Happy 20 Months!

Wow, now that she's 20 months, 24 months seems so close!  Each month continues to get more fun with her.

Here's what's happening with Emily at 20 months:

 - She's wearing mainly 12-18 month clothes, but can fit into some 18-24 month clothes. 

 - She's cutting 4 more teeth right now.  It's the one right before each of her molars.  Once they are in, it will make the count up to 16.

 - She wears a combo of size 4 and size 5 shoes.

 - Size 4 diaper

 - Starting this month, she now cries every morning when I drop her off at daycare.  She's always happy when she gets picked up.  I'm hoping it's just a stage that she's going through and that it ends soon!

 - She loves to swim in the pool, play at the splash park, take a shower at the end of her tub.  Basically, she loves anything in water.  And she has no fear when it comes to it either (which can be a little scary!).

 - She talks and talks and talks.  We can understand about half of it.  It's getting so much better now that she can actually tell us what she wants.

 - She's still an extremely picky eater!  No fruit, ice cream, very few veggies, etc.  She's not good at all with trying new things.

 - She's starting to like juice, so we give it to her occasionally as a treat.

 - She likes drinking out of a straw.

 - She's doing really well with her spoon and fork.  She wants to feed herself from now on.  She still gets frustrated each meal though and ends up using her hands for at least some of the meal.

 - She loves to call for Lily when we're at home.  Poor Lily is so patient with her.  Emily loves to chase her around.

 - She knows several shapes.

 - She loves to say "no."  She says this all day, every day it feels like.  She also loves to say "mine."  I'm afraid we may already be entering the terrible 2's.

 - She still loves Sesame Street (especially Elmo (Mo,Mo) and the Wiggles. 

 - She can jump.  And she jumps everywhere!
