AMAZED!!!!
I'm constantly amazed at the things that my sweet Emma Kate does! She loves fruit and veggies and her favorite things to eat are strawberries and bananas! I think she'll be turning into a strawberry/banana soon:-) Not only does she help me doing things around the house, like taking clean plates out of the dishwasher, but she also is learning new words like crazy!!! We got her a Leapfrog musical learning table for Christmas and she was just playing with it. When pushing the colored keys (which then say the color) she said red for the red key, yellow for the yellow, blue for the blue, and green for the green key! She also says up.
Here are Emma's new words that she has learned:
* blue
* yellow
* red
* green
* keys- when holding or looking at keys
* light- she'll look up at a light, point, and say wight
* that- she'll say this and point at what she wants if she doesn't know the word
* cheese- Emma loves cheese and eats it for snack a lot of times
* piggys- she'll say it and point at her toes
* nana- for banana which I think she'll be turning into one soon! She loves them!
Foods that we like:
* She loves eating scrambled eggs, turkey bacon, buscuits, and waffles
* She loves most fruit and veggies and is very good about eating them
* She loves her grains and eats bread, rice, pasta, and cereal
* She loves the rice, refried beans, soft tacos, sauteed onion, green pepper, and onion at the Mexican resturant. She also likes the grilled chicken sandwich on a whole wheat bun from Sonic! The grilled chicken sandwich is the ONLY fast food she has had and all she'll have for a long time!
I'm so PROUD of Emma and just wanted to share!!

Emma's new tooth!
Emma hadn't been feeling good lately and I was afraid she was getting an ear infection. So, off to the doctor we went on Wednesday. The good news: NO ear infection! The bad news: I still didn't know what was wrong. I then thought well maybe she just has a little cold. She has two older brothers in public school, so it wouldn't be suprising.
Emma got her 1st tooth for her 1st birthday and Thursday morning when we woke up, Emma had a new tooth and was officially 13 months old. Looks like a pattern here, huh?
1st tooth: 12 months April 12, 2011
2nd tooth: 13 months May 12, 2011
Who knows, maybe she'll get a new tooth once a month on the 12th!

My couponing quest continues...
Currently (and for the past 3 days) I've been strategizing on how to make the best pairing between my coupons and in-store sales to get the best bang for my buck! As of right now, I'm going to Walmart and Walgreens this week. I'm not finished with my lists yet but as of right now, I'm looking to save about $109. That's not including the amount I'm saving from price matching! I also haven't added the baby things that I need! I will post my totals after completing my shopping!!
