It feels like this little girl has been with us all our lives yet she's just barely turning two years old. Needless to say she's the light of our lives and we're completely in love with her. She is a very loving big sister and rarely gets jealous when we have to tend to Arves' needs.
Until about a month ago she used to be this shy little girl who refused to say hi to people even if we asked her to. Ever since my mom came to help us for Arvesito's arrival, Emily has broken out of her shell and is now a completely different girl. She is much more talkative and friendly to everyone.
Here are some of the things to highlight:
- Talking talking talking...Emily can say anything she wants or needs and very rarely we struggle to understand her.
- She has a great memory and can remember things we've told her only once
- Emily loves to run, she likes us to chase her around, or run after balls and has a little circuit at our house that she does over and over again
- At school she continues to learn Bahasa (local Malay language) and is still exposed to Mandarin through her friends
- Loves music and singing. She had the chance to see a live band during dinner a LOVED it. She clapped and danced all night and did not stop smiling for a second
- English is still her primary language but she still understans everything in Spanish and sometimes talks to me in Spanish
Since I'm writing this now that she's a bit over two I get to highlight some of the new accomplishments that come with being two - Tantrums. She's been doing them for a week now and boy does she have stamina. She can go for over 30 minutes of intese screaming, kicking, and just plain frustration.
We had a great birthday celebration with our Penang friends and Emily had a blast. Here are a few shots from the party, pool party in November thanks to Penang's awesome weather.
