Emily is SUCH a sweet little girl. She will randomly come up to us and give us a hug, then go back to what she was doing. She "talks" a LOT during the day! She is usually very happy when she wakes up and is often content to talk to her animals in her crib for up to 30 minutes before she wants to get out. Emily gets VERY excited when Grandma Elvi comes over. She immediately starts taking out all of her toys to show to Grandma, and only has eyes for Grandma, even if Matt or I are at home. We love her so much, and are so grateful she is our little girl!
