Time flies...

It's been over a month and I guess a half since I posted and so much has happened with Miss Priss. So let me start my rambling and tell you all about it. As in you, I mean the two people who read this blog...me and my brother in law! Emery's weight challenge. After a few months of basically force feeding her we have decided to adapt a go with the flow attitude. She has not gained a huge amount when we force or not force. Her GI has said he is pretty sure there is nothing wrong with her and she is just small like the rest of us. Gee go figure, you think? So after more money and time we are back to just trying to get a Toddler to eat! As if that's not hard enough, try adding in extra calories on a tiny Toddler too??!!! Her Toddler jags have included; grapes, bread, applesauce, watermelon and crackers. I am and have been hoping for beef, chicken or some sort of real food soon! Currently she is eating a napkin, that can't be healthy?! In the past few weeks her vocabulary has exploded. She still has words she can't put together so she babbles, but for the most part she is saying most words, repeating words we say (oh yeah totally can't curse!) and putting together 2 and 3 word sentences. She has also started singing along to her TV show theme songs and is now doing the Hot Dog dance with Mickey (and her favorite all of a sudden, Goofy!). Emery loves baby dolls and plays with them mostly. The blocks that I got her sit in a bag and go unoticed most days. I think it's about time to pack away even more toys soon since Christmas is on the way! Speaking of weight (um yeah, up in the second paragraph), Emery has surpassed the 20lb limit the state requires to turn her seat around. However since I throughly am trusting the new guidelines we are going to wait till at least 2 before we turn it. But last week we put the one in Daddy's car forward facing to see the lights in our local square. And she loves it. I can see pretty soon us being asked to turn her around. I'm holding out for age 2! School is going great. The last 3 times she has gone without crying and the last time she just waved later to me and walked in...my baby is growing up! The teachers say she has a great vocabulary and is very independent. And while she is gaining weight and height, her hair is lacking. Barely enough to pull into a teeny tiny pair of pig tails! Let's get real, the child looks like she has a mullet. And we are getting her 1st hair cut in Disney World in January! WHAT? No hair to cut! OMG! We also have major attitude. If Emery doesn't get her way, doesn't want something or is told to do something she doesn't want to do, then we have the throwing and crying fits. We recently implemented Time Out and it seems to be working for now. Just have to be consistent and willing to do it no matter what and where! Well that's all for now folks! Happy Holidays!
