Emily: Fifteen Months Old

What a cheeseball! Emily definitely recognizes a camera! She is growing by leaps and bounds. No official stats this month--we haven't had to visit the doctor since our well baby check at one year! That's good news--only a couple of colds so far this winter, knock on wood. Doesn't look like she inherited her brother's love of ear infections :) What I Like: all foods, especially cheese, yogurt, chicken, peas, applesauce, and crackers; my bathtime; reading books; building towers with my Mega Blocks; singing songs; playing with toys that make noise; going outside; playing on my swing set and tractor outside (climbing EVERYTHING!)

What I Don't Like: being left alone in a room; being ignored; being overtired; being told "no"

The Monthly Numbers: size 3 in diapers, 4 in shoes, 18 months in clothes, and 14 teeth!

Emily has developed so many new skills, and many of them involved mimicking what other people do. She wanted to get in on the action when Garrett was cleaning the windows. She ended up taking his paper towel away from him, and when he sprayed the cleaner, she wiped up after him!
