Emma's got a nasty cold
March 15, 2004 by Adam in Emma
Emma's got a nasty cold. We're following her around with tissue paper as she oozes about the house. Poor girl.
I think she's still getting used to having me in the bed with Jamie as well, though I'm using it to my advantage. A couple nights ago she was crying inconsolably and I popped my head over Jamie's tired body. Emma stopped in shock and I offered up a "Where's dado's hair?" She patted my head a few times, then went to sleep.
This morning, Jamie called and put Emma on the phone. She was quiet for a long time, then said "hi dad". Though there's a chance it was just a random assemblage of noises, it was pretty cool anyway.

Emma definately understands the word "hair"
March 05, 2004 by Adam in Emma
Emma definately understands the word "hair". I can go up to her and ask "Where's Dado's hair?" and she'll promptly try to make me bald with her grasping fists of fury. The other day I swear she said "Dado hair". Putting two words together at nine months is fairly remarkable. Of course "dado" is her favorite word at the moment unless she's in distress in which case she'll switch to "mama".
It's neat that we can start communicating in words with her. I love being able to teach little kids new things, such as all the words for all the things in the world. I started playing a little game with her where I'd say "nose, nose, nose" while tapping her nose, then switch to her ear and other parts. Eventually she'll figure it all out.

Emma's starting to stand up by herself
March 01, 2004 by Adam in Emma
 Emma's starting to stand up by herself. The other day, she stood up without holding on to anything. Waited a second, then lowered herself back down again.
She also seems to be talking, though it's sometimes hard to tell. She can say "mama", "dada", "dado", "adam", and a few things that sound vaguely like "hair" and "baby".
Emma's also getting the hang of playing games like peekaboo and "crawl through the tunnel", along with all sorts of things we make up on the spot.
She really wants to eat adult food too, though I think we've got to be careful about upsetting her stomach. She was very insistent about Jamie's vegitarian meatballs last night, scarfing them down quite quickly. So far, fruits and vegitables don't seem as big a hit, just like her brother.
