This is my favorite time of the day. Emry just sits still and drinks her milk and I get all my snuggle time in!

Eating her ice cream, or "treat" as she calls it

Emry so happy playing with her "baby" 

The cutest Father-Daughter Duo ever! 

Emry after helping me make red velvet cake. She was my taster. She did an excellent job, as you can tell.

Emry shopping with me. She walked around the whole store saying "hello, hello" with this phone. Too cute!

Bike Rides!!

We have been meaning to get a bike seat for Emry all summer long but never found one we loved. Last week we finally found one we liked and it was a good price so we bought it and I'm so glad we did! Emry LOVES it so much! When we went to buy her helmet, though, she screamed so loud if we put it on her so I was worried she was going to end up hating riding with me. So glad I was wrong because once we started going, she had no issue with the helmet and lived it. She kept saying "Bike! Bike!" over and over. It's adorable. I'm really sad it's going to be winter now and so we can't take her out as much. We'll just have to enjoy Fall for as long as possible! 

15 Months

Weight: 22 lbs 11 oz (70%)

Height: 31.7 inches (85%)

Head: 18.75 inches (75%)

With a 15 month old also comes all sorts of fun things like throwing fits, screaming when she doesn't get her way, saying No to everything, and teething that seemingly will never end. :D Even though 15 months has all of this, it's still one of my favorite times. Emry is learning so much and understands so much too. She is so sweet most of the time and wants to give loves and kisses. She loves her mommy, which of course just melts my heart! :D Here are some other things she learned to do this month:

*Talks like crazy. I'm amazed at all the new words she knows. It seems like every day she learns a new word. It's so fun teaching her. I can't remember all the words she says now, but here are some I can think of off the top of my head: balloon, baby, bonk, no (all the time), mine (all the time), owie (with a kiss of course), swing, slide, bike, book, jump, trash, airplane, turkey, milk, outside (side), binky, chocolate, movie, Elmo, Mormon (for Book of Mormon), Jesus, thank you, please, poo-poo, and so many more.
*loves to be outside. All day if we could. I'm really dreading winter, being stuck inside all day.
*Every time we go out to the front yard, she heads around the corner and toward the park, saying "swing, swing, swing" That girl would live at the park. She loves the swings, the slide, and watching all the other little kids play too.
*Loves reading books. All day, starting right when she wakes up. It's almost always her first word in the morning.
*Is pretty obedient. If I ask her to stop doing something, she normally will. Or if I tell her to put it back, so will normally do it. She is my little helper already. She loves to "help" me with laundry and loves to throw things away. Putting things in the trash is one of her favorite things to do. 

*Her favorite song is Popcorn.
*Loves to smell the flowers (outside and in the books she reads).
*Loves the trampoline. If we are at someone's house that has a big trampoline, Emry will be on it the entire time we are there. She LOVES them. Also, if she sees on in someone's backyard (like our neighbor's) she really wants you to take her there to jump.
*Along with that, she loves to try jumping. She squats down really low and then stands up really fast. One of these days, she is going to get off the ground! (She must take after me in that regard...)
*Has long hair in the back but not really in the front. So we do a lot of piggies in the back with a clip in the front.
*Loves to play with dolls (or her babies, as she calls them).
