Emily - 10 month update

Emily got two new teeth for Christmas. It seemed like just all of the sudden we found that her two front teeth had cut through the skin. Amazing to us because she had not been upset or fussy that we had noticed. Here are some of her other recent milestones:
-She just started waving bye bye. She knows to do it at the door or window.
-If you ask her to where her ball is she can choose it out of a little pile of toys.
-She can say "All done" and give the baby sign for it
-She loves to play "Where's Emily" and crouch behind a footstool and pop up to "There she is"
-She's figured out the sippy cup for drinking water with meals
-She can balance unaided for several seconds and can cruise along the furniture like a pro
-She will now disappear out of sight if you get distracted as she is a fast crawler these days

Rachel quotes

Rachel has been saying some of the funniest things lately. I wanted to jot some down before I forgot.

"Yes, Your Grace" with a curtsey to Daddy
"Turbo wants a grey teddy bear for Christmas. He's having his Christmas today." (imaginary friend... about 5 days after Christmas)
"Mommy, we forgot to see the sunset today. You know that I love to see the sunset, right?" (so we went for a walk to watch the sunset the next day)
In response to the question what was your favorite Christmas gift... "The orange"
"Let's pretend we're skunks and spray Daddy"
"I love classical music" This is a big thing lately - she is a constant demand for classical music. Emily got her a (plastic) violin for Christmas.
