20 Months - Our Little Dancer!

Emma Grace is now a vivacious 20 month old toddler whose favorite activity is dancing!  She also loves reading, singing, playing peek-a-boo and 'get you' (Daddy runs around and chases her around the house).  After reading a book to her, she wants the book and will sit there and 'read' it back to us.  It is priceless!

Emma now weighs 27.2 pounds and loves getting on the scale here at home.  She is already wearing 24 month and 2T clothes!  Not to mention that she is outgrowing shoes like crazy... must be going through a growth spurt!

Her vocabulary is growing daily and she is saying more and more words.  One of the cutest things she says is 'Oh no!' in a very dramatic tone of voice when something goes wrong.  She says names quite well, and says Mama, Dada, Emma and Hannah all the time. She is also learning manners and loves to say 'Thank You,' sometimes saying it over and over when we respond 'You're welcome.'

We try to keep Emma busy and get her out of the house almost every day to socialize and play.  She loves going to Gymboree, the library, splash pads, and on play dates at her little friends' houses.  On Thursdays when Daddy is home, she's also gotten to go to the Phoenix Children's Museum and Arizona Science Center!

Emma is a very sweet, loving and helpful big sister.  She hugs, holds (with some help), kisses and burps Hannah frequently.  When Hannah has play time on the floor, Emma likes to be in charge of Hannah's toys and holds them up for her.  She is protective of her when we are out and about, and never wants to leave her  behind.
