I've posted a lot of pics this month already, but here's the entire link if you want to see them all:

Sorry there are a lot - but it's been a busy month! We've gotten to do a lot of really fun things this month. I am looking forward to things slowing down here sometime soon!!! We had Emily into the Dr last week because her eye swelled up again like it did in July. We're still not sure what is causing it. The Dr thought it might be a stye, but I think it was too far from her eyelid to be one. So who knows. We just used benadryl and it cleared up in about 4 days. It's frustrating to not know what is causing it. Hopefully we will figure it out soon!!

Em is 20 months old now!! She is still a little peanut though. She is growing, but slowly! I think she's about 23lbs now and she's wearing 18 month clothes still. Seems like she's been in them forever. She also has the smallest feet ever, she is barely in size 5. Some of her 5's fit and some are too big. Crazy!!!

She is talking up a storm!!! I bet she has 25 - 50 words now. She is doing so well with her words. We are working on counting 1 - 2 - 3. She says "2 - 2 - 2". ha ha Guess we'll be ready when December rolls around to ask her how old she is!!! Speaking of being almost 2 - she has quite the temper tantrums in her. Hard to believe such a sweet little angel can turn into such an evil child!!! She likes to get her way and if she doesn't she clearly lets you know about it. We have started timeouts at home and they seem to work. Ignoring her also works :) It's the public tantrums that aren't quite as easy to manage!!

I just signed her up for music class again at Prairie Music Academy. We did two sessions last winter & spring and she just loved it. Every night she asks me to sing to her...I am awful, but she loves it. So I wanted to get her back into music. Maybe she'll take after her daddy and be a music genius!!!! We start mid-september on every Tuesday night for 10 weeks. Yay!

Last weekend Kory had the truck home, so we got some cute pics of Emme playing around in it:
