Happy Monthday...

 Estelle Emersyn King, you are 20 months old!!

What have you been up to lately?

Well, you are a mess! A precious, delightful, funny, darling MESS! You do the funniest things and once you have made your mind up to what you want, you don't stop until you have accomplished something or gotten your way. The picture below showcases your favorite spot to watch TV with everyone. It's the package your Cabbage Patch Kid came in. You keep it in your closet and drag it out during family movie time.

Radley is your best-friend. As soon as you wake up in the morning you look at me or your daddy and say, "Radley, Radley, Radley" and point to his room. You want to do whatever he is doing and follow him around. Y'all play together so nicely and he is a sucker of a big brother letting you poke, prod, point, and tickle. He gives in to your demands, which is very sweet, but he shouldn't be so nice all the time. You are a tough little cookie. You love to tell him "NO!" if he tries to play with something that you may  be interested in, but if he does the same you well up like a pitiful little soul. We giggle at you, of course. 

You love taking pictures (hmmm, wonder how that happened). You will point to the camera and say, "Cheese!" and once the picture is snapped you will run over and demand to see "Emmy". 

 

One of your favorite games right now is to point out who is in the room. You always start with yourself like we don't know who you are: Emmy, Radley, Daddy.... pause, look at me, pause... Emmy, Radley, Daddy. Then you giggle and say, "Mommy!". I love it. 

You love baby dolls and dress up. You also love your play kitchen. You are pretty awesome sword fighter/light saber extraordinaire  due to the teachings of your brother. You also make sound effects more than any other little girl I've met. Your favorite thing to impersonate is a dinosaur. 

You have actually started to request to be read a book but you prefer flashcards. You love to draw and color and if you hear music you start to "dansh". You are a girly, girl... requesting a bow each morning for your hair. You also love to wear this gown to sleep in which I think is just adorable.

And you are still petite. I'm guessing 22 pounds tops. We put you in 6-9 month clothes sometimes and they fit - makes me wonder why I even buy you new clothes. We get compliments all the time on how cute you are and I think you know it. :)

We love you, Emmy!!
