Freedom!!!!!

Our house has stairs in it and Emily enjoys climbing up these stairs every chance she gets. She also likes to put anything that she can into her mouth (refer to the previous bug post). Because of this I block the little walkway into our living room in an attempt to keep her in one spot that I can easily control. First she figured out how to push the basket out of the way enough for her to get through the space, which resulted in me putting more weight into the basket so that she could no longer do that. Then she started falling head first into the backet and she would be rescued just to try it again at a later time. Then she learned to climb!! I was in the kitchen taking care of some things and I looked over to the living roome to see a little head much closer than it should have been. There she was sitting in the basket trying to figure out how exactly to get out of the basket. She has done that a few times now so we put a bigger plastic tub in the way. She's already trying to find ways to escape.

She is also standing on her own. She is really steady and can stand for minutes at a time. She stands pretty much any chance she gets and I expect that I'll be seeing her walking any day now. It's amazing how fast she's learning and growning. She is also such a joy and blessing to our lives. I am so grateful that Heavenly Father knew better than me and gave me a little girl to love. We love to see her smiling and laughing and I love to hear her little voice trying to be louder than the vaccuum (In which attempt she usually succeeds). We love you so much little Emily!
