The other day I was reading her a Sesame Street Book, voices and all, and I said to her in a kinda Grover voice " Hi my name is Grover what is your name?" To which she said "emmlmn" is the best I can try to tell you in writing... I will have to get a video of it.. it is soo cute... She says apple and just today she started saying "oh man" in her cute little voice! She says turtle, and juice and please in sign mostly. I just can't believe how much she understands... It is so fun! She knows and will point to her Eyes, nose, mouth, ears, head, toes, and hands. oh and says all of them besides hands and mouth... when we say " where is your mouth" she says " ahhh" and opens her mouth and sticks out her tounge! So fun! In the grocery stores when ever someone looks at her she says HI.... and when we get to the checker she says hi then bye when we are leaving... they love it! hehe. So we have had so much fun.... I am trying to teach her all sorts of words.. I love to see her face when I talk cause she watches how I say it and she tries to copy everything I say even if she can't really say it! I know I have said it before but it is sooo fun and I love this part of being a mom!
Dan has been working really hard at work trying to get those security systems installed. I think he is getting a little better. We don't get a chance to see a lot of each other unless he happens to get off work early. He usually ends up working about 45 min to 1 hr away from home and they knock doors till 9:00 or so at night. I have to get up at 6 am every morning during the week so I can't stay up past 10:30 without being completely useless the next day.
This last weekend 4th of July he got off early Friday and Saturday! So we got to use a gift certificate to the Olive Garden my boss gave me and we even watched fireworks at the mall... Definitely miss fireworks over the lake though... We really had a great weekend!
Work is going well so far, and I got my raise that I wanted... I think I might have put that in here before. Still miss being full time mom though! Hope all is well with everyone and I will try to get some more pictures and a video of EmmaLynn up.

Such a fun age! I love it when my babies are learning to talk (well, love/hate... when they get so upset because I don't understand them, it's not so fun).
That is one of my favorite stages too!! I am soo sad not to be able to see her during this!! You'd better visit soon!! This stage is also what they call the "terrible twos" I have decided, because it doesn't always start at 2, I think(and with my kids this was soooo true) that when they undertand way more than they can communicate that's when there are tantrums and frustration, like Kim said, it's a love/hate thing :) I back that up 100%!! :)
