Big Girl!

It's amazing to actually sit back and think about how much Emily already understands. Sometimes I will ask her a question or say something, thinking she will just give me a blank stare, but she responds in the appropriate way and each time I am so amazed. Just yesterday we were playing catch, with a little toy of hers and she was in to it for a good 15 minutes. I would say, throw it back to mommy and she would each and every time, and I must admit she has a pretty good arm for a 9 month old! Of course she was also so proud of herself and would clap her hands after she threw the ball. Speaking of, she is really into clapping her hands lately. She will crawl around on the floor and occasionally stop, sit down and start clapping, and you can see how proud she is of herself, it's adorable. I will try to capture it on video, but taping her is hard these days because all she wants to do is grab the camera, I guess she's into technology. She'll probably know how to work the computer in no time, scary!

Besides clapping, she is also really into sharing her food. She loves to feed me her puff snacks or even better, her peas...yum! Nothing like a nice smashed up pea being fed to you from sticky fingers, ohh the joys of being a mommy :) She also still loves to "talk" on the phone. Actually it doesn't even have to be a phone, it can be a toy, remote, anything, she just loves to put it up to her ear and pretend she's talking like Mommy. I finally captured it the other day, while out to lunch with Robin, she's too funny!

I was loving the gummy smile and I didn't want her to get teeth, but now I can't stand how cute these little teeth are...check them out!
