Emerson Update



Emerson Grace is now 10 days shy of being 15 months old. I really haven't posted any information about her since about 9 months, so here goes...

Right now her routine consists of waking up around 8 with milk and cereal for breakfast. I might start sneaking in some veggies at this time because she doesn't seem to be QUITE as picky right after she wakes up. After breakfast, she plays for about 1-1/2 to 2 hours with two kids shows on in the background and she is usually ready for another nap. After usually a good 1-1/2 of napping she's up and ready for lunch. For lunch, it's usually mac n' cheese or deli turkey with cheese cubes, a banana, and some yogurt. (The plain yogurt was cheaper for more ounces, so I went ahead and got it with the intention of adding our own fruit. I tried it plain and it's HORRIBLE!! Won't be doing that again!) Then she plays and snacks on dry cereal until about 3. Naptime from 3 to 4. Play for a little while before daddy gets home. Another snack. When daddy gets home, it's time for "Super Baby." Ideally, we have dinner around 5:30 or 6. A little bit more playing. Nighttime bottle at 7:30 and bed at 8!

Fun things we're working on:
Sign Language: Please. Thank you. More. Eat. All done. Sleepy. Baby. Pig. (we're also working on colors)

She LOVES reading her books. She likes the books with flaps to open and fun textures to feel. She especially likes the books with animals. She attempts sounds for cat-"mew", dog-panting, rooster-a rough "caw caw caw doo", pig-just does the sign, cow-"mmm" without opening her mouth

She knows to "kick kick" a soccer ball and will proceed to do so around the play room. She also knows which balls are basketballs and she will dunk them into the basketball hoop.

She likes to hug and kiss her baby dolls and her bunny. She has a little basket that she will put her baby "night night" when asked if the baby is sleepy.

She likes to spin in a circle and be really proud of herself for being able to do it. She would also rather run somewhere than walk.

That's about all I have for right now regarding my little girl. Her daddy and I love her to pieces and just love showing her off to anyone who will act as an audience!!
