Hiding in the cabinets

Emma has been a little bored here in TLF, and clingy. She can't really go outside bc there is no closed off space and the steps are too big for her to do by herself. So she gets a little bored...and therefore creative with her playing. So far we have done lots of chasing her around the house, hiding in tents, and now, playing in the cabinet. She also 'reads' to herself, brings me books so I can read with her (as opposed to reading to her), snuggles a lot, and we try to go for lots of walks. She is getting so big and so smart...and ornery. She says all kinds of words, and sentences we think. If only we could understand them. Sometimes we can make out a word and we get really excited. Some of the things we can understand include, "I frew (threw) it!"(Usually about her binky), I do it!, movie, Elsa (from frozen), eat (when she is hungry), sorry, oh, um (when you ask her a question), think think (when some electronic thing is taking too long), choc (chocolate), and hit (she got in trouble for hitting so she now knows very well what that is and that it is bad). That is all I can think of right now. She loves anything to do with Frozen, and is getting more adventurous in her climbing. She still pulls down her pants/diaper fairly often, although not as much as before. 

And for another fun story, yesterday we took Pepper for a walk and let her run free since there are so many wide open spaces of empty field here. She loved it, was jumping all around until she jumped hard into a concrete ditch. Pretty sure Steven thought he killed her, she was bleeding for her nose and mouth and could barely make it up to the sidewalk where we were.  She seems to be fine now, but we think it set off a seizure and that she got a concussion. We will be more careful where we let her explore next time.
