17 Months

Here's what she's doing....
It has been a long time since I have updated Emmalyn's growth and milestones. 
Gross Motor:
*climbing up on everything
*attempting to jump and thinks that if she is on her tippy toes she thinks she is jumping (so cute)
*climbs up the stairs very well and very fast. She loves to slide down the stairs on her bottom
Fine Motor:
*loves doing simple one piece puzzles, fitting shapes into their proper hole
*pushing buttons--She loves to turn on the T.V. and says "watch" as she does it.  Loves playing with her brothers Xbox controllers and D.S.
*She loves to draw and color and can hold her pencil/marker correctly
Language:
This girl is a talking machine.  Too many words to put down, but some of her favorites are:
"nigh, night"
"baby sleeping, shhh"
"outside"
"truck"
Sign language:
She has mastered please, thank you, more, and milk.  I haven't really taught her more, just because her language has increased so much. 
This girl is definitely asserting her independence.  She wants to do everything herself.  She is a girl, that loves her babies, purses, and bows.

She is still on the petite side.  She only weighs 21 pounds and is 31 inches tall.  We are slowing making the transition from 2 naps to 1.  We are in love with this crazy girl and keeps us on our toes.

What Have We Been Up To?

These days our lives are all about soccer.  Wes made the AYSO spring select team and it is pretty intense and very time consuming.  We usually have 3-4 games every weekend depending on how well they do.  Most of the tournaments have been local, but by the end of the season we will have traveled to Arizona, San Diego, San Juan Capistrano and Huntington Beach.  We are very proud of Wesley that he has managed to keep up his grades while being so busy with soccer.  Not only is Wes playing, but I am reffing games at the tournament, so that means Paul is picking up a lot of the "mom" duties with Emmalyn.

  Emmalyn keeps us pretty busy too.  She is such a happy, silly, loving, easy going, crazy, running, climbing little girl.  She is very into taking care of her babies and stuffed animals.  She loves to feed them, change them, talk to them, and take them for walks in their stroller.  Emmalyn has become quite the talker.  She can say so many words it's amazing. 

These two are my world.  Yes they keep me very busy, but I wouldn't change it for anything.
