I was born on May 6, 2004. I have brown eyes and brown hair. I may come across as a very shy baby when I first meet people but once I get to know you, I'm very cuddly and can be really clingy. My favorite people in the whole world are my mommy and daddy. Whenever the door opens when daddy comes home from work, I scream and giggle before I even see him! When he calls during the day, I jump up and down and laugh when I hear his voice. I also love my grandpa. Whenever I see him, I cry until he picks me up and I hold his face and give him kisses. Grandma was the first person I ever smiled at when I was 6 weeks old.
I am also very stubborn. My favorite things to do are to empty out drawers and cabinets. If you try to take me away from it while I'm still in the middle of emptying out something, I will scream and kick until you put me back and I'll quietly finish, then raise my arms to be picked up. Another one of my favorite games is "I'm gonna get you". Thats when I crawl around the floor while mommy and daddy chase me saying, "I'm gonna get you!". I scream and giggle and peak around the corner until they see me. That's how I let mommy and daddy know I want to play.
Almost every night, daddy gives me a bath and that's our special time together and every morning, I get into bed and cuddle with mommy. I lay in bed with mommy and daddy and sing until they wake up. I also loves to sing at church. During the song, I participate and then when the song is over I still sing and everyone always looks at me and laughs. I go to sleep every night with my bear. It's very dirty because I'm always holding it and getting food on it. I play with it's pink ribbon and sing to it while I fall asleep.

 

Blair thought you all might enjoy an update on Emily's little activities, that make her, her:

Emily Kate Bisher is the cutest little thing. Her latest joy is playing with the door stopper on the back of the door, because when she flicks it, it makes that really cool springing noise. She'll do it over and over and over... it's so cute.

Sometimes, we'll lay her down for bedtime, and she lay awake in her crib, whispering to her stuffed animals. Sarah, and I will sneak in and watch her. Eventually, she'll look over and see us, and smile, as if she's embarrassed.

Emily loves to crawl over to the TV cabinet, and rip all of the DVD's off the shelves. She'll pull them all down, until she is sitting atop a pile of DVD's. Just a couple of days ago, she managed to open one of the DVD's, and she closed it on her thumb. She cried, the delayed screaming cry, until Sarah had to finally put her to bed, because she was inconsolable. It could be categorized as her first encounter with pain.

She's catching on that she is supposed to wave when someone walks into the room. So what she'll do is, she'll wave towards herself, never at the person. It is really funny how her tiny brain is realizing what you are supposed to do, but doesn't exactly know why or how, as of yet.

When you're feeding her a bottle, she'll stare at you, and she will reach up, and start playing with your cheek, almost stroking it. It's as if she's saying... "Thank you SOOOOOO much!!!"

When Emily Kate was born, she came out screaming, and pulling her thick black hair. They placed her, screaming, on the table beside Sarah, and the second I said hello to her, she fell silent, and stared right at me. When Sarah held her, she was so at peace. It was amazing to see how quickly she just seemed to "know" who Mom & Dad were.
