Emma is 27 months old!

Emma is now 2 years and 1/4 old! She is turning into such a curious, smart and funny child.

She really loves her Woody doll, from the Toy Story movie. I got him years ago in college when the first movie came out. She calls him "my Woody" and carries him almost everywhere. She even sleeps with him at night along with her Teddy. She likes to play with Elmo and Woody together. They talk to each other, and she will make Woody walk and ride her little stuffed horse. It's so cute! She's also named two little stuffed kitties we have Chloe and Lillipoots. Sometime she wants to sleep with the kitties too. She'll hold them up and have them hug each other, and she'll also tell them to do this or that, or not to do something.

Emma loves to draw, color and paint. She's started drawing people's faces, complete with eyes, nose and mouth. She tells me who she's drawing, mostly her grandparents and Mommy and Daddy. She also loves to draw rainbows right now.

Emma is becoming very aware of her own feelings. If she's been upset and crying, when she's done she'll tell me several times, "Look Mommy, I not crying anymore." She'll also tell me "Emma happy" and ask if Mommy and Daddy are happy. She does make us so happy.

We are trying to decide how to move Emma to a big bed, if we should buy one or move her to the guest bed. She's still in her crib and doing fine there, but we want the change to happen well before the baby arrives.
