Take a good look at the picture above. You can see the top of Emma's head as she is holding her balloon (from her sister Janie), and watching another episode of "JoJo's Circus." Most days when Emma wakes up, the first words out of her mouth are "JoJo." It doesn't matter if it is 4:00 AM or 7:30 AM. She is a JoJoaholic. As bad as that sounds, it could be worse. She could be a "Dr. Philaholic" or "Little Womenaholic." With the magic of Tivo, JoJo's Circus can be played in all of its 1/2 hour glory whenever it is deemed necessary or acceptable. Our Tivo library now sports a selection of about 15 episodes.
Emma used to be hooked on "Go Baby." There were two problems with that offering. They only made seven episodes, and they only last five minutes. We would go through the whole series in one sitting. She still says "Baby" when she wants Denny to call up the Disney Channel website, but will seldom ask to look at the actual "Go Baby" url. Emma really likes to look at the computer screen, and the stuff Mom can
make it do. I think she is going to be a natural on the computer.
Back for a moment to the 4:00 AM comment. When she doesn't sleep the whole night through,she will wander in to the front room and kick me off of the couch, which is where I sometimes end up sometime during the night. She will then go back to sleep. We are hoping that it is because of the warm evenings we are experiencing, and cooler nights will help her sleep the night through. We can hope can't we?
We were noticing a few days back that she is not as hyper as she was nine months ago. Her attention span is longer, and she now has the ability to amuse herself. We just hope it doesn't have anything to do with the dog and/or sharp objects.
Emma freely gives hellos, bye-byes, high fives, and headbutts, so she is adding to her inventory of social skills. She's a sweetheart.
Ok then.

Wouldn't it be nice if little ones could become obsessed with variety instead of fixated on ONE THING?
We find ourselves reading the same book to Whitney five times a day. Even if it was a really cute book the first time through, it is painful by the 20th. Thankfully, she usually picks a new obsession every 3 or 4 days. Hopefully Emma will move on to something new soon, too.
She's also very good with stickers.
Give her a big hug for us, and try to show more of her in your next picture. (But that is a cute back of head)
and mostly she gives those great big heart-warming smiles. Just think, pretty soon she will be old enough to read "Charlotte's Web" and "James and the Giant Peach" and "Harriet the Spy" and "Little House in the Big Woods." Oh, I'm jealous, it's the best time of all.

Hopefully Emma will start to sleep better with the cooler weather. It seems like most of us do too! Emily is hooked on Baby Einstein DVDs so we can relate to JoJo. We use Baby Einstein in the car, at night and as a last resort! Emma is a cutie!
