Hats

Emily is definitely a hat girl.

Toddler play

This weekend I was able to observe my daughter Emily (22 months old) and my niece Amelia (26 months old) interact. This is the third time they've met, but the first time they played together. When Emily was 3 weeks old, she didn't even notice 3 month old Amelia. When they were both around 1, still not interested in each other. I use the term "play together" lightly, because just like all the books say - toddlers really don't play "together," they simply play "near" each other.

Family Visit August 2011

My sister and her family are in town this week, which gives Emily an opportunity to visit with her cousins Graham and Amelia. On Sunday morning we went for a walk at Jordan River Parkway. Then Sunday evening we went to Baba and Nana's for Graham's 8th birthday party. This is Emily with Baba, Amelia, and Graham giving a very charming speech at the end of the night thanking everyone for the party.
