Our very BUSY Nut!

Emerson is so smart it scares me. She still isn't talking all that much, but the way her brain works and figures things out is super scary. She is also into absolutely everything. If things are quiet for even two seconds, she has done something naughty, whether it is playing in the toilet, drawing on the walls or sneaking into the garage to open the dog food bin so they can eat endless amounts of food. This first video clip is of here bellying up to the candy drawer. At first, she would just open the drawer and reach up fishing for anything she could grab. Eventually, she realized that if she opened the oven drawer, she could actually see what was in the drawer and decide what she wanted to grab. Needless to say, the contents of this drawer have now been moved. The second video clip is an example of what happens when she sneaks off and is quiet for a minute. Keslie and David just moved into their new house and we went over to see it. It is such a cute house, but every wall and ceiling surface needed to be painted. My mom and Keslie were painting and I just brought the babies over to say hi. Keslie had to leave for a minute so my mom asked me to help cut in some corners for just a second. We kept checking on Eme but things got too quiet so I told her to come down stairs and play where we were painting. We were horrified when she appeared at the top of the stairs. The pictures don't do it justice. I didn't want to even go upstairs because I could only image how bad it looked up there. She had managed to finger paint the only three walls that were completely finished being painted, as well as, leave a hand print on every rail of the banister on the way down the stairs. Poor Keslie had to come home to more work. Not sure if we are invited over any time soon now.
