18 months (well, more like 19 months)

It is so strange to say the Emersen is 18 months...that is one and 1/2!!!! I know I say this all the time, but time is flying by way too fast! (And I am so very late posting this entry since she is now 19 months)

Emersen has really changed a lot during the past few months. She is such a little 'person' complete with her own attitude on things like food, games, and rules.

We had a really good well-check appt., not including the two shots she had to get but at least we are done with our immunizations until she starts school (wow, that is just too much to think about right now).

Here are some of her most recent likes and "stats"~

*she weighs 25.9 lbs and is 34.3 in. tall

*she still wears some 24 month clothes, but we are really getting into the 2T size....and just about size 6 shoes

* 'college'; she loves going to school and playing with her friends. Luckily when Trevor takes her in the AM it is breakfast time and some days she even cries when it is time to leave and head home

*her blankie...oh boy, does she love that

*shoes!!! even my shoes (as you can tell from the picture above..and gosh, she looks so tall for some reason!)

*books

*puzzles

*coloring/writing/drawing/painting

*climbing and even more climbing

*jumping and even more jumping

*taking off her own clothes and shoes...that is the reason for the backwards jacket in the playground pictures :)

It has been an interesting ride into toddler-ville with this little one! She seems to always keep us laughing as well as 'on guard' as she is so quick!! :)

Fall Break 2011

Emersen and I spent my fall break in Indianapolis about a week ago (wow, this post is a little bit late...). We had a great time as always! I was really surprised at how well Emersen did during the car trip, but I guess when she can watch Mickey Mouse, Yo Gabba Gabba, and the Wiggles, anything is possible! :)

While we were in Indy, we got to visit the Children's Museum which was all decked out for Halloween and thanks to Uncle Todd, we were able to get some special "VIP" tickets. The girls played at a water table, explored the exhibit on frogs, and even sat in a racecar!

We also visited a pumpkin patch. Here are the 3 girls before we left the house.

Playing in the toy room~of course with our sunglasses on

Snack time!!

We had a great trip and had so much fun! Thanks to Aunt Megan, Uncle Todd, Nina, Logan, and Zoe for putting up with us and letting us 'take over' your house for a couple of days! :)

Spending time with MiMi and Dzia Dzia

We had a fun weekend with MiMi and Dzia Dzia! On Saturday we got all bundled up and went to the park. Emersen was so excited to wear her new fleece and hat! She thought it would be a good idea to accessorize with her sunglasses too! :)

Bouncing on the airplane.....

UTM was full of sporting events so after Emersen's nap we went to the volleyball match (but only caught the last few points). After the gym cleared out, Emersen had so much fun running around the court. Then it was up the hill to head out for a quick dinner and then off to the football game.

Emersen is very excited about her new red ruby shoes!

Sunday morning treat: Donuts!! I think she likes, them don't you?!?

Before MiMi and Dzia Dzia left we took a quick walk to our neighborhood park. Emersen wanted to wear her fox ears :)

Just hanging out on the swings with Dzia Dzia

We all had such a wonderful weekend and can't wait to do it again!

Emersen the Fox

Last week when I went to pick up Emersen, she had "turned into a fox"!! Her theme for the week at school was forest animals and for a skit she chose to be a fox. Well, she has loved this head piece so much that it has gone to the playground, outside, to the children's library, and on a walk with us. She even likes to put on her fox ears over her hat!!!

Alright Mom, enough with the camera :)
