Ok, I know, I missed 13 months, but bare with me; it's been a busy summer!! So I'll just do a little update about the last 2 months instead of trying to remember what Emry has done last month and what is new to her 14 month time, etc. Here are all her new tricks!!
*Says so many words I can't even keep track of all of them: hi (while waving), bye-bye (she says that really clearly now), Mamma, Dadda, Papa (Grandma), Mama (Grandma, which sounds different from mamma meaning mom), dog, poo-poo, wa-wa (which means outside, not sure where she got that from, but there it is), na-na (thank you... the only reason I know what this means is because she does it with the sign), please, help, hot, dancin' (while she dances all around), cheese (while she tries to take selfies with my phone or the tv remote), up, treat, stuck, and so many more I just can't think of them on the spot!! (Oh, and how can I forget... she says No all day long!! :D)
*Knows some animal sounds (cow, dog, monkey, etc)
*Signs quite a bit (all done, bird, more, food, thank you, please, poo-poo,wash hands)
*About her signing: the other day she was hanging out in our room just playing and she started doing the sign for poo-poo. I didn't recognize it at first and thought she was just waving but then I realized what she was saying and asked her, "do you have to poo-poo?" and then she started to her poop face on. It was hilarious! She totally is recognizing that she has to go. I'm hoping it will make for easier potty training in the future. (Don't worry, we still have awhile before we tackle that one!!). It was just so much fun to see how much she really learns. She takes in everything and I have absolutely LOVED doing little signs with her that have really helped her communicate well. I was worried when I started that she wouldn't talk as soon but she normally tries to say the word while she is signing it so I don't think that will be a problem.
*Walks EVERYWHERE (she hardly ever crawls anymore). She was taking steps at a year but didn't actually start walking well until 13 months. She has started to get pretty fast. She tries to run, which is just funny to watch because she is still unsteady but man, she is getting fast!!
*Loves to use her fork to feed herself. She is actually pretty good at it too.
*LOVES to be outside. Seriously, she would never come inside if it were up to her! I'm not sure what she is going to do in the winter when we are going to be barricaded inside!
*Takes 2 naps most of the time
*Is totally a mamma's girl
*Loves to give kisses and snuggles (especially to mom and dad)
*She can really throw a fit. We are working on that one... She loves to test my patience sometime, but what do you do?
*Has 4 teeth in front (on top), 2 on bottom, and 4 molars have broken through. Molars have been a big pain for us. She seems to have very little issues with her first 6 front teeth but man, the molars have made her so sad. It's not a fun process, but hopefully soon she can chomp down on more foods. haha!
*Loves the swings
*LOVES her cousins. If you even mention Lila's name she will be asking for Lila for the rest of the day. It's cute! She also can kinda say Cadence if you ask her to say it. Apparently she just loves the girl cousins best!!
*Loves her belly button. Also loves my belly button. Basically, she loves bellybuttons. Weirdo...
*Loves driving the car with Daddy before he goes to work. She also loves to honk the horn.
Laying out on the beach in California. She just laid there like she knew exactly what you are supposed to do at the beach!! She must be my baby or something!
Where's your button?
Hanging out at the Herriman Reservoir. It's like our own Utah beach. Se love it!
Watching Uncle Jeffy play volleyball in style!!
She loves to climb on bikes. She would hardly let us get her off of this one at the store. So happy!
Loves to play with the hose and drink from it.
Backing the car out of the garage almost every morning honking at mom! :D
We love our cousins and the swing!!
