Mommy's Little Helper

Emily is now into "helping"... she helps with laundry (takes stuff out of the basket), helps with unloading the dishwasher (hands me each plate or bowl), and now feeds the dogs. She does this whenever she feels that "Mar-EE" needs "FOO". Of course, the poor dog only gets two or three kibbles at a time, and is yelled at to "MOOOOVE" if he's in the way of Emily putting food in the bowl.

Emily's 15 Month Stats

She took her shots like a champ - barely whimpered. Nurse said of all the kids she gives shots to, Emily is the best at taking them. She didn't get it from Mommy.

She's 50% height (30 1/2 inches), 10% weight (20.5 lbs - long and lean), and 50% head circumference.

Doctor was VERY impressed with Emily's vocabulary - amazed that at 15 months she not only has a vocabulary of 50-100 words, complete with colors, "please" and 8-10 animal noises but she is also putting words together ("Baba, peeze (Bottle please... also goes for cheese, peas, strawberry, grapes)" "MOOVE Sa-ie (Move, Sadie)" "I wunning (I'm running)" and "I poo"). She guessed Emily will probably potty train early since she's letting us know what is going on with her diaper and using the potty at night before bath. Not concerned at Emily's recent vegetarian tendencies - suggested giving her tofu (ick) and beans (fun).

First Day of 6th Grade!!

GO HORSE! GO!

Emily riding her Fisher Price pony. She presses the button over and over to get to a song she likes, then she'll go. Sometimes when she gets stuck, she'll yell "GO!"

Dancing with Emily

She's discovered she likes to dance. Here are two videos - one of her dancing topless to Neil Diamond (listen for her little BA-BA-BA in Sweet Caroline!) and trying to figure out how to dance to a card that plays Shout!

Enjoy!

5 minutes in Emily's world

Here is 5 minutes in Emily's world. Lots of walking, talking, but no standing on her head (I'll try and get a good video of that, too!)

Beach Week!

Some pictures from our vacation with Grammy at the beach!
