Emily

Emily is so much fun.

• In an ironic twist of fate, her all-time favorite food, chosen over any other, is green beans.  
• Her paperwork told us that she is quiet.  I wonder if they were just seeing a lot of our sick little ghost or if she's come out of her shell a lot being surrounded by a family.  She's loud, joyful, and exuberant.
• She's learning new tricks all the time.  Today she got ALL the motions of patty-cake right.  Not on the video, of course.  :-P
• Her language is expanding although most of her words are unintelligible.  She understands WAY more than she is able to verbalize.  She is a very able communicator without words.
• She's playing more all the time.  Of course, this is mostly in ten second snatches of destruction before she moves on to the next demolition site.  
• Everything goes in the mouth.
• The cereal cupboard is a favorite hangout.  

• She is a too early riser.  Mostly sleeps well at night.  
• She loves to be out and about, waving, blowing kisses, and being quite a charmer.  
• She loves being outside, tolerates cats, and is scared to death of even the life-sized stuffed dog at the library.

If you haven't met our Miss Em yet, we can't wait to share her with you.


By the way, the chain gang is "working out" quite well, thank you.  :-P
