Skills: Emma has
learned some new words this month! She
can say thank you, bailey and light- note, she has made zero attempts to say
starbucks. When she says light, she
loves to point at the light that is on.
Her favorite word is definitely bye bye.
When we are getting ready to go somewhere or leave somewhere and go
home, we say Emma, “do you want to go bye bye?”. Then she will walk around saying “bye bye
bye” in the sweetest voice. At the end
of 15 months, she was able to identify where her belly is, where her head is,
and where her nose is- when prompted.
She also makes the cutest monkey noise and motion. She can still do elephant and lion, but gets
them mixed up sometimes. This month she
has also been shaking her head “no” a ton.
At first it was cute (and it still mostly is), but sometimes it is a
little annoying. We were running through
the list with her the other night. Emma
do you want to take a nap? Shakes head no.
Emma do you want a baby sister? Shakes head no. Emma do you want to eat a strawberry? Shakes head
no. Emma, do you want $100? Shakes head
no. Emma, do you want to take a
bath? She runs to the stairs and starts
climbing them very eager to take a bath!
It was hilarious (even granted that I know she didn’t know what we were
saying when we asked her most of those questions).
Likes: this baby
likes to eat! Her current favorite is
anything with cheese on it! You should
have seen her devour some nachos (mainly cheese) at the ballpark. She reminds me of a little Ally in this
regards- my dad used to tell Ally she would turn into cheese since it was
sometimes the only thing she would eat.
Her favorite fruit is strawberries and blackberries. She loves milk, but has also started to drink
a bit of Gatorade. We found out at her
doctor’s appointment, she drinks more milk than most kids her age. She also loves to wear her shoes (I never
thought I would be able to say this!).
And she loves to go! She is
happiest when she is on the move and we are introducing her to new things. She has also taken a liking to her stuffed
animals and will sometimes even carry them around the house.
Struggles: We
cannot get this girl to sit in her high chair through a whole dinner if we are
eating out. She tries to stand up
immediately after going in there. When
we scold her and tell her that she has to sit down- she bursts into tears. It is embarrassing. I told Wes that I am not sure if we will eat
out with our child for a few more years.
At home, she does just fine for the most part sitting in her chair. I am tempted to bring the chair with us to
the next restaurant we go too! This has
also been the month of faking whining and yelling. I am pretty sure our girl found her vocal
chords- the volume has increased three-fold.
The fake whining really is pretty funny- Emma turns her lips into all
different kinds of shapes while fake whining and grunting.
Superficial: She
got two new teeth this month and it was much less traumatic than her other
teething experiences bringing the grand total to 7 as you can see in the top
picture. She is still wearing size 3
diapers and mostly 12 – 18 month clothing.
Her hair is growing out but is really fine and a little bit curly in the
back. She still has the most beautiful
blue eyes which are her most complimented feature.
Here is a video (taken by Ally) a few days after she turned 15 months. I was showing my mom and Ally that it is hilarious how she lifts her dress to find her belly.
