13 Months

Emerson Kate - 13 months old (+5 days)

Emme turned 13 months on the 16th so this is a little late, but you know what they say.....

Emme is at the cutest stage! I am more in love with her than ever! She is the sweetest girl, giving tons of those sloppy open-mouth kisses that I {adore}! Some new developments since she turned one: the major one is that she is walking! She is EVERYWHERE! Despite the chasing, I love it! It is so fun to see her meet these milestones! She is still quite the climber. I know it is only a matter of time before I find her in the middle of the kitchen table. Ugh! She is slowly starting to talk more and more. She currently only says 5 discernable words - mama, dada, jackson, cat & dog. She can tell you what a dog, duck and cow say (comes out booooo!), though she will only do it if she is in the mood. This one has a very definite & strong personality! Emme is my eater! She will eat just about anything you put in front of her. Jackson used to be like this, but has quickly grown out of that and basically eats nothing now. That's ok, Emme will eat her food and Jackson's, ha! She loves to play with Jackson even when he is a little rough. This girl is one tough cookie - loves a good tumble! The other night we heard her head thunk on the hearth and she just smiled and got right back to doing whatever she was doing. Jackson would have (even now) run over crying to get a hurt-go-away kiss! Not Emme. She is really starting to love to read books - she wants to read everytime we sit down in the rocker and has just in the last day or two started bringing me books to read to her. She loves to be outside and hates to be in a high chair! We have to be very sure we buckle her in or she is standing up in no time! She is so full of life and things are never mundane with her! This little girl is the most precious thing! She has her Daddy wrapped around her teeny, little finger and her Mommy kinda likes her too! ;)

Always climbing

{Love} that smile!

What? I'm not supposed to do this?

Moooooo!
