Western Girl
Emily has also gotten into all the western stuff that has been going on around the house these days. We couldn't buy Abbie a hat without getting one for Emily, too. She chose this pink one and refused to take it off. Of course, the second time we went to the rodeo, we brought her hat but then she actually did take it off and Chad kept carrying it for her. This became problematic because all these actual cowboys kept smirking at him and saying, "Nice pink hat!" as they passed by. He was kind of embarrassed, I think.
The other big "event" for Emily from this past week is that she tried to climb out of her crib after nap and fell to the floor. She ended up with a bruise on her forehead but really wasn't hurt in any other way. It was definitely scary for her though, and she talked to me about it for days afterwards. Every time I put her down for a nap or for bed at night she would think about it and say, "crib . . . climb . . . fall . . . head . . . boo-boo . . . crying." This is her way of recounting things - she gives you all the essential words and lets you fill in all the small words around it. Needless to say, we have since put her mattress on the lowest level, which we apparently should have done sooner, but we just had no indication that she would try to climb out. And, I think that I have finally reassured her that she will be OK, but this was a really big deal for her. Hopefully this scare will make her think twice about stuff in the future, but who knows.

It's ironic that she likes a hat so much but doesn't like to wear clothes! Scary about the crib. Glad she is okay.
To your point, Elizabeth, we actually have some great photos of her wearing nothing but the hat and a pair of socks. She's laying on her tummy, coloring, with her little bare bottom showing and this giant hat on her head. So funny.
you're right - it is the cutest age :). it's amazing to watch them try to understand how the world works (or not). ouchie about the crib - she should wear the hat to sleep in too ;).
Cute hat but she might need an adjustment from a chiropractor after wearing that Texas sized hat!
We actually did take her to the chiropractor after her fall. A couple of things were out of whack. I assumed from the fall, but maybe it was from the hat! :)
