Emily updates

We've successfully broken Emily of the bad habit of screaming herself to sleep. It was our own fault because we taught her pretty early on that if she fussed for a while, we would go check on her. We cut ourselves off of this bad habit, and now Emily is putting herself to sleep with minimal fuss.

Emily loves to grab any cord plugged into an outlet because she knows doing so gets our attention. We tell her no, and she smiles, thinking it's a game. She grabs, we say no, she smiles. Grab, no, smile. Grab, no, smile. Over and over and over. This would go on forever, or maybe even until the Cubs win the World Series, if we didn't eventually distract her with something else. 

Kelley gave Emily some broccoli and cauliflower for the first time today. She liked it. By she, I mean Emily. Kelley still won't touch the stuff.

Nothing wrong with avoiding cooked vegetables. I've been doing it for years! HAHAHAHAHAHA

Kelley (and Kelly) don't know what they're missing! ;) Anyway, glad to hear Emily is no longer screaming, and keeping you on your toes. That's her job, so she is clearly successful!
