It's been a while since I last posted! Blogging has definitely been put on the back burner lately due to me being in full nesting mode, and trying to get things in order for baby sister to get here.
This past week I pulled out all of Ella's old onesies and other clothing to wash and hang in Emerson's closet. It was amazing the rush of memories and emotions that came along with seeing certain outfits again. It took me forever to go through everything because I would just sit there and reminisce as I sorted through. Ella wanted to "help" me {and by help I mean take everything out of the containers and put them on her head}, so she got to listen to me tell stories to her about when and where she wore each item of clothing. :)
It is truly amazing how far that little girl has come in her short almost 20 months!
Today we finally had Ella's 18 month check-up...almost 2 months late. It turned out that way because her year appt. was set up late as well. Anyway, we had a fabulous report and Dr. Smithers was very proud of Ella's progress. She now knows her ABC's and can recognize each letter in print, her numbers through 15, shapes, and colors. Her vocabulary is amazing, and I love that we can understand most everything she says or is asking for. She loves to color, read, and "play puzzles" as she would say. The park is definitely her favorite place to go right now, and her and daddy go almost every afternoon when he gets home.
Ella's stats:
Weight: 26 lbs. 9 oz. (50-75%)
Height: 34 in (75-90%)
Head: 48cm (75-90%)
We got her wooden potty seat in the mail the other day, and I finally got it set up this afternoon. She wanted to go potty in it immediately after seeing it, so that is exactly what she did. Every time she does it she gets the most surprised look on her face. I am not pushing the potty issue right now, but thought it would be nice to have her gradually get used to it.
Ella has really gotten into singing and dancing and moving to the songs that are on her dvd's, so I caught a few of her moves on camera today. She loves to sing along, and I will hear her singing some of the songs to herself while playing something else during the day. It is the sweetest sound!
And when she gets tired, she sits like this and I love it! She looks like such a big girl to me.
Or she grabs a book and lays on her stomach to read.
This is what I get when I ask for a smile these days...so cheesy!
Well, I am officially 30 weeks pregnant! It is going by so fast!!! I have a dr. appt. tomorrow as well and am hoping to peek at Miss Emerson. We haven't seen her since I was about 19 weeks prego. I am also hoping that we talk about a date for her birthday. :) I will update more tomorrow...have a great rest of the week!
