7 Months

 
What a fun, busy month! From a visit form Grandma and Grandpa, a vacation, and Emmeline starting school, it was a whirlwind and in the meantime Corabelle mastered some new things!

3 Years

3! We officially have a non-toddler who is talking up a storm and curious about everything! It seems she has suddenly become a little adult, and when I look back at pictures from a year ago she looks like such a baby at 2. 

Happy Birthday, Emmeline!

This is probably the first year that Emmeline has really understood her birthday. For weeks leading up, she eagerly awaited the day. We even had a chain to countdown to the day. And finally, the day arrived! We celebrated the new 3 year old twice, with friends and family!

Emmeline's 1st Day of School

Emmeline has been so excited to start school and the day finally arrived. It just happened to fall on her birthday, what a day! She wasn't so excited to put on her uniform, but once it was on and she was there, she had a great day! Her teacher is Ms. Mugdha at the Early Learning Village of Stamford American International School. I think it will be a great year, though I can hardly believe she is old enough for school!

First Foods

A few weeks ago Corabelle tried her first foods. I've been a bit more lax in introducing foods than with Emmeline, and honestly, most days she's lucky if she gets one meal of real food! But, she seems to love all foods so far! Little has been ingested, but she loves the flavors of every fruit and veggie I've introduced. She doesn't love the swallowing/texture part yet and still gags and spits out most things, but I'm sure we will get there soon. She is already so much better at grabbing and picking up her food than just a few weeks ago! Although, sometimes she's still lazy and just leans down to eat, as you'll see below! :)

Well, I hate to jinx it, but I think we might have finally turned a corner this month! The fussiness appears to have ended, woot woot! It's been a big month from new milestones to food and visitors!

Emmeline-isms: April & May

Pamcakes (pancakes)

Elegator (elevator)

Schwann’s man at door taking order. Says hi to Emmeline. Grandma Julie says “I’ll take tilapia.” Emmeline:  “Ummm...I sink (think) I’ll has tomato soup” (jumping up and down)

Ordering tomato soup everywhere (can you tell her favorite food at the moment?)

“Oh my sweetheart. What’s wrong?” As she plays doctor with her animals

In May she started calling herself bunny snacks and likes to tell people her name is bunny snacks as she laughs.
