Olivia was so sweet and did a great job.
Emma wanted to know what her sign said.
And is like 'wtf am I supposed to be doing?'
And then Dan asked her to show us her teeth so we'd get something that looked more like a smile.

First Day of School
Honestly, these pictures were taken three days after school started, but I made them change into their first day of school outfits to recreate the moment. It's better than the 'third week of school' pictures we did last year.
Olivia was so sweet and did a great job.

Emma - 18 Months
Where to even begin on Emma baby. She has such a personality and is talking so much. She's at such a fun age and I'm loving every minute of it.
Height: TBD, Second Kid
Weight: 19 pounds
She says yes and no with "uh-huh" and "un-uhn" and she shakes not just her head but her whole body when she says it. The cutest!
She's been pretty clingy these past few months, but I love it. Although its hard to do things with only one hand, I love getting to hold her sweet little self. I asked her the other day if I could kiss her cheeks all day, and she bounced her sweet self up and down and said "uh huh." Obsessed with her.
Figured out why she is clingy. She has her molars. Poor girl only has 5 front teeth, but she now has her two top molars.
She's walking and running and almost gets both feet off the ground when jumping. She's climbing and sliding and pedaling her tricycle and just wishes she was as tall as her big sister.
She is OBSESSED with shoes. We have to put them away in her room or she won't sleep if she can see them. She puts them on and off all day long, wears her sisters, wear dress up high heels, and squeals with delight when we pass the shoe section of stores.
She loves nail polish and will go pick out a new color and said "paint pink?" for me to paint her nails.
She is hysterical. Olivia was whispering at the table about a popsicle so Emma wouldn't hear, and Emma looked at us and started whispering baby gibberish like she was part of the conversation and then she started cackling. She definitely gets social cues and loves to be part of the jokes.
She has SO many words - and always says "play" or "outside" or "shoes" to tell us what she wants to do. Those are really her 3 favorite things to do.
She's an adventurous eater. Tonight she destroyed some sushi, chicken dumplings, tuna tacos, and some pork. But she still tries asking for a cookie for dinner. One day, it might just work.
She loves the color pink and any time we see anything pink she says "pink!" She will tell me 'shhh' if its bed time, Olivia is pretending to fall asleep, or overall I'm just being too loud.
I have no idea how to do kid ponytails, so I make Olivia flip her head over and I do it that way. Emma will be upside down on her head going "pony" "pony!" because she wants a ponytail too. I don't need Emma to flip her head over, but I don't have the heart to tell her she doesn't have as much hair as her sister.
Emma has to tell everyone goodnight and she used to make a kissing noise in the air at us. But now she goes around and hugs everyone and kisses their face before bed. Olivia and Emma hugging and telling each other goodnight might be my favorite part of every day.
Emma wants so badly to be big. We have a picture of Olivia at the same age washing her hands at the sink. Emma can't even see over the sink - she's so much shorter. She follows her sister to the bathroom, pretending to go potty, and washes her hands and insists on one sip from the water fountain and walking down all stairs (by walking I mean jumping / falling and thinking its funny that I catch her each step).
We also joke that she's a sour patch kid from those commercials. She will hit you and then hug you with the sweetest hug. Or pull her sister's hair and immediately yell "aweeee" while hugging her.
A few other stories from a few months back:
When Emma first said "mommy" I melted, scooped her up, and kissed her. Now she says mommy anytime she wants me to hold her. "Mama. Mama. Momeeeee." The cutest.
She took everything very literal when first understanding what we were saying. She was holding a cup of water and spilling it. I said "hey Emma, set the cup down." She looked confused, and sat down while holding onto her cup. :) Then she had a bubble wand and was trying to blow super hard to blow the big bubbles. I said "Emma wave the wand" - she looked confused again, and with the wand in her left hand she waved at me with her right.
We still call her boopers, boop scoops, and cheeks.
Emma baby - we just love your sweet and funny personality. You are so much fun - and incredibly cute at this age. I hope you never get bigger. I love your adventurous side, that you are up for anything, your stubborn little self, and your heart that is so much bigger than your teeny size. You are the best little sister, our favorite toddler and I couldn't love your sweet self (and those cheeks!) any more!
