17 Months...

This sweet 17 month old has completely stolen my heart.  She has since day one, but oh my goodness I cannot even begin to explain how much I love her!  

Emma took her first steps this month!!!  And she is now walking all over the place!  I am so proud of our sweet girl for taking off and walking on her own.  I love seeing babies when they first start walking.  That sweet little waddle that they do is unlike anything else!

Still talking/repeating/babbling all day long.  I love it!

She watches Watson so closely and mimics EVERYTHING that he does!  It is so sweet that she adores him so much.  We have had to have lots of talks with Watson about being a good example for his baby sister.

I know I'm biased, but Emma seems so smart to us!  Even her teachers at Mothers Day Out have said how smart she is :)

Speaking of..we are doing Mothers Day Out two days a week for this sweet girl.  She seems to love it and her teachers are perfect for her.  They always have a funny story to tell us about our strong-willed girl.

(my view just about all day, every day!)

Emma loves playing on our bed with Watson.  They wrestle and roll around with each other laughing so hard.  Nothing warms my heart as much as watching the two of them play together and laugh together.  Watson is such a good big brother!



This girl already loves to shop.  Seriously.  She did this even a few months ago...but when we go in to a shoe store, she cries until she can hold a shoe and then cries until we put it on her.  She will keep pointing to different shoes wanting to try them on.  As I have said before, she knows what she wants!

I have finally found a way to get some milk in her system - smoothies!  She loves them!
