I'm not continuing "monthly pictures" but I did want to write down a few things so I'll remember in the future! Emory is changing and learning something new everyday! It blows my mind!
Shortly after her first birthday we started transitioning to whole milk. We started just adding 1 oz to her bottle and continued until she was completely off of formula. It only took about a week and she never had the first problem. She thinks whole milk is great and so does our pocket book :). After we mastered whole milk we decided to go cold turkey with the bottle.. Emory never looked back! It was so easy and this Mama was so thankful!
Emory has continued to do really well with her "daycare food" transition! She will eat just about anything these days! Some of her favorites: carrots, apples, kiwi, puffs, yogurt, cereal bars, cheese, cheese toast, milk, and water. She's not a juice fan and that's perfectly fine with me!
A few weeks after her first birthday this girl became a full time walker!!! Now, at 14 months, she's a runner, haha! She thinks she is SO big!
Emory LOVES to be outside! We have really been enjoying her red wagon and her coop car she got for Christmas! If we're not out riding she likes to just walk in yard. Her vocabulary has increased a lot too! She can say: uh oh, thank you, hey, Mama, Dada, dog, bye-bye, and no no - all at appropriate times. She waves hey and bye, blows kisses, shakes her finger no no, and throws her hands up when we say "Touchdown!" She's still been hitting some but it's mostly me and John, sometimes herself. We're working on it and practice being "gentle" a lot, ha! The girl loves to "read" and carries her books all over the house. She also loves any stuffed animal or baby doll and is obsessed with taking her shoes and socks off!
Emory did move to the Creeper room at daycare! We were super sad to leave the nursery because those ladies have loved on our girl so well but we're excited to start a new chapter! The transition didn't go as smoothly as I'd hoped. It took several weeks before there weren't any tears but we're adjusted and all is well. A few changes the new room brought:
-She only naps once, usually from 11:00-1:30
-She naps on a COT! Yes, those ladies somehow get 9 toddlers to lay down all at once and sleep for 2+ hours on a cot.. Amazing!
-She eats breakfast, lunch, and has two snacks in the afternoons
-They have story time everyday and do one craft everyday- Oh how I love bringing home those sweet crafts :)
We were so very pumped that Peyton Manning was playing in the Super Bowl this year. We loaded up and headed to Aunt Leslie's house to eat and watch the game! I had an old Manning jersey from when he played for Indianapolis so Emmy got to wear it! The game was absolutely terrible but we still believe Pey Pey is #1!
