another month has flown by, especially during december
i have actually started saying she will be 2 in march
since it is right around the corner...
when people ask me how old she is.
we have some major communication issues going on
she knows exactly what she is saying, and we have no clue what she is trying to say
she has her own language it seems
and this is usually the result.
crying...probably saying, why don't you understand me?
she is saying a whole bunch of new words..
her favorite word has gone from ouch to stuck!
she also says please...ease!!! light, open, shoes
and my favorite is
choo-
choo....
she says it howling like a dog, putting her face in the air.
she says a few others but i can seem to ever think of them
when i sit down to document it.
she is obsessed with my camera!
the above picture was taken
christmas eve
she's holding my cousin's camera, knowing exactly what to do.
every time i take a picture...she says...
eeeee!!
which means she wants to see.
emi's new favorite books are how do dinosaurs....
and her
ellie the elephant book still.
she has gotten completely comfortable with dogs and cats
but freaks out if we try to sit her on a fake elephant.
she
definitely tells us when she doesn't like something.
and if your bothering her, she will tell you no.
like get away from me or don't touch me.
she could be having a full on crying fit about something
ask her a question and she will say no,
like she was never crying.
usually looking down and slowly shaking her head no
and if you ask her any question, no matter what it is
the answer will be no.
when she thinks she is being silly and laughing about something
she will cover her mouth with her hands.
when something spills or drops, she says
NOOO!
instead of oh no! while putting her hands on her cheeks.
emi loves to organize and line things up.
if she is playing and something seems out of place
she will fix it before she can move on and play.
emi is the smartest little baby we know.
she watches and listens to everything we say.
and understands everything.
she knows how to turn the t.v. on and off
we have to put passwords on our phones
because she knows how to work them
she is learning to open and shut doors
and will take her fake keys and try to put them in doors.
i love when she takes her keys and fake cell phone
and comes up to me, says bye!
and gives me a kiss, like she is leaving.
when she thinks i am funny, she will say
illy(no s sound) mama.
but won't call me mom, mommy, or anything.
whenever she sees something of
eddie's and he isn't home
she yells...daddy!
when i try to take something away from her, she says mine!
when done eating she will take off her bib and empty her plate
she is a yogurt snob and will only eat certain yogurt.
she loves watching t.v.
if i turn off the t.v. and work on some chores or something
she will try to turn on the t.v. with the remote.
she isn't very good at playing by herself...
she always needs me to play with her.
she loves sesame street and sesame street books
she calls elmo, bell-bow, cracks me up.
she will make loud noises and then say: shhhh!
i'm sure i'm missing something
but she is growing so fast
she starts something new
and it seems like she's been doing it awhile.
we didn't even make it a half mile down the road
we leaving yet?
the guys all chatted in the living room
we didn't even make it a half mile down the road
we leaving yet?
the guys all chatted in the living room
while the women chatted in the kitchen.
emi the future photographer.

christmas morning we opened presents and enjoyed the day.
emi enjoyed unwrapping presents.
playing with her new tea set and kitchen pots and pans
i hope she enjoys her new kitchen when we go home.
