Emma Hadassah 2 Years 5 Months

Our baby girl is turning into more of a big girl nowadays! Here are some fun highlights from this month J

-Emma is now using much longer sentences. I am pretty sure she tries to put in as many words as she can…

-Emma can now get up on the potty, get off the potty, and flush all by herself!

-She likes to play a game where she will say “momma, look it’s a bird!” (M) “Oh, a bird?” (E) “Nope, not a bird”, “momma look it’s a cat” (M) “Oh, a cat!” (E) “Nope, not a cat.” This goes on for about 15 mins.

-Emma still loves helping in the kitchen. She has helped her GiGi (Kenzi’s mom) make pumpkin pancakes, cakes, and cinnamon rolls. Her favorite part is mixing J

-Emma ALWAYS has a song in her heart and loves to perform for people. She also makes sure her audience claps for her at the end J

-She has been learning more how to put puzzles together. They are still a little hard for her but she is getting the hang of it.

-She loves to jump on anything and everything, mattresses, pillows, etc.

-Emma is now wearing 5T clothes! 4T fits her perfectly, 5T gives her a little room to grow….hoping these clothes last more than 3 months! #TallGirlProblems

-Emma loves animals! Big or small, she thinks they all want to be her friend.

-Since being in Oklahoma, Emma has been able to spend lots of time with her cousins.  It has been super fun to see her play with them and see all of them use their imagination when playing.

-Emma loves celebrating birthdays. This past week we got to celebrate Kenzi's mother's birthday and one of Kenzi's best friend's birthday. We also had a baby shower for baby boy which we described to Emma as a birthday party for her brother. We said since we don’t know the day he will be born we are having a party for him and we get to open all his presents. She thought that was fun J

-She is still a huge fan of books! She will sit for longer books now which is fun. Her GiGi has made sure she has lots of books from the library to enjoy. 

-She loves to talk to people about her baby brother and will point to my belly so everyone knows where he is.

-We were driving past some cow pastures in Ok and Emma ‘’asked” the cows if they wanted to drink coke or water. According to Emma, they chose coke.

-We ordered Pizza on the phone one day and had it delivered. Emma thought it was super cool and would pretend to call the Pizza guys on her pink phone and then would open the door when they were supposedly here.

-Emma has been a bit spoiled at GiGi and Pap's house. She loves getting in their bed in the evening and watching cartoons. She also gets a few M&Ms from my mom when she goes in there. 

-Emma is obsessed with Christmas Trees! Her face lights up every time she sees one :)

Fun Things We Did This Month:

-We flew to Oklahoma! This was the first time we only needed two long flights. Normally its takes 3-4 flights for us to get to Oklahoma. Emma did awesome on the flights! She slept pretty much all of the first flight.  The second flight she enjoyed watching lots of movies and eating the food, especially the ice cream J

-We have been speaking at a lot of churches since we arrived in OK. At the first church we spoke at, we were all still adjusting to the time difference. After the service, Emma almost fell asleep on the carpet in the foyer.

-Since being in town, we have been to two baby showers, two birthday parties, and about 5 different parks. Emma loves going down the big slides and thinks the climbing walls at the park are pretty cool.

Tot School (Oct.-Nov. 2016):

-We have slacked off a lot with Tot School. With prepping to leave, flying to the States, and a crazy speaking schedule, we have not kept up with our routine. But we are still working on letter recognition, putting puzzles together, sharing toys, and expanding imaginations!
