Emmersyn at 18 months

 It is so hard to believe that Emmersyn is already a year and a half! It seems like forever ago and yesterday all at once! Emmersyn has quite the personality. She LOVES to climb anything and will often be found on the table, climbing over the fence at the stairs, swinging from my oven door, or climbing from the dishwasher onto the cabinets. To say she is full of energy is an understatement and we are constantly having to keep our eye on her!

She LOVES to laugh and do funny things. Her new favorite thing to do is climb in Brennen's swing and make faces at herself in the mirror above it. Emmersyn is definitely 100% a mommy's girl. She is ok with Matt as long as I'm not around. Once she sees me, I am the only one that'll do. However, she has to have her daddy put her to bed...crazy girl!

Emmersyn LOVES to be outside. She loves to run and run. She loves to watch the cars go by when we sit on my porch. She loves to slide and swing. I think she would live outside if I let her and LOVES to go to my moms because my mom will just let her run all over the backyard (she has an acre and half).

Emmersyn LOVES her brother and sister. Sometimes I'm afraid she is going to smother Brennen with her "hugs", but they both smile and laugh. She loves to wrestle with Teagan and is quite the strong little monster! I am pretty sure she will be a good athlete because she is both strong and fearless. She wants so bad to keep up with the big kids when we go out with Teagan's friends.  She is not much of a sitter and doesn't like to go on car rides too much unless it's close to nap time. She is much too busy to sit still.

At 18 months Emmersyn:

• wears a size 4 diaper and will sit on the potty (although she won't actually go pee pee yet)
• wears a size 12-18mn in clothes depending on the stretch and style
• wears a size 5 shoe and LOVES shoes
• takes 2 naps during the day (about 1-1.5hrs each)
• sleeps from 8:30pm-6am, although since April it's more like 5:30 and then will come in mommy's bed til 6-6:30
• STILL drinks from a bottle at night, but a sippy during the day. (She climbed over her crib when I took the bottle away at night and broke her tooth)
• has 12 teeth and 4 more coming in
• does NOT like her hair fixed, but loves to have it brushed. If she has a bow in it, she'll rip it out before we leave the house
• has dark brown hair and big blue eyes
• only says 'momma', 'dada', and 'bubba'
• can point to every part of her body when asked
• can follow commands such as go get ____, or put that in the sink

I am so blessed to have such amazing kids. I know I complain (a LOT) about lack of sleep, but I love being a mom and think my kids are great!
