Emilia is beginning to think that she is a “big girl” now. She refuses to sit in high chair now 98% of the time. She feels that she needs to sit at the table with us. While she may think that she is a big girl, she still has her baby ways to fall back on. She has become more dependent on her pacifier. She use to only use it at bed and riding in the car, but ever since Herm and I left her at Mema’s for the weekend when we went to Vegas that plug is needed most of the day.

She is starting to not watch her Baby Einstein movies as much and choosing full length feature films. Her favorite movies include: Finding Nemo, Monster’s Inc., Cars, and now Princess and the Frog. She seems to be a Pixar animation fan. This girl loves her movies. If I would let her she would watch movies all day long. She likes to watch movies in Daddy’s car and keeps hoping that eventually we will get a DVD player in mommy’s car. We need to invest in another dual screen set because she doesn’t know how to hold onto a single DVD player and likes to push buttons. Since she is still rear-facing and will be for awhile the dual screen players work best. Maybe someday we will find another good deal like we did for Herm’s car.

We had our first big girl potty moment. I wish I would have gotten a picture but my camera was downstairs. After her bath the other night we asked her if she needed to go potty and she actually sat on her potty long enough and did her business. She even asked for toilet paper. Herm and I clapped our hands and told her good job. Emilia then proceeds to put her face in her hands and started crying. It took her a few minutes to realize that she did a good thing. I don’t think that she fully understood what she did as we are not at a point to try potty training yet. She does not tell us when she has to go or when her diaper needs changing. She likes to tell me No when I ask her if she went poopy. So I think that it will be awhile but we are done with diapers.

In the past month we took Emilia to Playhouse Disney Live! On Tour. She did not behave the best but made it through the show. She probably would have been a little better had she received her full nap and if Mickey would have been more at the beginning instead of the end. She did have her first snow cone at the show. She mainly sucked the syrup through the straw and Daddy at most of the ice. We took her to Disney on Ice Finding Nemo last weekend and she had a great time.

Well that is what is happening in our little lives this month. I'll leave you with a picture of Emilia climbing into her baby doll buggy!
