Emma's One Year Stats!

Yesterday Emma had her one year appointment with her pediatrician.  She seems to be meeting all of her milestones and is healthy as a horse.  Thankfully, her last pesky ear infection seems to be all cleared up as well.  At her appointment she had a lead test done and got 5 immunizations.  She was very brave!  Some stats and facts on Emma:

Stats

Weight:  25lb, 13 oz; 95th percentile (same weight for the past 2 months)

Length:  30.25 inches; 80th percentile  (she is sprouting!)

Facts
1.  Emma is saying words like MO! (more), Deezehe (Daisy), momma, dadda, no, baba (bottle), and a few more we don't quite understand.

2.  Emma is walking more and more on her own.  Her confidence is certainly growing!

3.  She can follow certain commands such as "sit down, arms up, and put your toys here"

4.  She understands "no" perfectly well but understands it more as a request rather than a command.  She mostly chooses to deny such requests.

5.  Temper! Temper!  These days Emma is showing her frustration and anger by hitting herself and others.  She doesn't mess around and goes straight for the head and face, however she does use her arsenal of pinching, kicking and scratching as well.

6.  Still won't sleep in her bed (yeah, yeah, I know what you told me)

7.  Still wants to be held all morning long.  Today I had to sacrifice a whole bottle of lotion and a container of dental floss just to get enough time to get dressed.

8.  CHARMER!  This girl is fully committed to whatever needs to be done to get your attention (especially in restaurants).  Once she has caught someones attention she then attempts to melt her audience with a buttery smile (it borders on being over the top) 

9.  Emma has recently graduated out of the infant room to the toddler room at daycare!!  She adapted the best out of all the kids.  No tears, just fun

10.  DIVA.  "Do it Emma's way and no one gets hurt"

on the way home from Florida.  Captured in one of the 

two minutes she wasn't screaming her head off.
