It's been awhile since I've posted anything, so I thought I'd catch you all up to speed on what Emerson has been up to. She doesn't have another well-baby visit until December so I won't have any physical stats until then. I can tell you she is growing out of everything we own very quickly! But here are her latest...
Phrases:
- "He Cow!" (holy cow)
- "Do you see it?"
- "Diffet music please" (she thinks I'm her personal dj when we're in the car)
- "Right there!"
- "Emmie do it"
- "Hey guys!"
- "Watch this"
- "Wookamee!" (look at me)
Likes:
- Playing outside (she is the most social person in our neighborhood!)
- Reading books alone or with anyone who will read with her when she plops down on their lap
- Watching football with Daddy (she narrates when the players are running, says "oh no" when someone gets tackled, and points out the colors on their"kelmets")
- Helping us with the laundry, cooking, cleaning, and helping Dad take care of the aquariums
- Watching "Sid the Science Kid" and "SuperWhy" on PBS
- Playing with other kids--she's even starting to tell us tidbits of things that happened in her day, who she played with, etc.
Dislikes:
- Fresh fruit (but she still LOVES dried fruit)
- Fingerpainting
- Being so far away from most of her family :-(
- Being told "no"
- Utensils (she unfortunately thinks her hands can do a more efficient job)
- Getting her hair done. She still has NEVER had a haircut but her bangs are getting long and need to be pulled back but it only works if we can distract her while we do it!
She is gaining independence and talks about being a "big girl" all the time. We just got her a potty seat (she has been reading on it with her diaper on to get used to it). She has a stool to stand on to brush her teeth. She is just growing up so quickly and we can't get over how much our little girl is changing everyday. We adore her social, spunky personality and her sweet side (we do get requests for a kiss or a snuggle every now and then and we cherish those times!)
