Emeline's Quirks, Sillies and Milestones - 19 Months

...Since it's been cold season, you have learned how to pretend blow and actually wipe your own nose when it's running.  If Mommy or Daddy have a cold and you don't, you still want your own Kleenex to mimic us as we wipe or blow our noses...
...You continue to be fascinated by Elmo, although you don't like watching Sesame Street.  You just like Elmo.  When you want to play your Elmo ABC or Elmo 123 game, you start yelling 'Elmo, Elmo, Elmo!'...
...On the days that it is warm enough, we've been going to the park.  You can officially climb up the playscape and slide by yourself.  You even climbed up a steep ladder all by yourself.  Mommy was nervous, but I always knew you were a climber...
...You love to 'cheers' our cups in the morning.  We start each morning with a 'cheers to a beautiful day together'. And then we cheers 15 more times before you finish your milk and I my coffee.  It still makes my heart smile every time you do it...
...You still love your tea time and every night before bed we have a cup of tea and of course we 'cheers'...
...We have been baking together a lot this month and you love to stir the bowl and lick the spoon when we are done.  Who doesn't?  You are such a big help and are so into it as I read the recipe and tell you the quantity and ingredient that comes next.  I can't wait to make a lifetime of memories with you in the kitchen...
...You have really started to love reading now and your favorite book is Love Ruby Valentine.  I have a reading corner set up for you and it's decorated for Valentine's Day.  Outside of your tent is a basket of Valentine books and you bring Love Ruby Valentine to me every time.  Thankfully it's a super cute and sweet story and Mommy loves it too...
...You have a new favorite song and it's called Joshua Giraffe by Raffi.  Daddy and I used to joke how much we didn't like that song and in fact we always used to skip in when we listened to the Raffi CD.  Now it's your favorite and there is no skipping that 6 minute song...
...You are talking, babbling and putting new words together every day.  I would guess now you say 50+ words...
Ringing in 2014

Playing with your new toys Santa brought you. 



This may have been after Christmas, but we couldn't let go of Christmas this year.  It was just so much fun with you. 



This picture is one of my favorites of you two.  Mila came over for a cousin date and you sat on her...




This is where you obsession with Elmo began - Elmo's ABC's on the IPad. 





We went to Vegas and you got to meet your new cousin Rowan!
You loved him, but he wasn't so sure about you. 



The weather warmed up enough for some park time with Daddy. 













Grammy and Poppa came over for a visit this day.  You were just being super cute and sweet. 







This is another one of my all time favorite photos of you. 


Snow (I mean ice) day in Texas! 

You had a blast!







Such happiness.
