Emma at the ripe age of 20 months:
1. Awa? Cookie? She has quite a large vocabulary. At the top of my head I can count about 50 words. With "Cookie"and "awa" (agua) coming in first place. Don't ask me why but this little girl loves everything cookie! "Cookie" is her go-to word. If we ask her to tell us a story it will always involve a cookie. If we ask her to tell us a secret, her little tickle-ish whisper will always involve a cookie. And if we ask her what she wants for breakfast it will ALWAYS involve a cookie! Second up is the word "Awa" (agua). She LOVES playing with water. Wether its playing in the big swimming pool at the rec center or playing with the small watering can in our backyard. If it involves agua she is a happy girl! I can't forget to mention her frequent requests for her water bottle too. Awa?!
2. Baby Snuggles! She LOVES her babies! (her dolls) They are not called dollies or dolls, they are her babies! Ha ha! Nothing too new here, except that now we have her in a toddler bed, (which by the way is way too cute and I can't get over how cuddly she looks in it) she can easily slide in and out of bed by herself. So far she hasn't given us any problems going to bed, but one thing she does do is, once we say goodnight and close her door, she quietly tip toes over to her babies and picks one of the seven babies she has and brings it back with her to bed. It breaks my heart of cuteness! She loves to snuggle her babies! If only I could snuggle my baby like that! She is a lucky mommy!
3. We are in the process of teaching her how to pray. She has gotten the "fold your arms" part down pretty well, and it is so stinking cute! But she still likes to talk durning the prayer, she repeats "hi, hi, hi, hi" until you open your eyes and acknowledge her! And she also refuses to say Amen. So as you can see we still have some improvements to make but, we are working on it.
4. "Bubbies!!!!!" (Her way of saying bubble guppies) We watch about 6 episode or more of bubble guppies each day! Okay maybe not that many but it sure feels like it! She is hooked on this show! And she gets so into now! If something happens to one of the bubble guppies she comes running to tell me all about it! "Mommeeeee!! Gasses (glasses), Ball, Nonny (Her favorite of the bubble guppies)." Translation: She just told me that, The ball broke Nonny's glasses! Ha ha this girl cracks me up!
Watching buppies on her bean bag while sporting the bubble guppies pjs. *side note: we had to cut these pj's to make them summer appropriate (short sleeves, and shorts) because she loves them so much! She asks to wear them every night!
5. Here comes trouble! This little girl already gets what "money" is used for. This word is a little hard hard to distinguish from "mommy" but I get they point once grabs my purse and is yelling "muneeee"!!! I know horrible! I am raising a future shop-aholic! She sees a coin machine filled with balls and instantly starts asking for muneeee! Which, brings me to her next biggest obsession!
6. Ball?! Ball?! Ball?!!! We cannot pass a ball in the store without buying it! We have an unlimited amount of balls in our house! Pink ones, blues ones, big ones, small ones, spiky ones, light up ones. We have got them all! Her obsession has gotten a bit out of hand! But she is so cute so I let it happen.
7. "halh halh halh," Says the puppy! According to Emma, puppies pant, they don't make the normal "woof woof" sound! Lol! Latley she has been soooo into puppies. Its puppies this, puppies that! I feel that Alan is brainwashing her into wanting a puppy so badly, (because he is the one that really wants one so bad!) I, on the other hand do not want one and will keep saying no to this poor little girl and her daddy. Ha ha! for now we will stick with visiting both of her grandmas puppies. Her newest fad is taking the puppy for a walk. She discovered this the other day over at Mami Consuelo's house (Alan's mom) with their dog Jo Jo. We walked the dog for about 45 minutes!
Walking the puppy. Best friends!
8. One shoe on, one shoe off. This is how we walk around most of the time. For some reason she thinks she only needs one shoe on. It is so funny! I guess thats the new baby style and I am just not up to date with the newest baby trends!
The proof is in the pudding, or in this case the picture. See only one shoe!
9. 1...2...3...GO!!! She loves counting herself off before she goes down a slide or pretty much anything. Only problem is, she misses number 1 and 2. Her counting goes a little like this, While holding both her little pointer fingers up, counting "teeeee.... teeeee.... go!!!!!!!" (Three, three, go!) She kills me! Don't ask me why she completely blows over the first 2 numbers. We are working on that! :)
Counting herself off, to jump off her blanket. Don't ask me why she thinks its fun!
10. Last but not least. Give her her "ninnie" and she is happy. How can I go without mentioning the precious minnie mouse! Her "ninnie." Making Mickey Mouse clubhouse coming in second to her favorite TV shows. Her ninnie does everything with her! They watch TV together, the go in the car together, they go shopping together, they play hide and go seek together! You get it. Minnie is a popular item in our house!
Watching TV together. You can guess what she is watching. :)
This little girl keeps us on our toes! These are just a few of her greatest interest at the prime age of 20 months! We love you lots little princess! Mommy and Daddy don't know where we would be without you! XOXO
