Emily has taken to wearing socks on all limbs. Currently she is sleeping with a green one and a red one on her hand, and three on one foot and one on the other. Here is just one example. We went shopping, just the three of us, to get as many diapers as would fit…

We gave Emily craft supplies for Christmas. This was our first (and so far, only) attempt to use them. We made a little girl with a pink dress that fit on Emily’s finger. She had her buddy with her for an hour or so going about her usual activities. I’ve reentered the kitchen after a…

This week I washed dishes and made dinner for the first time in months. Andrew has been doing the majority of the household running over here,…

It has been two months since I did a moments post and I’m afraid this will be a large post with lots of catch-up. Going all the way back to the beginning of February…. My mom brought a box of toys at the beginning of winter from my childhood. I kept the box hidden in Emily’s…

Emily has developed a love for small spaces. She hides behind the chair in her bedroom or climbs into the laundry basket. Sometimes she brings things with her and hangs out by herself, but often she wants to have a really intense game of peek-a-boo. In the case of the laundry basket she likes to…
