Across state lines

This afternoon we were up in Maryland to attend a bris for newborn baby Aaron Toby Swibel, the son of our friends from college, Matt and Beth. Since we were across state lines anyway, we decided to grab an early dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant in D.C., Alero. We were regulars there in college, and since Emilia is a big fan of Mexican, we were excited to introduce her to it. After making friends with the waiters and other diners, here she is enjoying her first tamale. Today is also Emilia's 15-month birthday. This seems to be a really important time for her developmentally. Everyday, her vocabularly is expanding. She has finally learned the word "please," although she doesn't use it as often as we would like. She is also charming us now my saying "cheese" when we're trying to take her picture. She knows her eyes, nose, mouth, ears, head, arms, legs, toes and hair. She knows how to fold her hands to pray and to say "amen" (which, by the way she repeated in the middle of the bris today). Her personality is really forming, too. She knows what she wants and is good at making everyone else perfectly aware, as well.
