July 2007 to April 2008

As of today, July 3, 2008, Emma is 2 years and 9 months old. She is 3 feet tall and almost 30 pounds and now wears size 3T in clothes and size 6 in shoes. The pictures and info I have put into this blog only take you to April 2008, so I'm already behind (ugh...smiles). It took FOREVER to post this much info and I knew that if I tried to add more, it would not get posted, yet again. I've only been working on the journal portion off and on since September 2007!!! So, here it goes...

Emma continues to marvel and surprise us with her growing vocabulary and speech ability. Her sentences now contain 10 or more words and all the parts of speech are there, noun, pronoun, verb, etc. Emma knows our names and she will use them from time to time instead of Mommy and Daddy. The first few times she called me Reneé, it surprised me and sounded a little weird to be called that by her. Now, we are used to it. She knows her full name and can pronounce “Ethier” perfectly. If you ask her what her Daddy’s name is, she will respond, “Jared Robert.” She also knows we live in Sacramento, California.
