Hi there
All of a sudden, Emmie is the Walmart greeter of our family.
She says "hi" to Josh and I in the morning. She says "hi" to people on the phone. She says "hi" to people when she pretends to talk on the phone. She says "hi" to people she sees in stores. She says "hi" to homeless people she sees on the street. She yells "hi" and bangs on the window when she sees people walking by the house, which is approximately every 30 seconds.
It's awesome. She has this little tiny voice and it comes out as a clipped, "hi!"
She also likes to bid people a fond farewell with an equally tiny-voiced "bye!" Tonight when we put her to bed, we shut the door and heard her yell, "bye" behind the closed door.
The mimicry is really taking off lately and she at least tries to repeat back everything we say to her. Mama and dada are still her all-time favorites, but she's working in more each day. Strong candidates for soon-to-be-favorites include car, El and Go Diego Go. The latter making me fall down laughing every time I hear it. There's no sheltering the second child from the television.
Yesterday she started her music class for the fall. She took the same class (different teacher) last spring, but we took the summer off so I think she forgot all about it. She wore a new dress and was really excited to be going somewhere with just Mommy, but when we got into the room, she plunked herself down on my lap and wouldn't move. It took her a song to warm up, but then she was standing in the middle of the circle, moving and grooving, singing along and doing all the hand movements to "Wheels on the Bus."
She was even more excited about the blueberry muffin at Starbucks afterward. She knows where it's at.

Smart girl! It always takes Charlie a long time to warm up in group classes like that and I never think he has a good time. But then he sings all the songs on the way home and gets excited about going back, so I guess he does enjoy it, in his own way. Huh.
Penny is ALL ABOUT the "hi" and the "bye" lately too! It's usually as she's letting herself in and out of the pointless baby gates in our house though. It's a good thing she's cute.
Love it-- Jack sings the Dora songs (especially the "Wed did it" song at the end-- he even has a little fist bump move he throws in)
