Its the little things

Although, as I mentioned previously, Emily has entered a contrary stage, she also keeps doing a whole lot of unbelievably cute things. She is becoming clearer by the day and although she is not talking her vocabulary is growing day by day.

She is now saying daddy where she previously just said dad. She has got the 'mom' sorted perfectly and is using it all the time now! Even as I speak Warren is bathing Emily and she is shouting 'Mommmm'. She is trying to copy what we say all the time and today on the way to her friend Ellie's house, she kept saying 'ey-ee' (as in Ellie) all the way in the car. It was too cute! Even funnier is that she keeps taking one of Warren's U2 CD's off the shelf, pointing to the Edge and saying 'Daddy'!

Another new form of communicating is pointing. If she wants to walk down the stairs instead of being carried she points to the stair. If she wants to do something other than is asked she points to the opposite eg. eating on the sofa instead of at the table. Also she likes to point to her hands if she wants something in them, particularly Cheerios or biscuits.
