Emersyn's 12-15 Month Update

Between Halloween, Thanksgiving, and now almost Christmas, the last three months have been a blur.
A wonderful, joyous, jam-packed with fun blur!

We feel like our E girl has gone from a baby to a kid!
She's so expressive, such a chatterbox, and is still her same smiley self.
She truly is a bringer of joy to all those in her presence!


Age: 15 1/2 months
Stats: 25 lbs at her 15 mo. checkup! Tall & skinny!
Clothes: 2T 

Favorite Foods: This girl just LOVES to eat! Granola bars, graham crackers, goldfish, hot dogs, pizza, and cheese are a few faves. Girlfriend also has a sweet tooth... and LOVES cookies & chocolate!

Words: I cannot believe E's vocabulary these days. Lately, her new words are: cookie (surprise surprise- ha!), baby, out, "ho ho ho", Santa (Ha-Ta), please... the list goes on and on! I would guess she knows about 30-50 words which is crazy to me! Our favorite is when she says "I love you"- so stinkin cute!



Activities: Our busy bee is into everything! Opening all the cabinets, drawers, etc. that she can and destroying everything inside. She loves playing at the indoor playgrounds we go to, loves pushing her baby doll around in a stroller, and loves to dance and sing- especially while listening to Taylor Swift or watching Frozen ;) 


Favorite Things: Still super attached to her "nuh-nuh"- which is her pacifier! Loves snuggling with her two blankets in her crib. She's also obsessed with her baby doll and other stuffed animals.



Signature Moves: Constantly signing for "please" when she sees something she wants. So cute and so funny! 

Mom's Proudest Moment: Watching E learn how to nod "yes" or "no"- makes knowing what she wants soooo much easier!

Dad's Proudest Moment: Hearing E yell "Dada!" from across the mall when we met up with him on his break (so cute!) and watching her run up to him every night when he comes home. She even says "dada!" when she hears the garage door open. She's attached to him to say the least!





With Christmas coming up, we are loving getting in the holiday spirit with our little family. We enjoyed visiting the new Holidazzle Market and seeing Santa at Macy's 8th Floor (E loooooves Santa!). We also loved decorating the tree and house together with all of our Christmas decorations. E thinks Santa is really neat and is saying "ho ho ho" everywhere we go. So fun to experience her first real memorable Christmas together!  But above all, we are thrilled to celebrate the birth of our Savior. We are so thankful for the hope we have in Him & for the abundance of blessings we have received this year. Amongst the excitement of Christmas, we encourage you to take a moment and remind yourself of the reason for this season - Jesus!

We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year in 2015!

I am hoping for BIG THINGS for this blog- I really want to get on a regular blogging schedule and totally transform the look of my page! Stay tuned ;)
