Words Emma Can Say/ Las palabras que puede decir Emma

Suegra - te prometo que voy a poner un video de Emma bailando. Nada mas necesito 2 dias :-)

There is a story behind each one of these words, but I notice that I write long posts, so if you want to hear a story, make a comment about the word you're most interested in. By the way, she doesn't say the words in parenthesis, those are only for translation of explanation.)

1. cracker (galleta)
2. mas (more - food, of course)
3. papa (dad)
4. gata (cat)
5. na (no)
6. po-po (I think you can figure it out)
7. la (she says this in a desperate way when she wants you to do something, like read a book)
8. ba-ba (bye-bye/adios)
9. mama
10. bon bon (marshmallow...he he he)

There are probably more, I just can't think of them right now. I'll probably be adding to the list as the days go by. She understands lots more than that; for example (se entiende mucho mas que las palabras arriba; por ejemplo) "Emma, apagalo" y lo hace. I tell her in Spanish to flip the light switch and she does it.

We love Emma so much and she makes us laugh everyday. Yesterday we had a really fun baby shower here at our place and Emma was gone with papi for about 3 hours. I realized how much time we really spend together and how used to that I am, because I missed her so much! She is getting so big walking around like she owns the place and even trying to run! We were chasing her around today and she got a kick out of it stumbling and laughing like a little borracha.

Here is Emma with her sunglasses that she only wears outside. She loves to be out on the porch to get her vitamin D.
