Communication Is Key!

Emma and I have been communicating really well lately. I tried to upload a video to show you how she is talking but it wouldn't work.
However- here are some examples from our recent conversations:

• I couldn't decide which of 3 outfits to buy for her in the store one day, so I was holding them up to her. The 1st two I held up to her, she looked the other way and scrunched her teeny little nose. The 3rd, which was a simple- yet very silky soft onesie- she grabbed onto when I held it up to her! So- that's the one we bought!!


• Tonight in her little rainforest tub, I was bathing her and thinking- 'when do I take the little net out and put her in the big girl tub??'. Not long after that thought- Emma decided to go poopies in the net on the tub, forcing me to remove the net and set her in the big girl tub part!! She sat up beautifully for the rest of her bath (with my support) and seemed very content. I guess its net-free tubbing from now on!!

And since we are talking about baby products- I wanted to include my absolute FAVORITE item we use with Emma. The baby video monitor. I struggled with the decision to buy this- it was very expensive, and the more traditional sound monitors were much cheaper. We made the decision to buy the video monitor since Emma's room is upstairs and ours is downstairs- peace of mind.
And let me tell you- it is the best decision we have made!! I absolutely LOVE this item- I can tell if she is just fussy or really awake, etc. without having to run upstairs with every sound I hear.

Plus.... I get a bit nervous when she is sleeping, because as you can see below, she really likes to put things on her face when sleeping! She is such a little snuggle bug- but I love being able to quickly check the video monitor to see that she is still breathing!!
