The Great Outdoors & Using Utensils


After a nice little April Fool’s Day snowstorm, spring has begun to taunt us here in Minnesota, showing her face sporadically. Emilia has always enjoyed being outdoors, but especially now that she can walk! She chases the neighbors’ dogs, insists on walking everywhere instead of riding in the stroller, and plays happily with her newly-liberated wagon. She doesn’t much like getting her hands dirty—always asking for us to wipe them off whenever they get a little dirt on them—but I’m sure she’ll get used to it soon.


Emilia’s also been practicing with the spoon and fork lately, with quite a bit of success. Here’s proof. You can also see here that she’s picked up the Spanish habit of soaking up whatever is left on your plate with bread. She saw her papa doing this and just started copying him; it was so funny!

Looks like she has a great appetite too!
And I see that the Children's Museum has taught her how to cook with carrots--I hope she paid for those.
