Emma: 17 Months

New this month for Emma:
-loves to dance and can more or less jive to the beat
-top 2 molars snuck their way in while I was busy watching for front teeth
-top right lateral incisor followed closely behind
-LOVES her binkies (one in the mouth, one in the hand for sleep only)
-still taking 2 naps but morning one is shortening
-doesn't like it when mommy leaves her
-loves her bath
-loves brushing her teeth even more
-adores all sound-making toys, particularly Isla's stuffed dog "Violet" 
-is warming back up to real dogs and was even caught petting one a time or two
-loves to "pray" and often re-folds her hands throughout the meal to indicate she wants to pray again
-is learning how to jump and I've never seen anything cuter
-loves to blow her nose and then "clean" the wall with her tissue
-finds an open door and books out, straight for the street
-loves going outside, rain or shine
-really likes standing on the bathroom stool
-wants to wash her hands whenever possible
-favorite veggies: kale, broccoli & cooked carrots
-still loves a good story but prefers to be the ONLY one read to
-learned to bounce down the stairs frontward on her bum and makes the cutest sound while doing it
-has more or less 4 words/sounds that she uses to communicate everything she wants: "yeah," "mmm-mhmm" (no), "uhhhh-uh" (hard to write phonetically but basically ends starts low and ends high and means "I want"), and "Dah" (that), usually said while pointing
-makes a new crinkley face when she's feeling goofy (I have yet to capture it on film)
-still her sweet, cuddly, quirky, usual self that makes me want 10 of her!
