I don't know when my baby when and turned into a toddler, but she did. We are loving this age so much.
A few things I'd like to document to help me remember Emery at this age:
She is really into copying everything we do lately. It is really funny when she does something and we bust up laughing and have no idea where she picked it up. Only to have one of us do it a few days later.
Her favorite words are "no" and "Hi!". She says hi to anyone and everyone she sees. Last weekend we were at a car dealership and while all the salesmen were in this office getting our stuff together she just marched right in there and says "Hi!". She is a crack up. Some of her other favorites, are ooohhhh, wow, yay, num, teee (which we think is thanks..still trying to figure it out), and dada.
She is getting quite the little attitude. The other day while she was eating she kept throwing her food off the edge and he told her to stop. She just froze and closed her eyes and just sat there. And then slowly opened them. Like she was trying to gain her composure. haha. We couldn't hold back and just cracked up. It was seriously the funniest thing.
She is really good at ignoring. She knows when she is doing something that she shouldn't be and ignores you if you tell her to stop. These episodes usually end up in a Time Out. She isn't a fan, but I'm not sure what else to do.
She likes turning on and off lights. When we walk out of a room I hold her up and she loves to turn the the light switch off.
She is still a never ending ball of energy. She doesn't stop she doesn't slow down. Some nights she will be so tired that she knows if she were to sit down she would instantly fall asleep so she doesn't. She will literally run in circles until we put her in her crib. And even then she fights it. I am really glad she is the first child because I really don't think by the end I'll have enough energy to handle and kid like her. So I'm glad it's now!
She loves to dance. Every time music comes on she instantly starts to dance. She has so many funny moves, we laugh so hard at her.
She can now tell me what a puppy says! If I ask her she says "ruff ruff". She also knows where her belly is. And also where her belly button is. If you ask her where her belly is she will just point to it, but if you ask her where her belly button is she has to lift up her shirt and put her finger right in her belly button.
Throws full blown tantrums. Like a true toddler. It's great. Not.
She has become such a picky eater the past few months. It used to be that she would literally eat anything. Now not so much. Her favorites are fruit (she will eat ANY fruit, ANY time, which I am glad for) her favorites are blueberries, raspberries, pomegranate, apples, and clementines, yogurt, cheese (mostly grilled cheese sandwiches), eggs, waffles, Nutrigrain bars, Belvita crackers (both in blueberry or apple cinnamon flavor), pretzels, and pasta. She basically lives off those things. We give her loads of other options but they get dumped on the floor. She will instantly let you know whether or not she likes a food. She'll take one bite and either say no, shake her head and furrow her eyebrows, or shake her head yes and say "num!"
LOVES to give kisses. She gives me countless kisses every day. It is the best. She will give them to anyone, the other day we were at a restaurant and she kept trying to give kisses to the lady taking our order, haha. It was funny.
Points at EVERYTHING. She is always pointing at things and either saying "ooohhh" or "wow!". It is so fun to watch her discover the world. The smallest details that we normally don't even notice are so exciting to her.
LOVES to walk on Grandma's treadmill. Whenever we are at my mom's house if the door is open to wear the treadmill is she runs in there and gets on it. She will wait there until someone comes in and turns it on for her. She will walk and walk and walk.
Likes to hold your finger and walk places. If you stick a finger out for her she will walk where ever you want. Until she gets distracted :)
Has the sweetest little personality and most tender little heart. She hates getting in trouble and if you raise your voice at her at all she bursts into tears. It's so sad. She is a tender little girl.
We love this little sweetie so much! She is always teaching us how to be better.
Love this little girl!
Showing where her belly is :)
