Brewers on the Move: Blake Emme- Month 18

Dear Blake,

These post get harder and harder to write as you do so many new things everyday and even though they are little they are amazing to watch.

The best part truly is to watch you think. We can take one look at you and know you are trying to work something out in your tiny little head and it just brings so much joy to know that the synapses are firing and you are learning.

The biggest thing you've accomplished this month is identifying objects. You might not be able to say all the words yet, but pretty much anything we say you can point to, go to, or pick up. At times we honestly don't know how you do it.

You are also talking up a storm! I'm not even sure I could make a list of everything you can say, but its a long one.

You have become a pickier eater and like your mother have the BIGGEST sweet tooth. You mainly live on eggs, bread, cheese, yogurt, macaroni, pizza, milk and fruit. You don't hate vegetables but one or two bites seems to be plenty. You really are opposed to meat though...

We started the month with Gigi in town and showed her how much you loved all the animals at the zoo. This was also the first time she has seen you walk around so she got a bigger kick out of you running from exhibit to exhibit then in the animals in them.

We had a few rough nights with one of your canine teeth coming through and for the first time ever I was up with you for hours trying to make you comfortable. Lets just say that was tough on us both.

You've gotten really into Barney and Seasame Street and will clap and sing along to all the songs.

We went to Tampa for two weeks to celebrate Thanksgiving and to hang out with your aunts and uncle and Gigi and H.

You had the best time hanging out with the big kids (Kelsey and Anna) and never wanted to sleep, they were so much fun.

We even got to help set up Gigi's Christmas tree before heading back to Denver.

We are so looking forward to watching you enjoy Christmas this year and know it will make us all smile.

Love,

Mom and Dad
