18 months- Emery

Little Miss Em-

You still have many nick names. Em Em, tiny, mingo, little stink, Emmy, and sometimes we even call you by your given name Emery. You seem to know that all of them are referring to you. You are a little spit fire, just like the rest of your siblings. You have figured out how to climb up on the bar stools, up on the table, and the couches. Running the iPad and my phone are so easy for you. You like to look at pictures on my phone and always watch movies. Inside Out is not your favorite anymore, you now switch between Zootopia and The Good Dinosaur. You love to get your hair done and to pick out your own clothes. But you always tease me when it is time to get dressed. You also love the tubby, or shower. You love to dance to music and have the cutest little dance moves. You also pack your blanket with you all around the house and have to sleep with it every day.  Dad is still your favorite and when he gets home from work you don't leave his side. Going shopping with you is getting harder because your attention span is so short. You also have a short fuse when it comes to your brother. He is always getting in your space and messing with you and by the end of the day you are pretty growly with him. You are starting to play pretend with little toys, and you really like to play with Parker's train sets when he isn't around to tell you no. Some of your favorite foods are ramen noodles, eggs, milk, chicken, sea shells, cheese, pretzels, and yogurt bites. You are getting really good at feeding yourself with a spoon or fork as well. You understand so much of what we say, but aren't quite saying a words yet. You say a few and the DR says that is alright. Mom, Da-da, What's that, bye, hi, papa, baby, puppy, and maybe one or two more. You love to blow kisses when someone says bye. We all laugh at the things you do each day. It seems like you are figuring out more and more what things do, or how to do them. It is so cute to see you grow and learn. Dad is loving it because he missed a lot of this stage with your siblings because he was working so much. Thank you for being our little ray of sunshine baby girl. 

At your check up you weighed 26 lbs (88%) and were 31 inches (28%). You are definitely our stockiest baby, but it is so lovable. I know you will probably thin out as you get a bit bigger and more active, but even if you don't you will still be cute cute! 

I was able to get all of your hair up into pig tails one day for church. You looked so adorable.
