A bit about them all

Emmaline has really been mulling over the concept of death the last few days and what it means for her. She has approached me a few more times now asking questions. Things like: "Where will my head go?" "Where will my legs go?" "Will dirt get in my eyes?" She has informed me now several times that she has decided that she doesn't want to die when she gets old. It is so fascinating to see her come up with these questions and how she makes her conclusions about things!

Lil has now had three speech therapy sessions. She really enjoys them and does very well! The therapist uses some sign language with her and says that often with kids she will work for weeks to get them to do just one sign. Liliana has been picking up and using the signs instantly - learning several new signs with each session. More than anything I think she loves have that special "her" time. One of the newest words that she is saying is "May" which is her name for Emmaline!

Idgie is officially nine months old!!! She is a girl on the move now. I have to block off the entrance to the family room so she doesn't escape into the kitchen. It is only a matter of time before she learns to get over those couch pillows but for now they are a road block and not just a speed bump. She will crawl on her hands and knees for a few inches but for now if she wants to get somewhere far and fast, she army crawls. Poor thing, her knees and elbows are getting all rubbed and raw, even though they are usually covered by clothes. She is also loving the solids. Tonight she had a great time eating rice, peas, and peach spice cake.
