Without further adieu, this post is brought to you by Miss Emily.
Hey! Mommy is checking email cleaning the toilets. Time to practice my new skillz.
Most people like to lay around all day when they have a cold. Not me! I have stairs to climb!
Besides, look at how cute my bum looks in these jeans.
Just call me Sweet Cheeks.
That’s right. I’ve got the body that rocks the party.
Mommy rescued me and put me down with some toys while she baked some cookies. TOYS??? Toys are SO six months ago. I’m going to help her organize her canned goods cupboard.
She has salmon, beans and pumpkin all grouped together. That’s no good. We need to straighten things out here. Better empty it first, and then we can sort by food group and colour family.
I’m such a good helper. While Mommy cleaned up my mess appraised my efforts, I headed back to my new favourite activity.

Comment by Michele on September 20th, 2007 @ 6:21 pmCute video!!!
Time for a stair gate, perhaps??
Having said that, we NEVER had one here. Tyler crawled and learned to walk and all that stuff with stairs and NO gate. I know, I’m such a good mother!!! LOL.
You’re a GREAT Mom. With a split-level house we have too many stairs and not enough baby gates

Comment by Kami on September 20th, 2007 @ 6:59 pmi use the excuse of not cleaning my bathrooms due the crafty nature of my almost three year old.
she can deconstruct our dvd player in 3.4 seconds while smearing $40 medicine/compounds all over her and the floors.
she’s a sly one.

Comment by gorillabuns on September 20th, 2007 @ 7:33 pmI found you through Kami’s site and have been lurking a bit. I just had to say this was a great post. Your daughter is adorable and I love that you included some video. (Of course, I also love all the wood on your stairs and in your home. It’s gorgeous.) Okay. I’ll stop gushing now.
I’ll be back to visit some more.
Aw, thanks! And the wood floors and stairs? Built by Matthew. He’s amazing with wood (and everything else)

Comment by Mel on September 20th, 2007 @ 9:30 pmLove the climbing! I ran upstairs about a month ago still thinking it was fine to leave the ‘baby’ on the floor. I almost knocked her back down the stairs when I unexpectedly ran into her! And what’s with climbing into the fridge when it’s open?

Comment by Amanda Franks on September 20th, 2007 @ 11:32 pmShe looks soooo cute in her jeans! And so NOT-babyish! Hudson is so hard to watch now too. Climbing stairs, gettings his fingers caught in the VCR, opening the door on his forehead…etc. Fun…but tiring after hours upon hours, no?

Comment by joyce on September 21st, 2007 @ 4:27 amOh my gosh, you must be exhausted!!! Chasing around after her all day. But darn, she is adorable. LOVE those jeans and her cute little bum. She is going to be a boy killer!!!
Isn’t it funny that you buy them expensive toys and really, they just want to play with empty boxes or canned goods!

Comment by Dana on September 21st, 2007 @ 8:21 amAng, oh good gravy … she’s as methodical as you. Crawl, crawl, straighten right leg, stand.

Comment by Sara on September 21st, 2007 @ 12:07 pmI love her face when she reaches the top. And look at how much hair she’s got now!

Comment by Tricia on September 21st, 2007 @ 4:19 pmI LOVE the jean bum. That pic of her in the cans reminds me of when Kaylie dropped a monster can on her toe and almost ripped the entire end off of her big toe. Gross. Her babysitter immediately moved the cans higher. (Not telling you what to do, just remembering and being grossed out as I remember the sight … I don’t do well with blood.)
