18 months!

So technically I turned 18 months yesterday when mommy turned 29, but I think we can forgive her for being late. Actually you will just have to since she has some videos that I want her to put too and tonight she just doesn't have the time for that and a workout. So todays will just be a quicker post with just photos.

So I can say some new words. I'm pretty good at saying Ryan. But I also say "mana" for banana and something that mommy says is almost like cracker.

I climb in and out of my own highchair for dinner now. I love it! I also almost scaled the changing table in my room until mommy caught me.

My biggest excitement this month is my potty chair :) I pee in it almost every night now! I even sometimes go during the day. For some reason anytime I'm in the bathroom and I say pee pee mommy takes me diaper off and puts me there. She gets all excited when I pee in it though. Oh and I even pooped some once too :)




I pretty much just take showers now. Since I love to play in the falling water and it's easier for mommy and daddy to toss me in the shower with them. So mommy bought a new bath matt so I won't fall when I'm standing.



Food I'm getting better with. I still and pretty fussy about certain things, but seem to go through stages of what I want. I recently wouldn't touch "manas" but now I'm back to loving them again. Oh I say toast too...when mommy makes hers I chase her down when I hear it pop up saying toast so I can get some too.



I still absolutely LOVE art. Anything art too it seems. Grandma Dineen and I did some beading and I got to fingerpaint some. I also painted daddy a heart for his office and did some more pom pom work.

See my necklace!

I've been getting into mommy and daddy's laundry more..I love to put on their clothes. Mommy doens't like it when I wear hers or daddy's underwear...but those are the easier for to get over my head! So she's taken to tying her shirts on me on occasion as a compromise.


Mommy and I both have pretty pretty nails :) She was putting this paint stuff on them and I was really interested so she went ahead and put a little on mine too :) Aren't just gorgeous!



I also get to hang out with friends alot still. The twins are coming back around lots and mommy said something about Ryan might start visiting some days too. Check us out in my new ball pit!



Well thats about all folks. Nothing much more thats really new. I'm growing. I'm just reaching 23lbs now. Mommy hasn't remeasured the twins and I yet so she doesn't know how tall I am. But people keep saying I look taller. I love to try out new words. And I almost know where my cheek and neck are...which goes along with the ears, eyes, hair, nose, mouth, fingers, toes, and belly I already know :)

Oh and I GUESS I should mention. I totally ruined one of mommy's memory cards for her camera that had a bunch of pictures on it from this past month too :\ So any of our friends who went to Jumping Jungle with us...if you have pics can you please give them to her???

Some of Em's favorite KneeBouncer Games

Happy Birthday Grandma!

I love cake! And look how big this one is!


Here Grandma have a bite! I can't eat it by myself!

Christmas with the Herne's

Grammie, Gramps, Uncle Zach and Aunt Sarah came to visit. And look they brought me presents :) What is it?


Cool a farm! Dad hurry up with those batteries!


The kitty really liked the box too :)


See I told you Grammie and Aunt Sarah were there :)

Thank you for the presents everyone! I love them!

RYAN!

Check out his trick to how to hold the ball and his sippy cup :) Cool eh?

Yup he's my boy :) I think we make a cute couple, what do you think?

New Fishies!

Meet me two new fishes. Well not so new now, but still alive and well :) The purple one is Omicron (greek letter Oo) and then pink one is Mu (greek letter Μμ).


I think they are pretty cool to watch :) Mommy won't let me touch them though. I guess maybe they are like the kitties and don't like to be touched...but the fishies can't run as far...

17 Months :)

Wow I'm 17 months old...thats OLD! I need to stop growing I don't want to be 2!
So what can I tell you about this past month...hmmmm



I really like to dance as of recent. So its a good thing mommy and daddy listen to lots of music :) I don't really have any favorite songs any music will do.




I've been practicing the hand movements for itsy bitsy spider. I can do some of it...but I like it more when mommy takes my hands and has me do it.
(pardon mommy's signing...she doesn't have the best singing voice but I don't want to hurt her feelings by telling her that)



I'm becoming a pretty good talker. I know lots of words and know when to use them. I sort of say "all done" when I'm done eating. I also try to hand mommy my plate. I try to say "juice" when I'm thirsty or want mommy or daddy's water bottle. Daddy taught me the word "nine" i'm not sure what it means though. I thought it meant all the cool shape things mommy got me to play with in the bath, but every time I hold one up and say "nine" they tell me things like "A or 2". So I don't get it. I almost have "up" right. I'm really good at "down". Sometimes I get confused though and say "down" when I really want them to pick me up.

I like to talk on the phone sometimes...
phone

That was not one of those times. I also know how to hang up the phone. Sorry Grandma!

I almost have my back two upper molars. I still only have my top 4 and bottom two teeth in the front. But my bottom two molars are getting closer at coming in too. Okay so I have NO idea what molars are...but I'm pretty good at just repeating what mommy says :)

I help out around the apartment too...see I can do dishes now:)



I also can climb in and out of my highchairs all by myself. I don't even need another chair to climb over any more :) Mommy calls me a monkey...do you know what that means?

Did I mention I like to dance?



Oh I know how to point to all these things now too: nose, eyes, mouth, ears, hair, feet, and belly. I also sort of know where my hands are

Daddy taught me a new game :) It's super fun...but I don't know why he doesn't like to play it that long. I mean I don't get tired at all...why does he?



There was that one incident where daddy put me on a not so fun toy...did you see what it did! I mean it came to life and wanted to throw me from it's seat! I've seen Harry Potter...I saw a car do that once! And there daddy put me in there with no seat belt or car seat...what was he thinking?



Mommy and daddy always says their favorite parts of the day are nap time and bed time. They are definitely NOT my favorite, but I'm a good girl. I know my toys and stuff will be there in the morning, so really no use fighting it...a girl needs her beauty sleep. Mommy even let me sleep with Joshalynn the other night :) (oh and don't let the blanket fool you. I so did NOT keep that on me once she left!)

Yes those are still pacifiers in my crib. Thats the only place they let me have them so don't you dare tell them to take them away from me! I mean I try SO hard every morning to throw them all out on the floor so I can get to them during the day and that darn mommy and daddy! Every time they see me with one, they tell me to put it back and I have to go put it back in my crib or worse...they TAKE IT! Then I don't even know if it will end up back in my crib :\ It's so not fair! Oh AND mommy took all my sippy cups with handles away. It's so much harder now to hold onto my cup and a toy.


Check me out all ready for the next March of Dimes walk :) I mean how cool are these shirts! They have babies on them!


Oh and did I mention I like to dance?? I'm pretty good at it too!



Well I think thats it for this month's report. Did I forget something?
