MISS YOU DADDY!

Daddy will not like this but hey she was haviing fun... I promise the floor did not get scratched:)

18months

18 months.... that sounds better then saying she is 1.5 years old! 18 months still has the ring of baby in it.... When she is 5 can I still say she is 60 months to have that baby sound:)
I can't believe that this tiny girl that can home from the hospital at just over 4lbs is now over 24!!! She has gained over 20lbs in 18months!!! She is in the 56% for weight and is in the 80% for height at 32.75inches!!!
*** She went from (decimal).64% to the 57% in weight and from about 6%-80% in height! AMAZING!!!!

At 18months she is starting to get into trouble. She is just beginning to climb onto things. When she does she gets a big smile and claps for herself. She is afraid of a lot so she doesn't do too much climbing! Thank God!!!
She loves her dogs more than anything! When she is done eating she hands food to them. When I look over she just shakes her head no with a smile as her hand is still held down for them to eat out of!! Although she shouldn't do it, she is so cute and don't all kids feed their dogs their unwanted food!!!

Emma continues to be a fabulous sleeper (minus the last few mornings:)!!!!)! She is typically in bed by 6:45 and asleep by 7:00. She takes 1 nap a day that range from 2-3+ hours. Lately it has been around 2.5.
She is becoming more picky with her food. Actually she won't even try it.... I am hoping she isn't going to be like me:)!

Overall, we had a great apt! Emma didn't need any regular vaccines but got the flu shot. She hated it but it was ALL better when I told her they were bringing a popsicle! Amazing what a simple freeze pop can do!!!

This is Emma in her first week at the hospital....

This is her today (well not really today)

Just a little bit bigger!!

WE LOVE YOU MISS EMMA ROSE!!!

Names, Names, Names...

It is crazy how much time is spent thinking about a name for your baby. It is something that they will carry with them forever! It is something that you want them to be proud of and like. It is so hard to chose when you don't even know them yet. Before we had Emma I had a boys name picked out and that is the name that we are going to go with but at the same time I ponder about all the other names that I like. I know we will go with the original name but I do like to ponder the million other choices there are!!!

No Matter What The Little Bugs Name is he is going to have a big sister that LOVES him!!!!
When asked where the baby is she points to my belly and kisses it!
(If only she knew what that baby means!!!!)

Sabols new roomate

Sabol is staying with my BIL and SIL while we are in the process of moving. This morning she was studying one of her new roomates!

Guinness is VERY sad that Sabol is not here! She is VERY lost!

Apple Farm

This is what most of my pictures are of Emma now...
Her on the run!

Teaching Emma how to smell the flowers:)

She is a bit afraid of flowers....
I guess there will have to be MANY trip to the Evergreen Mart to solve this problem!
Uncle Eric will not be happy about this!
