13 Months


As my Great-Grandpa Owens would say, Emily has begun her "2 year of life."  Like every month, there have been fun and anticipated milestones to celebrate.


  • Emily has sit scoot crawled since about 9-10 months, but this month she took off with the traditional all 4's crawl.  After her sweet cousin Ellie came to visit, she seemed to figure it out.  I guess she just needed a little person to show her the trick than "old" mom!
  • Emily has enjoyed lots of visitors this month: Uncle Jeff, Aunt Amber, Will, Ellie, Grandpa & Nana, Aunt Sissa, and even "GG" (Double G - Great-Grandma White).
  • Music is Emily's language!  She hums, babbles, drums her lips, claps, and sings "EIEIO."  Emily loves to sing with you.  She will clap her hands to "If You're Happy & You Know It" and "I'm Bringing Home my Baby Bumble Bee."  Most of the time she is a performer.
  • Emily also loves to dance.  If her mouth isn't singing, her feet are dancing on the floor!
  • It seems over night, Emily's hair grows!  She has her daddy's fast growing hair gene.
  • Emily loves to play with her friends Avery & Brinley.  They come to play and she will go to their house while I tutor.
  • Independence seems to be Emily's middle name.  She loves to do things HERSELF from eating, sleeping, and playing.
  • Emily loves to empty things out and is now found the joy of putting things back.
  • Emily loves to play with her kitchen, car, and little people.
  • Our books are well-worn because of our daily reader.  Good thing we had extra packaging tape to keep them together still.
