Personality Notes 7/7/10

Some of my personality/developmental notes:

In contrast to Emma, Becca is all about putting clothes on. She'll find shirts and pants, and puts her arm through whatever holes (arm, neck, leg) she can find.

Emma has started staging little scenes. She'll get a couple of the Little People and line them up (usually on the shelf in the entertainment center or the end table) and start moving them around. Not having them "talk" as far as I can tell yet.

Julie has started trying to make an "s"/"sh" sound, whenever I say the word "shoe."

The girls have been getting better about leaving their stuffed animals in their cribs in the morning, at least during the week. Emma now, though, will see us coming to get her, and pick up Bear and give him a big hug. And then she puts him down and is ready to go. It's so sweet.

Julie is quite entertained by her belly and her belly button. She also managed to get her diaper off last week. She was running around in just a diaper at the time, and while I was changing someone else, I happened to look over and she's standing there naked!

Julie marches in place for emphasis. She loves to smile, and when you make her smile, she'll do a little wiggle. But she is also very volatile. If you steal her toy, she'll scream immediately and fight you for it. She can turn on the screaming fit at the drop of a hat. It's like when she couldn't get up on the couch by herself: she'll cry and whine and yell and as soon as you get her up on the couch, she can turn it all off. She'll also steal whatever toy she wants and throw a fit when she can't have it. She gets frustrated very easily. It's gotten so bad that daycare sent a note home on Monday about a fit she threw. She'll scream for half an hour and still not calm herself down. I hope it's just a phase. Please tell me it's just a phase.

The time stamp on these two photos where she's working on a puzzle is 8 sec apart.



Emma understands a lot of words right now... book, bear, bib, cookie. She tries to say Bear.
