14 months!

Emmalynn,
You are a few days shy of 14 months old. I have got to get better with documenting your little life because you are getting so funny!
At 14 months you are:
-Wearing 12 months clothes
-size 4 diaper
-size 4 shoe... You have fat little feet!
-you have TEN teeth right this minute and at least two more trying to pop through. Ibuprofen is our best friend!
-you are quite the motor mouth. You can say the following word:
-Dow (dog)
- hi, hey, hello and bye bye
- momma, dada, bee dada (big daddy), poppa, gama or sometimes dama
- no-no
- hot-hot
- nay-ne (laney the dog) Duce, the dog
- Elmo
- Dara (Dora)
- jase and oooora
- pad pad (iPad)
- shhhh
- juice
- mamelon (watermelon)
- Shhhhoe
- duck
- moooo
- wower (flower)
- oh wow
I'm sure there are many words I'm missing. You try and repeat EVERTHING so many words don't exactly come out :)
- you are OBSESSED with the iPad. You can turn it on, swipe the button and pick what apps you want to play. It is seriously mind blowing. Just the other day, you downloaded a Dora app on daddy's iPad. Lol.
- you can point to your nose, toes, eyes, ears, belly and sometimes booty. Haha :)
- you are So funny. You keep us in stitches!
- you eat all table foods now but, you're picky...you won't eat pasta, meat or cheese. You love your fruits and veggies! Your fav foods are watermelon and pancakes!
- you LOVE to be outside. You help daddy with anything that needs to be done outside.
- I'm sad to say you still get a night night bottle. We are working on it but, you are still attached.
- you also love bath time. Anything to do with water, really.
- you are so sweet to your stuffed animals. You carry them around everywhere and pat them
On their backs and love on them. It is so adorable!
- your favorite shows are Dora, Mickey Mouse, doc mcstuffins and phineas and ferb.
- you aren't a momma or daddy's girl specifically. You want each of us at certain times.
You are such a joy. We are so in love with you!

One year old!!!!

I do not update nearly as much as I should but, you are now ONE big year old! I simply so not know where the time goes. Emmalynn, you are the greatest blessing in our lives. No words could ever be enough to express how much we love you. You are sassy, bossy, funny, full of personality, sweet as pie and SO smart! I can not get over how smart you are. I hope you are always as bright as you are now. You will move mountains, that's for sure. We love you so much, princess. This has by far been my favorite age and I can't wait to see what the next year has in store for us!

7 month Princess!

Our sweet girl is now over half a year old. I've always heard parents say "don't blink" or "they grow up so fast" and have found it a little obnoxiously over used. But now I fin myself telling all new moms the same thing. It really is heart wrenching to think of how fast it all happens. I could have sworn we were just decorating a nursery :) On a less sappy note, my little princess is a WILD one. She is all over the place and her little personality is really starting to shine. She keeps us on our toes and keeps us laughing at the same time! She hasn't mastered crawling yet and honestly, I don't think she will. I think she will skip crawling and go straight to walking. Don't let her fool you though- she gets around just fine. She scoots on her hiney to get around. I can put her down and in less than 60 seconds she is across the room. She's also pulling up on EVERYTHING! She wants to stand all the time. She is such a happy baby. She loves her family and our close friends and will even pick random people to reach out to. She laughs constantly and is such a motor mouth! Her AUnt Jen always says she has such good vocal skills.
Here are some of the other things you are up to:
-you went to the doctor this week and were right at 19 pounds.
-you are in mostly 9 month clothes but if it runs small, you can even wear a 12 month occasionally. Big girl!
- you love your veggies! Squash is your favorite and you do not like peas or avocado.
-you are still breast feeding and mommy is making your baby food.
-you will start fruits this week.
-you still say mama but you've really been stuck on dada lately. You also said oora several times for aunt Noora. So sweet.
-You love bath time.
- you have 2 bottom teeth and Dr. Carlile says your top 2 are coming through (which is why you won't sleep well)
- around 4am you like to get in bed with mommy and snuggle. I LOVE it but really need to break the habit.
- you light up every afternoon when daddy comes home. You sure do adore him.
You are such a good baby and a joy to everyone. We love you do much little angel and can't wait to see what these next few months have in store for your busy self!

6 months!

My sweet princess Emmalynn,
You are such a joy to everyone around you. You are an easy going, HAPPY, busy baby! Your daddy and I are so lucky that we were chosen to be your parents. You are growing so fast that it makes mommy sad. You are such a smart and inquisitive little girl. I love you so much.
Here are some things you are doing at six months old:
You are still on mommy's milk but starting vegetables and love green beans.
You have been rolling around for months now.
You sit up all by yourself and have been since a week or so before you turned 5 months old.
You can wave hi and bye bye.
You can say mama and dada.
You have one tooth and the second is breaking through.
You are 18 lbs 5 oz and 27 1/4 inches long. That is 90th percentile for weight and 95th for height....you're a big girl!
You love your Grammy and big daddy and laney and Sophie too!
You definitely recognize those you're around most like your "aunties" Holly, Jennifer, Lara and Laura. They love you so much and it means the world to me!
You love to stand. I think you will walk early.
You always want someone in the room with you and don't like to be alone.
You haven't been sleeping well the last week or do because of your teeth but before that you were still waking up to nurse about twice in 12 hours.
You just had your first illness. Daddy was out of town and it was very tough on mommy.
You love to cuddle and it gets me everytime :)
How does this even happen?
