Just an update

Emilia is becoming more and more active... and mischievous. Each day I can see that she is growing, not just physically but also in her inteliigence.

#1.I honestly looked away just for 2 seconds and this is what she did with her snack.

She was licking the bowl when I saw her. I guess she couldn't wait for me to spoon it into her mouth.


#2. Now she wants to take her bath sitting up. She used to love lying down in the tub and kicking her feet in the water but now she likes sitting and playing with the duckies.

#3. She has mastered using a sippy cup. She's been using the sippy cup for a while now. Using a straw cup seems a bit harder, although I haven't tried giving it to her recently. I should teach her to drink from a straw now.

This is her after tasting apple juice for the first time. Obviously she didn't quite like it.


  #4. I made a tutu for her yesterday and today I took some pictures. Here is one of them.

#5. Her birthday is about a month away (May 31) and we decided to host her first birthday party at a restaurant (in a little banquet room). I've started planning things and sent out invitations. I don't think we will have too many guests but my house is too small for 12-15 people any way.

#6. She rarely falls/topples when she's sitting now. I stopped laying the pillows around her when she's sitting. I actually make her sit on top of a cushion as her PT suggested before he discharged her.

Any way, a few days ago, she fell and when she did, she happened to land her head on some 1" cube wooden blocks that were scattered around her. She now has a scratch on her scalp -it's so visible because she's got so little hair. Well...Mommy learned her lesson, and she's now good at tidying up the toys after play.
