19 Months

It's a new year: 2014!!! and my baby turned 19 months today! 

Here are some fun things she is doing these days

*Talks up a storm. She surprises me all the time by the things she says. Mostly, it's things I say that she has learned over the months. Some examples: What happened?, I want to read it (yes, full sentences), Dang it (that one made me start watching what I say around her... haha), 

*Loves her Grandmas the very most. She always wants to play with her Grandma if she's around. She says "Mama" for Grandma and "Mommy" for Mom

*Loves her cousins. Her favorites are Owen, Lila, and Jackson. She also loves baby Rylee and baby Leah

*She loves babies a whole lot. Her favorite would be baby Jesus. It was so fun having her around for Christmas because she really helped us focus more on the Savior's birth. She always wanted to look at pictures of baby Jesus and in every nativity we saw, she was so excited to see baby Jesus. 

*Doesn't really like the snow. Every time we go outside she says "Cold" and she doesn't really feel the need to play in the snow. We took her sledding a couple of weeks ago and she did not find that fun at all. Maybe one day she will change her mind...

*Loves Elmo. Her favorite books are her Elmo books and we have one movie of Elmo and she would watch that over and over again if I'd love her. She loves to sing "Elmo's song" and dance to it. 

*She loves the temple. Whenever we drive by the temple (which is a lot where we live) she yells, "Temple" and then starts jabbering in song with a couple of words you can understand like "see" and "temple." She wants us to start singing "I Love to See the Temple." It is pretty cute. 

*Her favorite way to drive mom and dad crazy is to say "No, Mine!!" in a really bratty tone. That is not my favorite :) We are working on learning how to share and be nice.

*Her appetite has slowed down quite a bit lately. It seems she has no desire to sit still long enough to actually eat. I'm hoping it will pass and she will start back up again soon. I feel like I waste so much food lately.

*She has started loving taking showers with me. She will just sit on the ground and let the water fall on her, but she doesn't really love it when I pick her up and actually put her in the water. I think the pressure bugs her. 

*Loves to brush her teeth

*Loves to color

*Most of all, she loves her Mom and Dad. It's so fun to see her run to her daddy when he gets off work and to hear her yell "Daddy" or "Mommy" when she wakes up in the morning.

We are so blessed to have you, Miss Emry. You make our life happier and full of fun! 

Here she is watching a baby Jesus movie with Daddy. Emry could watch these all day. Ryan is less than impressed. :D

Emry helping me shovel the sidewalk. We found these cute little shovels and she loves hers!!
