Did you want to know about Emma Claire?

Oh good! Because this is a post all about her.

Emma Claire AKA Muffin, Baby and Monkey

Last check up: 15 month appt. Weighed in at 22 lbs 4 oz (60%ile) and height was 31 in (50%ile).

Walking? Yes!
Preferred method of getting around? Crawling!
Talking? Yes!
Commonly used words:
Dada
Up
Bye bye
Et (she says et instead of Eat. I think because I sing her the "I like to et, et, et, epples and benehneh's" song)
Dat (instead of That)
Dis (instead of This)
Duck (funny story, see below)
Mmm mmm (She makes the "moo" sound for a cow as a humming noise)
Sssssss (She makes a snake hiss noise for the "buzz" sound for a bee)
Hmm Hmm (Make a dog barking noise as a hum and that's what Emma does. So cute!)
Puh-ple (for purple)

See anything missing from the list? MAMA. She won't say it! It comes out sometimes as "ah-ba" but it's still inconsistent. :-(

Okay, so the funny story is as follows. I go through cussing phases. Sometimes I'm really good at using alternative phrases but during this pregnancy, I've just been bad! So, Emma and I went to go get coffee with Adam on Monday and as I was having trouble pulling into a parking spot in the parking garage and I said "f*** a duck." And the sweetest little, most precious "duck" came repeated back to me from the back seat. Adam and I just looked at each other and laughed. Guess I should start watching what I say! Someday a curse word might come back to me! Eek!

She loves to swing, loves to read books. . . loves to pull all her clothes or diapers out and leave them on the floor in her room. . . .

There's a lot more to tell about this sweet, sweet girl but mommy brain is kicking in and I kinda, sorta just want to be done with this post so I can take a nap. :-0!!! lol. Bye!

Enjoy the videos!

Swing time!




At little gym. Daddy came!

Martyr muffin after the haircut. Note the one tear on her cheek. Bless her heart; she was provoked!

  1. A girl simply has to protect her curls. She kept looking at the stylist as if trying to understand why this woman was attacking her curls. Love the picture. She is walking and talking, oh my they grow up so fast. Love you all. Thanks for sharing. Ann

  2. Awww. Cute post and cute baby girl! I can't wait to hear her talk.

    The video of the hair cut was so mean. haha. You'll have to show her boyfriends some day when she's grown. I was thinking...i wonder if you could just do it somehow when she's eating in her high chair. Just walk by and snip.....and then walk back by later and snip....haha. Maybe she wouldn't notice?? Of course, then she'd get hair all in her food. Hmm.

  3. ahahahahahaha....great post. She is so damn cute...she can't help it!

    I gave up on not cussing and just had the girls slap my hand everytime I said a bad word. That way, they became part of the enforcement rather than part of the problem. Neither one of them has ever said a cuss word to this day....and believe me...they've heard enough to make a sailor blush.
