14 Months!

Miss Emalyn is 14 months old!

This was her one year ago. Wow! She has grown into a little toddler and what fun it's been to watch her.

Some of her favorite things:
reading books, (favorites are Mommy Hugs, Animal Homes, Noisy Kisses)

Playing with her babies and feeding them bottles or her own bottles and sippy cups,

Playing with Cocoa, playing hide and seek (she'll come lean on me behind me if I'm sitting and she'll pop out to the side for me to tickle her), putting lids on and off things (like water bottles and tupperware), puzzles, and basically just walking around the house looking for things to get into. lol She loves to spin around in circles and still loves music and dancing. Just so we'll remember this one day...she loves the pieces from the game Trouble. She really likes the blue one and she puts it on her pointer finger and we call her ET. She woke up in her crib with a piece on her finger one morning. We had no idea she took it to bed with her. So glad she didn't put it in her mouth and choke on it.

Just recently she got her 4 molars and a tooth is coming through on the bottom. In talking with other moms, I guess we are very lucky that those molars popped in without any real issues. She had a runny nose for about a month and that was probably the only real side effect. She's getting picky about foods but still likes to eat. Her favorites are: raisins, bananas, blueberries, froot loops, yogurt, apples and applesauce, any meat dipped in ketchup, brocolli, corn and green beans.

She has started saying Momma! I love it! She says it so funny with her mouth with kind of like kissy lips. She's say Dadda sometimes too if we say Da Da Da. We were beginning to wonder if she would ever talk! She can understand so much and she can do what we tell her to do. She makes sounds but mostly just sweet little coos. She is just the sweetest little thing. She's learned how to shake her head no when she doesn't want something and she's learning to nod yes but she's not real sure when to use the yes nod. She barks every time she sees a dog in a book or TV or if she hears one bark.

This is such a fun age! We are all just loving our little 14 month old Emalyn Faith.
