Emma had her 1 year appointment yesterday. She has had a fever for the last couple of days so they decided not to do the vaccinations but we did go ahead with the rest of the appointment. She weighed in at 23 lbs, 8 oz (85%) and was 31 inches (off the charts!). (At this age, Claire was shorter and chubbier.. :) She was 24 lbs, 8 oz and 30 inches! Pretty close though!)
Emma is so much fun! She took her first step a couple of weeks ago and has been pretty content doing just 2 or 3 at a time. Yesterday, though, she took 13 steps! So, we are getting closer to walking!
She loves music and whenever we sing or she hears music, she starts 'dancing' aka moving her head. It is very cute! She loves to give kisses and wave, too. She can say 'uh-oh' and always uses in in context, like when she drops something off of her changing table or highchair. She also says 'mama' and 'dada'. She can sign 'more' and 'all done.'
She is getting good at following directions, too! The other day I put her milk, her paci, and a doll at the other end of the room and she correctly went to each item I called out.
Emma continues to be our super sensitive little lady. I can't believe how different she is from Claire!! She gets scared easily, has stranger anxiety, and cries every.single.time. we tell her no. I feel bad, but it almost makes me laugh! Even if I'm telling someone else no, she STILL cries! Today Sadie jumped up on our counter and I said, "Sadie, no! Get down!" and Emma started bawling. So tender hearted. :)
She still only has her two little bottom teeth. I can see all 4 on the top under the gums so I'm expecting more soon.
Other than that, she's doing all of the things a normal one-year-old does! No more bottles for her... she drinks (and loves!) her whole milk from a sippy cup. She prefers using a sippy cup with a straw, too. She loves almost all foods. She is still very much a paci girl, just like her sister was!
She goes to bed around 6:30 and lately has been sleeping in until 7 or 7:30 most mornings. She also is getting close to dropping her morning nap. If we are just hanging around home, I'll still put her down in the morning but she usually only sleeps 30-45 minutes. When we are out and about, I just have her skip the morning nap and then put both girls down between 12 and 12:30. It give us so much more freedom with our schedule... gotta love that!
I think that pretty well sums up Emma these days!

She still loved her bottle just two weeks ago when she stayed here! That's all done now?? So sorry she's had a rough birthday week. Hope she feels better soon!
