Love You Berry Much!

Over the Christmas holidays we received THE best gift possible - a second video of our little sunshine. The video was super short. I think we were spoiled from our first video of her which was about 12 1/2 minutes long. This one was about 4 1/2 minutes long. But it was still 4 minutes of pure joy.

So in our last video when Em was 11 months old, we learned that Em could wink on command. In this recent video, we learned she loves strawberries and dolls. The funny thing is I felt like I always knew this. In fact, how the topic came up was Em's foster sister mentioned that Emerson really enjoyed the snacks we sent in our last care package to her. They were Gerber's Graduates Fruit Strips and Fruit & Veggie Melts - both in berry flavors.

I've already stocked up on a bunch of the Gerber snacks to pack on our trip to Korea (which I'm praying will be sooooon). Also, I haven't been buying many toys for Emerson. But the one thing I've been collecting for her are soft dolls. Especially brunette ones. And guess what foster sister says in the video? That Emerson loves dolls. That she doesn't play with other toys much.

Coincidence? I'd like to think not! It's more of a mama's instinct for her little baby girl, don't you think?

We also learned that her foster family has been playing the video we made for, and that "she watches it with great attention." Hopefully it's helping her familiarize with our faces and voices so she'll recognize us when we meet!

The video we made and sent back in October.

We loved the video of you and miss you so "berry" much, Emerson!
