18-month check-up

noreply@blogger.com (charmi) — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 01:03:00 +0000

I had a good check-up today. I am 32.75 in tall and 24 lbs 4 oz. I'm nearly the same weight as 6 months ago, but I'm definitely taller. The doctor said that is perfectly normal. I know 14 words, and the average is 10-15 for my age. I also got two shots, the last HIB and the first MMR. That should be all the shots I'll get for quite a while. I'll like that!

This video is from a while ago. It is of my drinking from a glass for the first time. I am much better at it now!

Emma reading

noreply@blogger.com (charmi) — Sat, 24 May 2008 01:17:00 +0000

I love to read. It's one of my favorite things and has been ever since I could remember. I just sit and quietly go through books by myself, or I bring them to Mama and Papa and they read to me.

Loving Mama Again

noreply@blogger.com (charmi) — Thu, 22 May 2008 00:42:00 +0000

For a while, I wasn't being very nice to Mama. I wouldn't let her hold me or comfort me at all. Only Papa would do! But now I am happy to let Mama take care of me again. I even get excited when she comes home from work at night. Don't get me wrong, I still prefer Papa right now. But Mama's definitely great also.

Here are our Christmas photos. They turned out so well!

Kissing

noreply@blogger.com (charmi) — Mon, 19 May 2008 23:45:00 +0000

I learned how to kiss on Saturday. I'm getting really great at it! I especially love kissing Mama.

On Friday we went to my friend Sri's house. She has a brand new baby brother, Prithvi. We all ate yummy Indian food for dinner. I loved it!

Saturday we went to the plant store for some flowers to spruce up our yard. On Sunday Mama planted them.

It was very hot this weekend, but has cooled down now. I have decided that I don't like the heat very much. I'm just like my Papa.

Here I am crawling up the stairs naked! So cute!!

Walking like a Champ!

noreply@blogger.com (charmi) — Fri, 16 May 2008 20:33:00 +0000

I am walking like such a big girl now. All through April I was practicing taking a step or two. By the beginning of May I was walking 6-7 feet before falling and then crawling on my way. But at the end of last week I graduated to full-fledged walker. Now I walk everywhere, and when I fall down, I stand back up and keep walking. No more crawling for me! Even if I'm sitting down and I only want to go 2 feet away, I'll still stand up and walk there.

Yesterday and today have been really beautiful, sunny days. So when Mama came home yesterday, we went for a walk around the neighborhood. It was my first real walk. No stroller, no Bjorn, no Moby, just walking! Of course, Mama did carry me from time to time. I like to stop and touch the grass and pet the flowers and explore the cracks in the sidewalk, and I really don't understand Mama and Papa's fascination with walking in one direction all the time. I like to go here and there and turn around as the mood strikes me. So sometimes Mama picked me up and carried me for a bit.

We stopped by the pool and I put my feet in and watched the big kids play. I hope I get to take swimming lessons soon. And then we stopped by the play gym and I walked along the bridge with Mama for a while.

I fell a few times on our walk. But I didn't cry at all! Papa saw that my knee is a little scraped up today. I'm such a big girl now! Yesterday sure was a day full of firsts!

Here are some more pictures from Thanksgiving time. These are from Thanksgiving at the Herricks and also me playing the drums with Sequoia.
