18 months

I can't believe my baby girl is already 1 1/2 years old.  Man, is she sassy!  I remember Breck being about the same way around this age.  We have hit the point where it's just better to order out.  Restaurants and grocery stores are just not our friends.  It's not even like they're terrible in these places, it's just not enjoyable.  I am spending all my time redirecting and trying to think of what we can do next to keep them occupied.  I don't even think Jason and I get in one meaningful conversation.  So I guess we'll just settle for picking up dinner and only going to the grocery store while they are at daycare or only take Breck.  Emmy just wants to walk every where these days.  She hates riding in the carts.  She won't sit in a high chair.  She thinks she is a very big girl.  She is staring to tell us when she needs her diaper changed.  She will probably be an early trainer like Breck.  The other day at daycare she was not going to leave before she got her point across that she had pooped and needed her diaper changed before we left.  She went the round about way of doing it but I figured her out.  She is a smart girl (takes after her momma...haha).

*pretty much tells when she wants or needs a diaper change
* sits on the potty every time I go and acts like she is going.  She probably is.
* still like hush little baby to be put to sleep
* does not like to be covered up apparently.....she hadn't slept all night in a week or more so I tried not even covering her up and she slept all night.  This may have been a coincidence because the next night didn't work out in my favor at all!!!!!  But I think her stomach was killing her.
* loves the iPad....is really pretty good at the guess the object game
* loves, loves, loves books.  This is like a totally different kid in the book department.  She carries them around everywhere and gets mad mad mad if anyone tries to take them.  Some times I'm very tempted to let her sleep with it.  I really don't know how she thinks its comfortable to lay on a hard book but whatever.  I love that she will sit for books now.  I don't love reading them continuously and the same book a million times!!!!
* attached to momma these days.  Didn't even want Gigi a couple of those days
* I worried about how it would go taking her to breaks soccer games.  I didn't figure she would sit still for even a minute, but she's doing fairly well.  Stickers are a lifesaver!!!
She loves to sit and read in breaks bed.  If she continues this no sleeping streak I'm tempted to change her crib out.  Then I could just go lay with her until she falls asleep.  Carrying her back to her crib doesn't work.  She is a very light sleeper like her momma.
* going through a stage and will not wear her shoes and socks!!!!!!
