Emma Ye-Seul Park: Week 50 ~ Random Pictures of the Week

This week was the first time Emma started to sleep in her own room. Until now, we had her sleeping in our room in her pack-n-play next to our bed. I wanted to wait until she slept thru the night and wanted to keep her with us until she was close to a year old. She's already going to lose out on some of the attention when her little brother or sister is born the last week of October or first week of November. Yes, for those of you who don't know yet, I am pregnant. I am going on 14 weeks now.

Emma only gave us a hard time the first night she slept in her room. I had to constantly lay her down. She would get up and cry and then I had to do it all over again. The next night she just played with her pacifier and then went to bed on her own like all the other nights. There were a few nights where she woke up briefly but went back to bed. She is a good girl. We can't believe how much she has grown already. Next month, she will be a year old!!

"Mommy...Daddy...what are you guys doing? How come I'm sleeping in her all by myself? Did I do something wrong? I don't want to be a big girl yet. See...I'm sucking on my pacifier. I'm still a baby. (Emma really doesn't suck on the pacifier. She likes to play with it more now.)

"Okay, fine. I'll sleep here. I'm going to give you a hard time tomorrow though."

I watched Emma's friend, Nicholas, for a few hours while his Mommy went to work. The two of them are about a week apart. It's fun watching the two of them grow up. Nicholas is more advanced on the physical side. He started crawling and walking before Emma. Emma is more advanced on the understanding and talking side. It's so cute watching the two of them play. They have so much fun.

"Hey Nick...did you get a boo boo on your head?"

"You should keep both hands on the handles. You might fall and bump your head."

"Oh yeah, I forgot. You can walk around on your own so you really don't need to hold onto anything. I still need to hold onto something."

The other night, we ate some watermelon. Emma LOVES all food especially whatever we eat. She never really liked baby food too much. Anyway, Song gave her a piece of the red part of the watermelon and she just squeezed it. So, I gave her a whole slice with the white/green part. She held it in her hand and took little bits from it. She had the juices all down her chin, chest and arms, but she loved it. We tried to take it away from her and she started crying.
