2 going on 13

Eme, Eme, Eme.... she is such a little diva. I know her Aunties have a lot to do with it, but dang she is cute!

She has been both challanging and enjoyable in this stage of life. Some of her favorite things to do are: swim, sing and dance to her movies, watch pbs kids, color, go for rides, go on walks, go to the park, play with Caden and the puppy, and talk on the phone as long as no one is on the other end. She will say Tena, Ga, Papa, Bee, Conin, Wiyay, Karker, Paytey, Bice, Caynin, Puppy, daddy, mommy, hiiiii Dax! CONSTANTLY while we drive to where we're going. She just LOVES all her cousins!

Oh man, the list could go on and on. She loves to stretch and work out with dad, go on walks, and basically be OUTSIDE as much as possible!

She is still afraid to do things on her own. If we go to Chick-Fil-A, you have to be in the playland or she has a heart attack and if she sees a mascot, Santa Clause, Easter Bunny, or anything like that she has an absolute come apart. She is getting really good at pulling out her ponytails, and throws EVERYTHING on the ground. She has the attitude of a 13 year old, and a scream of a police siren! She is into EVERYTHING especially my kitchen drawers. She will take out my measuring cups, tupperware, utensils, plastic wrap, etc etc etc.

Some of her favorite foods are: Bananas, yogurt, cheese, steak, milk, cookies, crackers, fruit and cottage cheese, cereal, raisins, noodles and fruit snacks, but most of all, she LOVES to go to Red Mango and share with her Aunt Tina! She never eats mine, it's always Aunt Tina's. She is IN LOVE with Tina and Bee. We are so glad she is still eating most anything we give her! Hopefully she doesn't graduate that stage!

Her favorite movies are Toy Story, Princess and the Frog, Shrek 1, 2 &3, Pixar short films (really, I don't get it), Up, and any other Disney movie made! She is such a copy cat. She must learn like her mom who would sit around and watch things and the next thing you know... she is doing exactly what she saw you doing earlier that morning!

I never thought she would have a favorite shirt, but she does. The neighbors got her a monkey shirt for her birthday, and she LOVES it when I pick it out for her to wear. She has Diva glasses that she wears and looks absolutly adorable in. She still has the binki which I can't say I am excited about, but man it's a life saver when it's naptime, bedtime, or when she is hungry and I need to buy some time.

She is such a good big sister to brother Dax. If he is fussy in the car, she will reach over and hold his hand even if he doesn't want her to. She is always trying to pick him up if he is fussy, looking for him if he isn't in the same room as us, give him his binki, or feed him his bottle. And just the other day, I walked into the room and caught her reading him a book! I'm so pissed because I had a video of it, and somehow I can't find it!!! BOOOOOO! Anyway,

Little Ems is our little Angel and we couldn't be happier to have her in our family. We love you little Ems!
