Emma 23 Months

A total sweetheart

Gaining independence

Started saying 3-word sentences (first one: "Olona going potty") :)

Talking like crazy and always shocks me with what she knows

Love how she says "coffeecake" and "firetruck" in particular

And "nack" when she wants a snack

Enthralled by nature - dandelions, leaves, flowers

LOVES watermelon (almost invaded a nearby picnic to get her hands on some)

Thought she'd died and gone to heaven in the raspberry field

Struggles to nap longer than 40 minutes

First real ponytail!!

Isla's little shadow

Climbing on play structures and totally self sufficient on the slide 

Puts her hands in the hair and yells "Woooo" when we drive down hills

Totally warmed up to dogs

Painted for the first time (found her blue hands rather disturbing)

My little snuggler 

Always picks Isla's bed when its her turn to choose where we do bedtime prayers

Two new teeth (has all 4 bottom front now!)
The best car traveler

Thinks her uncles are something else

Finally eats cheese!!!!!

Looks for Daddy in the morning

Doesn't like getting splashed

Obsessed with pushing the doll stroller or shopping cart

Loves buses and calls it out when she sees one

A total joy and total goof in one great almost-two-year-old package!
