stuff she was doing at the beginning of the month
seems like she has always been doing it.
so i am sure i will miss lots of things.
i've also decided after her second birthday, NEXT month!
that i will just do quarterly updates on miss emi.
emi has been driving me crazy lately.
i prefer the newborn/baby stage than this terrible two stage
she is into everything (exploring) and wanting to do it her way
she is very independent and very needy at the same time.
emi loves to looks through things, this slotted spoon for example
or if there are openings in books, she has to poke my eye through it
and she always says, hello! until you say hi back.
emi loves to have her finger and toenails painted.
she will sit still to have her hair done.
and can't leave the house without a bow.
she is the craziest sleeper.
i have found her like the picture below many times.
the night terrors have stopped (hope i don't jinx myself)
but she has started waking up at 2am to come get in our bed
when she was potty training she would wake up to go potty.
needless to say, i haven't been sleeping great for a while now.
because eddie sleeps through everything!
and never knows what happens at night.
emi has become a picky eater.
a typical morning i will give her fruit for breakfast
and she insists on a awful!(waffle)
for lunch and dinner, she pretty much eats the same thing
either a turkey dog or chicken nuggets
with some sort of veggie and a fruit cup.
for a few weeks she kept saying dutch!! dutch!!
this past week, i finally figured out it means lunch
she doesn't like chocolate milk or soda.
and can't be fooled into drinking water.
sometimes she demands juice! and i will give her water.
she will say no! and walk over to the fridge...waiting for juice.
emi's speech has improved but a lot still doesn't make sense
i understand almost everything, but i am sure others wouldn't
i have also noticed she says the end of things...like spoon, she says the oon, of spoon.
she is a good fake crier.
hides in our closet or behind doors and says, boo! and then laughs her head off.
she covers her mouth when she laughs, or throws her head back.
she dances to any beat...even slow songs.
does somersaults on her own. and she loves to climb.
the kitchen chairs are too heavy to move, but if she could move them
i am pretty positive i would find her on the kitchen counter.
when you ask emi a color, her default is blue.
she can name and say any body part you ask (i should probably get that on video)
she loves kipper the dog, thank goodness for sprouts and netflix
emi hates being in her car seat or a shopping cart and pulls the potty card.
emi gets really upset if you load or unload the dishwasher without her
she will yell, elp! (help!) meaning she wants to help, then she yells, sop! (stop!)
she has to have a goodbye kiss, and she pushes you out the door.
she insists on shutting the door behind us, if one of us leaves.
she calls me mom!...i hear mom! mom! mom! mom! mom!
over and over, all day...i can respond and if she thinks i am not paying attention
she says mom! over and over again. it's especially fun in the car.
emi still won't read a book by herself.
she always picks the same books every night to be read.
she usually mimics what is going on, or answers yes or no if there is a question.
emi is in between sizes.so some of her clothes look huge!
generally she wears a 2T shirt and 18-24 month pants.
she wears a 5 1/2 -6 in shoes
her favorite books are flip books by Karen Katz
whenever she hears an out of place sound
she will put her hand behind her ear, and give you a look
the look is, do you hear that? or what is that?
i hope i don't sound negative about emi.
but i finally feel challenged as a parent.
i feel she has been an easy child
and am wishing now she came with a manual on how to react to her bratty ways.
which i guess are just terrible two ways.
luckily we don't have meltdowns...
just big sighs and needing my full attention constantly.
