twenty

emmerson claire will be 20 months old at the end of this month. it's so bitter sweet to see her grow up. I love her little personality so very much! she is happy 98% of the time, but that doesn't make her easy. she has more energy than anyone i've ever met except maybe patti and so i am constantly on the go. she's a mommas girl, which i kinda like because i'm quite certain that i'm equally attached to her. she sings lots of songs and just learned to count to 10 like a champ. she takes a gym class and a ballet class, which she turns into more of a freestyle dance class. she is still as entertaining as ever. she sticks her finger up her nose and says "mommy! boogers!" and then a couple seconds later..."i got it" thanks greg. she can say just about anything and seems to have a really good understanding of everything except "no". go figure. selective memory for sure. she has a fiery little temper every now and then, like when she knows i have cupcakes, but make her wait to eat one. raging bull status. not cute. she's a little more shy than she ever used to be, and slighty more timid to do certain things so i don't fear for her safety nearly as much as i used to. she is really into fancy dresses, shoes, gloves and hats. i have a feeling that i wont be able to avoid the princess scene much longer. beckett is still her very best friend, but we've added cousin landon into the mix. she adores both of them. i'm truly cherishing the time i get to spend with this sweet little girl just her and i.
