Two Months


On August 5th we marked your 2nd month. Nina, Belén and Tia China and Tio Luis came over. Tio Luis spent the evening putting up a shelf in your room - and Uncle Randy's DVD racks in his. Your Mom's friend Mariana came by with her twins Amanda and Esteban to help celebrate. It was a low key event and by the time we got around to the cake you were already in your pajamas. But I did sneak you a little taste of the icing.


Two nights later you had a visit from Paloma (along with her parents, Anabel and Francois). Paloma is an older girl, already 5 months old. She tried out some of your equipment and showed you how it's done. You're not quite up to grabbing directly for what you want like she does, but by the end of the week you had worked up to sufficient arm thrashing so that you occasionally hit the mobile and the octopus danced around. Maybe not as smooth as Paloma just yet, but you were quite pleased with the results. And we're pleased, too. I love watching you concentrate on things, cooing and trying again and again to control your hands. Each day is a new accomplishment, Emma, my dear. Congratulations on your second anniversary!
