today, she gave me a hug and a "love you". It was very sweet. I also got a phone call that included lots of confused talk about "pull white things". Jamie later let me know that she was talking to Sam about Little House on the Prarie and "pulling wagons". Context is everything.
