As I'm sure every 16 month old is... Emma is a sponge right now... just soaking up anything we can show/teach her. Her vocabulary is really growing and even though she can't quite pronounce many of the words she knows, she can point at things or make signs that tell me what she's trying to talk about. Or I've learned her version of the word. As if being floored by her vocabulary wasn't enough, she's quickly picking up her colors and letters. She'll just point to letters on the fridge and tell me what they are... and I've even asked her what some words start with and she gets about half of them right!!
We've gotten some good videos lately and wanted to share them. But beware... they are 2-5 min long.
Color Video - Notice how she puts the tail down near the fish to find its match. We made her do this again for the video, hence her want to be done.

One of my favorite things Emma has been doing lately is praying with us at meals. Not that she gives thanks yet, but she recognizes the need to take time before eating to thank our Lord. She was holding her hands for many of the first weeks but now she likes holding hands of everyone there. And I love hearing her sweet 'Amen' at the end of our prayers.
Sweet little Emma is not so little anymore! It's wierd to think she's only 6 months older than Georgia. How is that possible? So much happens so quickly with these little ones!!!!
