I did not realize it had been so long since I had updated...wow! Things have been crazy - as usual. The kids are doing great!! Emmerson is now 19 months old - growing up and changing like crazy! At her 18 month checkup, she was almost 34 inches (95th percentile) and 29 pounds (90th percentile). Growing SO much! She his talking a TON. She can even sing her ABCs (I am trying to get it on video - and I have gotten parts. But it's like she knows - and chooses to do the opposite of what Mommy says! Hmmmm...sounds like her brother! Ha!) Her favorite person in the whole world is still Carter. Even this morning, she ran into our room, where I was getting ready and Carter was laying in bed. She looked at me - but turned and ran to HIM! I did get a hug too, but I was second :( She is doing great in school - it seems like she does a good job of following the rules. She is super happy when she is there - and the love seems to go both ways! They adore her. She is one little spirited lady! She has quite the personality - super smart, very head strong, determined, energetic (I think she runs everywhere she goes!), sassy - she's just all kinds of awesome! And a LOT like her sweet brother :)
Carter is doing great as well! He is 4 1/2 - cannot BELIEVE 5 is around the corner. Makes me so sad! He is still the absolute BEST, SWEETEST brother to Emmerson. He is so kind, gentle, sweet and encouraging with her. It just melts my heart. He is doing great in school too! He seems to enjoy it - although I think he's pretty done with Pre-K! All he talks about is being in Kindergarten, in fact that's what he wants to play when he gets home (which is hard for Mommy because I "play" school all day, every day - ha!) He is incredibly smart and good with numbers. He can count really high - pretty sure he has made it to 100 - he can skip count by 2s, 10s, etc. He also seems really interested in starting to learn to read. He hears words and tries to sound them out - figure out what they start with, end with, etc. And even likes to be "quizzed" on things like that. Such a smart boy! He is also hilarious - talk about a personality! He, just like his sister, is very spirited. Very smart, very head strong, determined, and energetic. But he is also sweet, compassionate and very loving. Love this boy (and his sister) SO much!
