16 Months...

Sweet Emma wants SO badly to keep up with Watson and other big kids.  Surely she is going to walk soon...right?!  :)  I think she will be MOST excited when she can!  She is walking behind her toys now - she is so close to taking off on her own!



She is quite the little dare-devil in the pool!  She wants to jump off the side of the pool or be in the deep end (deep for her...where she can't touch) the entire time.  It makes me a nervous wreck, honestly, trying to hold a squirmy baby girl in the pool!  I love that she loves the water, but I just wish she loved her floaties too!  We will be getting this girl in some swim lessons next year, for sure :)


We are trying to drop the morning nap completely.  She had a hard time at first, but is doing much better.  She still naps twice a day probably three days a week, but we are getting closer to dropping it for good.


Baby girl LOVES to eat...nothing makes her happier than a snack :)  She absolutely refuses to eat meat, eggs, and green veggies.  Unfortunately.... I offer them to her all the time in hopes that she will eventually eat them.  I'm not giving up yet!



She will have the most intentional conversations with you.  It is precious!  She will turn my head towards her and talk right to me.  I wish so badly I could understand what she is saying!  She is going to be a talker...I can already tell!


Her favorite word (and thing) right now is "Puppy."  The girl can spot one from a mile away! 


Sweetest moment is picking her up from the nursery these days.  She gets SO excited when she sees me or Graham at the door.  It is adorable.


Emma is in a huge Mommy stage right now.  She is literally at my feet all day fussing unless I am holding her.  I think it is so sweet that she loves her Mommy so much :)  There are times that it is hard if I am just completely honest, though, because it's just not possible for me to be holding her all day!


She has been extra fussy here lately as she has all four incisor teeth coming in right now...OUCH!



Her personality seems to be pretty go with the flow - not as much as Watson, but still does great just tagging along and doing whatever we are doing as a family.  As long as she is fed and rested, she is good to go :)
