Emrie

Emrie is 1 year, 4 months 1 week and 2 days old. 

She communicates with a series of grunts, yells, shouts, screams, pulls, and climbs.  She says 'hi' and 'uh oh' and 'Ana.'  Sometimes I get a 'mama' out of her.  She will randomly say other words here and there.  But nothing that she wants to keep saying. 

She listens like a champ, for example:

Emrie put all the stuff you just took out of the garbage back in the garbage can. 
Emrie stop throwing all of your food on the carpet.
Emrie stop pinching my face- be gentle.
Give me a kiss.
Shut it, close it. 
Stop biting.  Stop pulling Ana's hair.  Stop biting.  Stop pulling hair!  Oh wait.... she doesn't listen to those.

Speaking of- We get about 5 incident reports sent home from daycare a week.  Emrie bites.  Instead of speaking, she uses her pearly whites to put kids in their place.  It isn't a very awesome trait. 

She loves to be rocked.  But she doesn't like to swing much.  She LOVES bath time.  She LOVES to read books.  She likes stroller rides and wagon rides. She likes pushing her cart around.  She likes to take charge.

 

 She goes to bed at 7 and she wakes up around 630. 

At home she is noisy.  At daycare she is noisy.  Any where else she is usually very shy.  She won't make a peep. 

She looks just like her dad.  Although, I think she is starting to looks a little bit more like me.... maybe.

She is starting to be so silly.  She has so many goofy looks.

She is so so so great. 

Life with out her would not be complete.
