Lately Emma seems to think that I am out to get her. She blames a lot of stuff on me and I probably only do half of them. ;) Like today for example, I fixed her a sandwich and she was walking around and eating it. Brooklyn woke up from her nap and I ran up to get her and when I came down Emma was upset.

Emma: "Where's my sandwich?"
Me: "I don't know Emma, where'd you put it?"
Emma: "You lost it!"
Me: "What the crap Emma, I did not! I wasn't even in here!"
Emma: "Oh.... I ate it."

Oh my gosh, seriously? I don't even know what to do with this kid sometimes.

She also tries to punish me all the time. Yesterday she told me to go to time-out for not being nice to Brooklyn. I told her, "Emma, I'm not going to time-out". She said, "No, you need to." That may be true but I refuse.

She kept turning off and on the lights the other day and I told her stop, she didn't. So I walked over to her and slapped her hand away from the light switch, but as I followed through I hit her in the nose. She started crying and I started laughing and gave her a hug and said I was sorry. She then began to lecture me... "Mom, don't hit! It's not berry nice! It really hurts. Okay?" I wonder if she'll always be this way. I sure do love her a lot.

Brooklyn will be 11 months old tomorrow!!! She is now growling, saying "hi" and "ball", she waves and claps and stands up on her own. She has taken 5 steps in a row so far. We're still working with her. She smiles and laughs all the time. I have the best family. Amazing husband and wonderful daughters.
