Snow

We finally got some snow a week ago. The girls got all excited to play in it. After layering on clothes for a half hour, we were ready. Emma loved to run around eating the snow and trying to sit in it. Not good since she doesn't have snow pants! Liv and Claire had fun making a snow man and naming her "Delilah".

Emmas Blanky

 

 Emma has a blanky. It is cream colored with giraffes on it. It is very soft and cuddly. I have been wrapping her in it since she was a newborn. My friend Rocio gave it to Emma as a baby gift. Emma has grown an attachment to it, and will not go to sleep with out it. The other 2 girls had binkys. Emma never did the binky thing, so now she is a blanky girl! It is nice to know she has something that is comforting to her when I can't be there. Hopefully she doesn't need to take it to college with her though.. ! She only sleeps with it. I do not allow it to go every where with her. The only time it has left the crib is when I let  her take it with her when she had to be babysat a few times.

Chocolate cake

If there is one thing in this house we do not lack in... it is sweets. I am always making or baking something. Probably once a week. Brett would say more often, but really, it's not. Today it was a chocolate cake. I would normally save making a cake for a birthday or holiday, but my cravings got the best of me. This one is chocolate cake soaked in raspberry sauce. Hopefully it tastes good! I still haven't tried it. Claire loves helping me with every step. Emma just LOVES being the clean up crew. She loves licking  down spatulas and beaters. This makes her so smiley and happy ;)In fact as soon as she sees I am done beating, she comes running over begging for a beater to lick.

Talker

Emma is quite the talker at 15 months! She has been talking since around 12 months. Oddly enough- we think her first word was "apple". She says "aah-boo". Her other favorite words are: Mama, Dada, Olivia (Ah-ya-ya), and banana. She has also picked up on some signing words too. She just picked it up so easily! It is so crazy how different children are with their development. Some just do it, and other it takes so much work and patience!
