15 months old

This big girl just turned 15 months old.  We have seen such a change in the last couple months!  She is no longer a baby!  Though she still calls herself "baby".  She is starting to talk so much.  Not just saying the words we ask her to or repeating us, but actually using words to communicate and tell us what she wants and needs.  Some of her new words are: go, boo boo, bird, poop (thanks Emme), cheese, no!, more, eyes, nose, backpack (our favorite).  She is still a pretty good eater, as in she loves to eat...but she is starting to get picky.  Of course she loves all fruits, she will eat most raw veggies, LOVES frozen peas and mac and cheese.  No change in how she feels about her sister.  She spends most of her day trying to keep up and do everything her sister does.  Emmerson is still very sweet to her (most of the time).  We had her 15 month check up and she is in the 8% for weight and the 26% for height.  She is still a mommys/daddys girl but surprises up with her independence.  She loves to sleep.  She would still like to take two naps
 a day but it doesn't always happen.  She sleeps a solid 12 hours at night and wakes up calm and happy.  We still can't believe how happy and easy she is.  Love this little one!


What?  More food?

She has a VERY ornery side!

Gymnastic

Emmerson started a gymnastic class with her buddy Jack this summer.  She can't wait to go each week.  Here are some pictures from the first week.  They are a little dark since the gym is so big and I am pretty far away!  I will do better next time.

Doing a little fishing

Emme's school always has a summer fish fry.  One of the games was a "fishing" pond.  The girls loved it.  They were working so hard!





Last day of school

Emmerson LOVES school!  Everything about it!  She had a great year at Fairview and made lots of new friends.  She was sad that it was summer and that she wasn't going to see her teachers for awhile.




She looks so much older than her first week of school picture.

Donuts for Dads

Emmerson's school had a special day to celebrate Dads!  Two of her favorite things....Donuts and her dad!

Cuddle time with one of our favorites

Marin's Mom and Dad had meetings so she got to spend the day with us.  She came very early so we had a lazy morning!


When Emmerson woke up Marin was already here so they had to cuddle on the couch for a bit!


Claire tries so hard to keep up with the big girls!


Emme always says, "Baby loves her babies."


Three sweet girls in one little sleeping bag.  

Random moments at the Bloede home!

Our post are usually about events or "real" things we do.  Here is a random moment at our house.
