E with his jack-e-lanternEmerson went to the doctor on Monday for his 18 month appointment. I told him we were going to the doctor, and the closest reference point in his little mind is "tractor" so he immediately started saying "bubububub" (his tractor noise) and was content as could be. He wasn't even really upset when we got there and there was no tractor in sight.
Our little guy is a runt!
He weighs 21 lbs. 13 oz.
He is 31 inches tall.
His head is still in the 50th percentile. He has a very good head.
We love our little Emerson. He is growing and learning so much! Some of his/our favorite things about him are:
He is obsessed with firetrucks, tractors, and semi trucks and has sound effects to describe all of them. He just discovered trains at a friend's house. (hint hint Santa)
He can sign: more, please, thank you, flower, star, moon, banana.
He can say: caR, caRs, beah, beaR, mom, dad, more, outside, piggy, elmo, show, drink (aight aight), nanana (banana), Pa (grandpa), Ama (grandma), Fi (Stephy), Abaya (Bradley), Nay (Natalie), Sott (Scott), Shysh (Ashley), yeah, no no no, hi, teeth, juice, that, there, eye, nose, toes, Jesus, and cheese. (Those last two sound very similar...). Today he's just started saying "what's that?" although it sounds more like "wassah?"
He loves to give and blow kisses and hugs.
He loves to watch his "shows". (Baby Signing Time, Elmo's World, Baby Einstein, Super Why)
He loves to go outside.
He likes to be held when he wakes up from his nap.
He has a good little sense of humor and cracks himself up. He also loves to laugh when Mommy and Daddy are being silly.
He likes to dance to music.
He likes to "color" which means loading and unloading the crayons while sitting at the table with a blank sheet of paper.
He is getting better at minding and following directions.
He loves anything with wheels and calls it a car. He can often be found pulling his wagon or pushing his stroller loaded with blocks, animals, and cars.
He loves reading stories, especially if they have firetrucks, tractors, or cars in them.
He gets excited when Daddy "Da" comes home from school. Yesterday he ran up to him and said enthusiastically "Hi Da!" and gave him a big hug. What a warm welcome.
18 months is a big milestone, mostly because it means one glorious thing...NURSERY! He went for the first time while we were in Utah and only cried a little and asked for "mama" when Grandma came in to do singing time. He's been excited to go in but then cries a little after awhile when he realizes he doesn't know anyone; not enough for them to bring him to us yet though. He loves playing with the toys and enjoys snack time and singing time from what I hear.
Emerson, we're so glad you're in our family! You brighten our day and make us laugh. We love you!
