Emma has been such a joy.... she's growing so fast and doing so many cute things on her own! The first video is of her putting her teddy bear to bed. She did it before, and we just cued her to do certain things. Bedtime is much easier now, btw.... we read our story, say our prayers, sing a song, and she goes into the crib. No crying, no whining. She's asleep within 10-15 minutes. She still wakes up about 2 times a night on average though. (we're nursing once before bed and once when she wakes up for good in the morning).
This is a really sweet video of her "walking" in Daddy's shoes. She actually put her feet in them all by herself and walked all this way on her own. She's done it several times since and just gets a kick out of how big Daddy's shes are!

I Have Mint
Or rather, Emma does. We have an over-abundance of it (if any of our Columbus friends would like some, please just let me know).
Someone tell my baby it's NOT ok that she'll be 17 months old tomorrow. :(

Is It May Already?
Not really sure where the time is going, but in 15 days, Emma will be 17 months old. What?! No way. Not my baby. Not that old already!
These were our hands in January of 2010, when she was just a month old.
Here are our hands again on April 30th, when she was 16 months and 6 days old.
Such a difference. Such a fast-growing little girl. I love her so much!
Thank you to Cousin Debbie, Momma Maurine, Grandma & Grandpa Lewis, and Ms. Steph for the wonderful, special gifts all of you sent. You are all so sweet!!

Busting Myths, One At a Time
April 24-30 is National Infertility Awareness Week
From RESOLVE.org's website -- Myth: If you already have one child, you know you are fertile and will have no problems conceiving again.
Yeah - I'm living proof that's a load of crap. I'm one of the "lucky" ones -- with primary infertility and then secondary infertility. It took us 3 years and 3 miscarriages to get our first living child (angel that she is), and we've been "officially" trying for a year to have our second child, with only one chemical pregnancy to show for it.
Infertility is isolating. Infertility is depressing. Infertility is stigmatizing. And Infertility can be life-consuming. Every day I have to remind myself to focus on the fact that I have beaten infertility once -- I can carry my child through the grocery store or the library, kiss her goodnight, and get to watch her grow up. But in my heart, I still am the bitter infertile, happy for others who get pregnant but sad for me.
Please use this week to bust myths and support the 1 in 8 couples who are struggling with infertility. Visit the RESOLVE.org website to learn more about myths of infertility and the truth about those myths.
From RESOLVE.org's website -- Busted!: Infertility does not discriminate and can strike anyone at anytime throughout the childbearing years. Secondary infertility — the inability to get pregnant naturally or carry a pregnancy to term after successfully conceiving one or more children — is very common.
Approximately 12 percent of women in the United States have secondary infertility, and it accounts for more than half of all infertility cases. Unlike those experiencing difficulty having their first child, people who are affected by secondary infertility are much less likely to seek infertility treatments. Many in this situation are told that they have nothing to worry about, to just keep trying. This can lead to much frustration and loss of precious time.
A number of things can cause secondary infertility including age, damage or blockage to the fallopian tubes, ovulation problems, endometriosis, and problems with sperm production. The testing and diagnosis process is the same as for primary infertility.
Don’t wait to see a fertility doctor (reproductive endocrinologist). If you are having difficulty getting pregnant, the rule of thumb on when to see a fertility specialist is if: You are under 35 and aren’t pregnant within a year of actively trying, or You are over 35 and haven’t conceived within six months of trying.
If you have experienced two or more miscarriages, have a history of sexually transmitted infections, have irregular periods or have especially painful periods, you should make that appointment even sooner.

Family Weekend
Happy and Blessed Easter Everyone!
We had a wonderful weekend. Friday was my "work from home" day so I actually got all my work stuff done before noon, and then Joe and I put together our two new composters (yay for compost!). I finished some things for the garden, and got Emma early for the start of our weekend.
Saturday was the first day of Toddler Yoga, which she absolutely loves AND we went to one of my nursing homes for their Easter Egg hunt. She was a huge hit! She wore a lovely Easter dress and bonnet, and waved at all of the residents. I think she grabbed 20 eggs or more. And for the first time, she tasted chocolate. It started as an accident, but I let her have it. So far her bottom doesn't look too horrible, although tonight it was starting to get very raw looking. She did enjoy it very, very much though.
Today we started our day with our own egg hunt, and she kept signing for "more" eggs to find! Then we hopped in the car and went to the zoo. There were only 88 people there, according to the worker we talked to around 10am (they open at 9) and so it was a nice, peaceful morning. Emma had the petting zoo with the goats ALL to herself (and she loved it!). We also got to see Beco, the 2-year-old elephant calf nursing from Momma! Emma saw it and she turned around and started to sign "milk, milk". It was adorable.
She had a huge eating weekend, lots of fruits and veggies, and she decided she loves hard-boiled eggs. I'll do an Easter picture post later, but for the moment, here are a few to enjoy.

Big Helper Girl
Emma helped me make Raisin Bread last weekend, and this evening she "helped" with laundry. She absolutely LOVES helping! (for the moment, how long will it last?)

16 Months Already?
It doesn't seem possible. But here it is, 16 months old tomorrow. I don't have much to update because it just seems like we did a 15 month update! She's talking more, we're still catching the morning pee in the toilet, and she loves to read books with Mommy and Daddy.
Bedtime is easier, and last night she slept from 8-11pm with no rousing, then we nursed for the last time and went to bed together at 11, and she slept from 11:15 until 3am without a peep. 3am she screamed and cried for about 20 minutes (nightmare, perhaps?) and then went back to sleep, and at 5am we did our morning nursing, then back to sleep until I woke her up at 6:30am so we could get to daycare. She would have slept longer. If we can get that 3am waking out of the picture, I'll be a happy camper.
Easter pictures this weekend!

Fun Videos
A few recent ones, can't believe how big she's getting!
Emma fell and split her lip a week or so ago. She wouldn't let us put ice on it, so we gave her an ice cream bar instead -- worked great! :)
Emma loves dancing, and she also likes getting spun around and around until she gets dizzy. She's figured out how to do it herself AND she signs "more"!
And last, but not least, Emma has figured out how to make her Scout doll play (thank you Aunt Ann, again for the Scout dog!). She loves dancing to his music.

Someone Thinks She's A BIG Girl!!!
Yes, yes she does.
1) She's pee-peed in the potty every morning this week. It takes a little time for her to relax (usually I wash her hands with a warm washcloth, and read her a story) but then she does a BIG pee! Her night-time diapers have been mostly dry too, so I'd guess we're getting 90, 95% of the pee in the potty. It's really hit-or-miss whether we go pee pee at night. OH-- but last Tuesday after her bath, she was doing her naked time and she went into the bathroom, lifted the lid on her potty and said to me "Up!" So I put her on the potty and she pee-peed!! We've not had a repeat performance, but I was very excited and happy about that.
2) She went down the slide All By Herself today while we were at the park. And then did it again and again. She doesn't even need help climbing the stairs! She also made a friend while she was at the park, a little 18-month old girl. Too sweet. She's a very social kid right now, and as long as I'm within visual distance of her, she does great.
3) Sleeping is MUCH better. We did a modified night-time sleep thing, and I went ahead and bit the bullet, putting her down in the crib after only a few minutes of rocking and then I just sat by the crib and only reassured her by pats or verbally. The first night it took 75 minutes before she fell asleep. The second night 35. Then it went up and down.... last night she talked to herself for the better part of 45 minutes and then fell asleep. Tonight she was in a funny mood and screamed even while I was in there, I think it took over 45 minutes before she settled down and that took me laying my hand on her and leaving it there. But it's getting better.
4) The night-weaning process is almost complete. It's helped her sleep better at night too. I'll feed her in between 10 and 11, whenever she rouses and I bring her to bed. Then there's no more nursies until morning. I'll usually let her eat between 5-6 am when she asks for it (and she'll sign for it), but this morning it was 6am! In fact, last night we slept from 11pm to 4am without a peep, and at 4am the only reason she stirred was because I got up to use the bathroom, and she fell right back asleep.
5) I stopped pumping this week. She's refusing to take breastmilk in a cup at daycare, no matter how they prepare it, and on Wednesday I had so many clients back-to-back that I never got to pump. On Thursday I just decided not to even take my pump and Friday I made a conscious choice not to do it. I've pumped for 14 months now, which I take pride in, but I'm done!
6) Her vocabulary, both in language and signs, has skyrocketed in the last week. Her current signs are: milk, more, all done, book, sleep, moon, stars, lights, bath, love, kiss, and drink. Her current words are: Mommy, Daddy, Aunt Bobbie, Uncle, Grandpa, Grandma, HaHa (We call Cousin Heather "Cousin Ha Ha" now), banana, apple, blueberry, up, water, milk, juice, more, no, potty, bath, bubbles, sheep, dog, duck, cat, Samson, go, out, book, stepstool, and I'm sure a few more I don't remember at the moment. Oh... and our first sentence is: "I Know!" (or it could be "Oh NO!" but they sound alike).
I'm amazed at how quickly she's growing up! I'll get a video or two up tomorrow to share. :)

Memory Shawl
I've never crocheted a shawl before, but I wanted to do this in memory of my Mom, who taught me how to crochet. I picked the colors to represent how I'm feeling right now (black and grey with shades of purple), and also picked out some yarn for Cousin Heather, so she could crochet along with me if she'd like. I picked a shawl project so I could wrap this around me when I was missing my Mom and feel like I was getting one of her warm hugs. The yarn was purchased on 3/5/11 and I finished the shawl on 4/3/11. I wore it today at work, and it brought me a lot of joy.

Yay -- Tax refund came today!
Boo -- Daycare payment for the next 3 months is due tomorrow (bye-bye tax refund!).
Yay -- My work hours finally picked up!
Boo -- Life insurance payment is due this month.
Yay -- Emma started saying her own name and pointing to herself!
Boo -- She's up 4-5 times a night again and refusing to go to bed at night sometimes.
Yay -- I ate dairy-free oreo cookies for lunch! (there is no Boo to this, I just wanted to end on a good note, LOL). :)

15 Month Stats
Emma is exactly 21 pounds naked at the pediatrician's office, and was 31 1/2 inches tall (exactly what I predicted!). She is in the 80th %ile for height, and in the 25th %ile for weight, which is consistent for her. Tall, skinny baby!
She got the last Hep B shot today, and her first MMR. And she had a double ear infection, which explains the horrible week we've had sleeping. We'll go back in three more months for her 18-month appointment. The pediatrician is happy with her development, and so is Mommy. :)

Video Time!
Videos from the last few weeks to share.
The world from Emma's View:
We went to a local Metro Park that had a great children's play area -- Emma could actually get up and down on the slide almost by herself. She absolutely loved it! And she started consistently signing "more" this past week, so she used it over and over again.
I'll upload a few tomorrow when I have a chance... bedtime for tonight. Rough day, hopefully a peaceful night.

Potty!
Emma went wee-wee while on her potty tonight! We just sat her on it while she was waiting for her bath water to run, and Daddy handed her a warm washcloth -- it triggered the urge and she acted like such a big girl! We were so excited. One day short of 15 months old. :)
15 Month Update
While my sweetheart is sleeping, I'll try to do a quick update.
At 15 months, Emma is:
*About 21.5 pounds (we have our official appointment for weight/height on Friday) and 31.5 inches tall.
*Loving all kinds of solid foods. Our new favorites: Beans (of all kinds, but especially kidney beans, navy beans and baked beans), pepperoni, mozzarella goat cheese, and banana! We made her a teeny-tiny hamburger just for herself the other day, with beef from Grandpa Miller's farm and home-made buns from Mommy! She enjoyed having that.
*She ate an ENTIRE banana by herself for her snack yesterday afternoon. That's the first time she's eaten the entire thing. AND she held it by herself. The only thing I did was help her with the peel when she needed it down further.
*She's consistently making the signs for "more," "all done," "milk" and "thank you." Not so consistently we sometimes see "diaper" and what I think is our "kiss" sign.
*She's saying more and more words daily, here's the current list: Mommy, Daddy, Kitty, Delilah, Grandma, Aunt Bobbi, Heather, Pretty, All Done, More, Up, Banana, Yum, No, Now, Bubble, Bath, Out, and probably a few more than I've forgotten.
*We purchased a little toilet yesterday and she *loves* sitting on it. I think potty training might be easier than I think (or hope so anyway!).
*She still absolutely loves bath time and her bubbles.
*She loves outside time. We'll take her outside to play, or for a walk in our wagon, and she gets SO excited.
*She still loves to read, and knows her books now. We'll ask her to get "Peek-a-boo" or "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" or others, and she'll go get the correct books. She'll bring books to us, back up onto our laps and expect us to read. It's adorable.
*Our new thing is playing piano every day. She'll sit on my lap or on the bench, and she'll play a few things. At first it was just banging on the keys, now she tries to hit individual keys with her fingers. We have a picture of Grandma Miller up on the piano, and usually she'll see it, point and wave to the picture, say "Grannma?" and then want to kiss the picture. It just about breaks my heart. But I know Grandma Miller would be the first to love something like that, and want to hear her play, so we leave Grandma's picture there and I just foster that continued "relationship" Emma has with her.
*She easily transitioned to the Toddler room at daycare and has re-discovered her friends there. She's entirely off of bottles there, and drinks her breastmilk from a cup. She does love her water, and will sometimes take a glass of almond milk. It really depends on her mood.
*We are still breastfeeding! Usually in the morning around 5am, then again at 6am, I pump usually around noon when I'm at work, then she feeds in the evening before bedtime, around 7:30 or so. So we're down to 3-4 times a day during the week, a little more on the weekends.
*Sleep continues to be an issue. She's reliably taking a 75 minute nap from 12:30 or so daily. We try to go to sleep between 7:30 and 8pm (I'd like it to be earlier but with the time change and the daylight, it's virtually impossible at this point), and she'll wake up between 6:30 and 7am. She'll usually sleep very soundly until about 10:30pm, then she'll come to bed with us. She'll rouse around 2:30 or so, and sometimes around 4:30 again. After 4:30, she gets very restless and do what I call her "alligator" roll -- she'll just roll round and round and round in the same spot, usually up against me. She's asleep when she's doing it, but it definitely keeps me awake. I'm averaging about 6 hours of broken sleep a night still.
I know there's more, but that's all for the moment. It's almost wake-up time.

Reading
We've finally moved into a phase where books are for Reading, not for Eating! Daddy is particularly enjoying this phase. She loves picture books that have actual pictures of babies, not so much other books yet. We did get a "Millie the Cow" book from the library that she seems to enjoy, I think because of all the bright colors.
Her *favorite* book right now is called "All About Me." It is a board book that has different flip pages and things about body parts, and she's gotten where she'll mostly follow along with what the babies are doing. She also loves to flip open the pages herself.
Her second favorite book is "Cow Moo Me" and a close third are all the picture books like "Eat!", "Sleep," "Hugs and Kisses," and "Peekaboo."

Fun Pictures
Just a few pictures of my 14-month old wonder. She's growing up so fast -- when I look at her now, I can barely remember my newborn.
We call her "Pretty Princess Polka-Dot." The crown was $1 at the Jo-Ann's store, and the blanket is clipped together with a clothes-pin! Cheap royalty. :)
And her hair has grown long enough already that she can have another shampoo horn! She absolutely LOVES bath-time. We've had to do a bath every night night, she'll say "Bubbles" and run to the bathtub, and try to throw her leg over to climb in. It's adorable.
