Size/Weight: I weighed her on my scale with a diaper and clothes on, and it said 24 pounds... I'm guessing realistically she's more in the 21-22 pound mark??
Sleep: Kind of similar to last month?? Still up once a night; right at the end of the month she had two teeth pop through so that lead to two nights or so of an extra wake up, but understandably!
Social: She is still equal parts goofy and shy to folks! She loves dancing when she hears music, with a big ol' happy song herself.
Diet: Still formula and all the salt-free foods. It was so weird, doc told us this time around no egg whites, dairy (at all) or grains until one year... (it was eight months with Norah)... so we are quickly approaching the time when eating is a whole lot more fun; I'm still very anti-salt with the little bean, so she's been having everything she's allowed to (before it's been tastily salted and seasoned though, of course!)
Clothes: 18 months are just starting to turn in to belly shirts; 24 month clothes are fitting quite well! (And, cloth diaper booty makes any number of large pants fit well!)
Likes: Still her sister, DA! (dad!), holding my arm when I'm changing her, all our friends and family, and especially MUSIC! If Norah had a love for her purple block, Emma has a love for music-- and making music. She bangs together anything she can, and loves dancing as soon as she catches a tune with a beat.
Dislikes: Getting put down when she'd rather be held (again, Mom-taxi), when Norah corrects her book reading (I WASN'T DONE WITH CHEWING ON THAT PAGE), when you take floor fuzz and random papers away from her.
Milestones: Teeth are finally here! Bottom two showed up nearly at the same time. First her left, then her right. She's getting much sturdier, but isn't pulling up yet, or even sitting up from laying down from that matter. This month she's gotten much stronger though, I'd imagine it's coming soon!
Norah update?:
Preschool is hot and cold, but it's really helping her out! (Mornings are nearly always a bit rough when we get ready for school--she says she's nervous-- but she almost always has fun when we go. She's made a few friends, which makes it much funner. I think she was a bit intimidated by everyone in the beginning.) She really had a fantastic month this month. She's been very polite, helpful, and as always, a fabulous big sister. She loves crawling in to Emma's crib and playing with her. Also this month?? The crib wall (finally!) went away and converted her bed into a toddler bed, and Dabo is GONE! I thought it would never happen! We went to the Tacoma Children's Museum to celebrate.
