Emma Well Baby

Today she is 25 lbs and 32.5 inches. Growth is going great. Dr. has a problem with Ms. Em's speech though. Emma only says "mom" and "hi" and she has a mock attempt at "cheese" which is more like "eeese" She has said, grandma, bird, dada, and a one word para-phrase of "whats that" which is "waasat" She has said those maybe once, twice. She prefers "Mom" and "Hi" that's it. She loves saying "hi" in fact. So much she'll say it over and over and over and over until you've said "hi" back to her.



She will sign for "Milk" and "All Done" and will shake her head yes and no appropriately and also for the sake of being a little stinker.



But apparently she is supposed to be speaking more at 16 months. Soooo Dr. wants Em to start Birth to 3

Urgh. I kind of don't want to. Not that I don't want Emma to be on schedule, but I have a gut feeling that Emma is simply one of these kids that is working on her physical stuff right now and will get to the talking later. I mean.... give that kid a plane ticket and a pocket full of dreams and she'll climb Mt. Everest. Seriously... the girl scales the couch as well as sits on top of the dinner table.

She pulled out that dinner table sitting gem last night. Nice huh ? That's Wyatt behind her freaking out "Mom!!!! Get her off the table!"

Soooo... I took off the table cloth and everything after that... it makes it a little harder for her to get on top of the table when she has no leverage.

Anyway..point is.... Gut says she'll talk when shes damn well ready. I wasn't so sure with Wyatt, which is why he went into birth to 3. And look at him now, hes quick as a whip. Not sure what to do with this. Dr. also suggested putting Emma in a regular daycare spot with kids her own age. So she has her own place and space with kids like her. Apparently my one hour 4 times a week at the gym daycare isn't enough ?!

Bleh. I feel like I'm messing up.

Anway... felt 3 lumps in my can a few days ago...had it checked today. It'll be fine, Im sure.
