Emma turned 19 months today and is getting to be a big girl! She is very independent and likes to do things without Mommy & Daddy's help (unless she needs it, then she will ask.) She loves to sing songs like Itsy Bitsy Spider, counts down from 10-1 for "Blast Off" and saying more words and phrases. She surprises us with something new every day!
Emma loved playing with her Christmas choo-choo, but Santa had to go back to the North Pole, so she has a new zoo train now and is having fun playing with the animals. She especially likes when the elephant drives the train.
Emma started calling Mommy "Mommy" just before Christmas and loves to say "Hi Mommy", as well as "No Mommy!" For now, Daddy is still "Dada" and she says "No Dada" quite a bit!
Emma loves to read stories before bedtime. At the moment, her favorite books are Brown Bear, Polar Bear, Panda Bear, Baby Bear, and Olivia. She loves to hear them over and over again!
Emma visited the Shedd Aquarium for the first time and had fun seeing all of the fishies. She especially loved the holiday dolphin show and was excited when "Frosty" came out and everyone sang Frosty the Snowman. Dolphins are now her new favorite animal!
