First words...

"Momma", "DaDa" of coarse... then "no" with robust attitude! "were eh go?" "letmedo". "hunter", "braden", "papa", "nana". "I Love", "bird", "bye bye", "hi", "Tanku", "hot", and prob more, as I keep forgetting to write it all down. She mainly has picked up on what we are saying at about 10 - 11 months she was almost fully understanding everything we were saying to her. She more so can point what things are when you ask her... either in books or in the room, or outside. We have been told that she is very advanced for her age. I think she is so determined to do things and to be independant that it is why she is so advanced.

She loves to play with aunt Kristy's daughter Alexa. They hug and kiss and play chase, and dolls and fight and jump and climb all over the place... but the best is when they lay on the bed and giggle. It's sooo cute. Emmy is such a little girly girl. Very sassy and LOVES shoes! She twurls around in her outfits, and was taking her socks off at 15 months and putting them back on. She also can get her shoes on sometimes. She is a very determined little girl. So far she likes everything to be nice and neat... as far as when she puts her toys away. She climbs all over everything, and when she falls, she crys.... but she doesnt learn her lesson... she gets up and does it again and again! She minds Daddy more than me right now, and I think it has something to do with her being home with me all of the time. She is a hugger and kisser. She blows kisses bye bye to everyone. She doesnt meet a stranger. LOVES to play with kids. She smiles all of the time. Very onery, and very sneaky at times. She loves her Nana and Papa.... Papa of coarse is her buddy as long as he carry's her everywhere. She is in a big whining stage, which drives us crazy.... but it comes with having a girl I am sure. She is very dramatic, and always always on the move. She is now close to 19 months and uses her paci.... in which the Dr. told us today to take it away cold turkey.... so we are still debating on which weekend we want to torture ourselves. As of right now she is crying in her bed... wanting to not go to sleep at 10PM! Sometimes she does this but most of the time she goes to bed very well. Her nose is congested, and she had her 18 mo shots today so she is prob. very uncomfortable. Poor baby. David and I were talking today about how lucky we are and blessed we are to be her parents. She is such a joy, and so much fun to have around. She has brightened our whole lives and for that we are forever grateful.
