13 months

13 months and a bit less smiley than usual. our only big 13 month development/news is that e.t. is cutting her canines, chewing on everything, and not happy about it.

more books

books are still a pretty big part of our life right now. i take emma taylor to story time most weeks at our big awesome downtown library. we also have a regular book reading time right before bed each night. other than that we pull out the book 2 or 3 times during the day.

things that drive me crazy

that one missing puzzle piece or one missing block

words cannot describe how crazy it makes me to not be able to find the one missing piece, but with a little one i can only expect that this will be my life for the forseable future.

friday

both my sisters and i have memberships to the zoo. i love it because they come to columbia for it and i get to see them without traveling anywhere! they came to hang out at the zoo on friday and back to our house for a bit afterwards.

sitting on everything

not sure why but emma taylor has started sitting on everything. maybe it started with her wooden horse she got from her birthday which she loves to ride (read: me and glen push it up and down the hall while e.t. rides happily and screams when it stops). today i caught her squatting to sit on her snack cup. she will sit lay on pillows or blankets she pulls off the couch and even the dog. the other day she sat on her pillow pet and had a little snack. it was too cute so of course i took some pictures.
