She is so adorable! Her eyes are so big, she's getting so much hair and she has such a sweet smile. She laughs all the time and really looks like a one year old. She's on milk, which has her sleeping much better through the night (still ding a bottle around 10:30 and midnight), and she eats pretty much whatever we put on her tray. She's standing and furniture surfing, and could walk if she wanted to. She goes along with whatever Gweneth is doing. They crack each other up, as well as wanting whatever the other has. She loves to drink water out of a sippy cup.

Her personality seems to grow every day. She is so cute. She is super smiley, wakes up super happy, and is just adorable with Justin. She says "Daaaaaaaaaady" when she sees him. She is more and more snuggly.

She does the cutest thing, she says "yeah" really fast when you ask her a question. "Do you want a bottle?" "yeah".

Her hair is growing so fast and has all these little curls. She's a pretty good eater. She'll eat whatever we put in front of her, for breakfast she usually has eggs and yogurt, lunch is generally chicken nuggets and some more yogurt or apple sauce, and then dinner is whatever we're having. Her main food though is still milk.

She loves to dance! Anytime music comes on she bops around so much. It's adorable.

16 Months
She's been walking for about 6 weeks now. And she's starting to speak a lot. She says "pease" for please when she wants more food, she says "bess you" when someone sneezes, and has her version of "thank you". Her favorite word is "Daaaaady!" and she says "Mamma", too. She will try to repeat whatever word you tell her.

She loves to sing. She sings along with most songs, especially the Bubble Guppies theme song (she loves Bubble Guppies). If a song talks about clapping, she will clap. She is growing more curly hair every day and is super smiley and just an adorable sweet heart.

Gemma is speaking so much! She says more every day and says little sentences. She says "I wuv you!" all the time. She refers to Gweneth as "Gemma", even though she knows Gweneth's name and her own name.

July 2019 (2 years 4 months)
She can climb out of her crib, but only did it one night and since we've told her not to she hasn't. There's still one rung lower we can put the mattress, so we'll do that.

She's seen Gweneth using the potty, so she asks to use it a lot. It's super cute. She sits on the potty, does nothing, grabs some toilet paper and then says "I did it!", and she's super excited.

They're not supposed to say "gosh", "stupid", or "yuck", so they keep either saying it, or telling me when the other one, or someone on TV says it.
