Emi's 1 1/2 years old!

Emily turned 1 1/2 a little over a week ago and I've loved reading everyone's little ones birthday & 1/2 birthday posts...and since I have the worst memory, and Emi's doing some cute things right now I thought I better write it down. :)

*she LOVES playing with her baby dolls...feeding, holding, putting them to bed, etc. and saying baaaay-beeee (baby).

*she seems to be potty training herself...she'll go to the bathroom in her diaper and then grab her diaper and say oh-oh-oh. Once she even took my hand after she has gone in her diaper and lead me into the bathroom. As most of you know, this is COMPLETELY different than Alyssa!

*she's starting to say a lot of words ...ma-ma, da-da, ya (yes), bye-bye, and bubba (what we call our dog Bailey) are her favorites! ...but she's starting to repeat a lot of things we try to have her say.

*she's just starting to say no and mine. :( Alyssa gets so upset when she says it...I'm like hmmmm I wonder where she learned it from???

*she tries to get herself dressed (she's really good at getting herself undressed, especially during naps!).

*she LOVES shoes! it's so funny...she always wants to show people her shoes, she takes them off, puts them on, and picks out different pairs from her room all day.

*she likes looking at books...not me reading them to her, just looking at them by herself.

*she loves dancing...and has some pretty sweet dance moves where she takes one leg and puts it in front of her and then spins in a circle. hard to explain, but very funny!

*she has to do everything that Alyssa does ...m&m's for Alyssa, m&m's for Emi ...dancing w/Alyssa, dancing w/Emi ...tickling Alyssa, Emi falls to the ground and waits to be tickled. It's pretty cute!

*she has the sweetest smile and eyes!!! :) I love you Boo Bear!
