18 months!

Our little cowgirl is already 18 months! She is getting so big I can't even stand it! Here are her stats:
33 1/4 inches, 90th percentile
22.6 lbs, 24th percentile
Head circ: 47 cm, 64th percntile
She is pretty tall, but still skinny as always!
She has become quite the picky eater, I never can seem to get her to eat her veggies. I swear she could live off of eggs, hot dogs, and mac and cheese, but thankfully I try and switch it up a bit for her.  She does love fruit, just not the veggies.
Here are some of the things she does now.....
She says "love you".  When she is pretending to talk on the phone, before she takes it away from her ear she says "love you".  How observant is that!
She can say "Affie", her aunt Afton worked hard to make her say that
Ask her to spank her bum and she will, its the cutest thing ever
We are working on the animal sounds but so far she can do dog, cat, and cow
She gives high five and rocks
She loves to put on mommy's make up and she is starting to really love my kitchen.  I clean up the  pots and pans sometimes four or five times a day. I hope she will revert to the kitchen set we are making for her after Christmas!
She still loves the bathroom and I'm constantly having to make sure the doors are closed.  When I catch her playing with the toilet paper, she instantly "blows her nose" into it so she can let me know she is putting it to good use!
She still speaks Chinese (she jabbers constantly). Grandpa Rasmussen taught her how to say "chop chop" and she puts her hands together and chops her hand.  Its hard to describe, but its funny....
She loves all of her cousins and loves to play with them!
It is so fun to see her evolve into her own little person, this is the funnest stage.  And next week she will officially be in nursery! Chance will finally be able to go to all of his meeting whether he wants to or not. :) It will be intersting to see how she does. Well, until next time!

Getting crafty!

Thanks to being inspired by Pintrest, I really want to do at least one thing crafty and useful every month! Pintrest has such good ideas and seem to make it easy for craft dummies like me....
I found these cute snowflakes made out of popsicles sticks. It was so super easy and it cost me 2 dollars.  My mother-in-law had a bunch of popsicle sticks and I just bought the spray paint. They turned out awesome!  And you really can't tell they are popsicle sticks!


And Chance's family had a big craft night when we celebrated Thanksgiving and I made this cute wreath.  Chance's mom was so thoughtful and knew I might like to make a BYU one so she bought all of the supplies.  It turned out so cute and it was easy to make as well!
And for Christmas we are making Emma a little kitchen set out of a night stand I bought for 10 dollars on KSL! It started out looking like this...
We took off the top part so it would be just her size.  We sanded it and painted it pink. We found all the assessories we will need for the oven knobs, sink, etc. at Home Depot and everything costed about thirty dollars. It is still in the making so no final pic yet,  you can take a look on my Pintrest board, and while it will be a different color, etc, hopefully it will turn out just as cute!!
Next month I am hoping to make something to hold all my jewlery so it wont get so tangled all of the time!  So many ideas and so little time!

Our little Leopard

A little while ago Emma was on Amoxicillin for a sinus infection. This is what she looked like after day 7....



























Needless to say, she is allergic to Amoxocillin! :) It didn't seem to bug her but it definataly was noticable. And it took 3 days to go away. Poor thing, she looked like a leopard. Just thought I would share!

Halloween

So I know its Christmas and I'm just now getting around to posting Halloween pics but better late then never right? Emma was a ladybug for Halloween. My mother-in-law found the cutest costume at Cracker Barrell (who knew that had costumes right? and she was oh so cute. Me and Chance were bees, so we were all inscects. Here are the pics!!!
