Catching Up: May Part 2

Here is a glimpse at what Emery was up to during the second half of May.  Slowly but surely, I will catch up!!!

Plenty of splash pad time

A picnic in the park

A visit from Grandma

Memorial Day

And some random cuteness

Gruene: Then and Now

We had a great weekend in SM with Grandma and Grandpa D. On Saturday, we headed down to Gruene to eat dinner. We took a few pictures, and I had fun comparing them to the ones we took last year.

Emery was 2 months old in the first set of photos, and 17 months old in the new ones.

 Have a great week!

17 Months

I thought I'd do a monthly post since it's been awhile!

Emery is going nonstop most of the time, so her weight has kind of stalled out.  She weighs about 24.5 pounds.   I have no clue how tall she is, but she was 32 inches at her 15 month appointment, so taller than that.  She wears a size 4 diaper, size 5 shoe, and 18-24 month clothes.

Lately Emery LOVES to dance, and it's so funny to watch.   Abraham said she gets that from me, and I think he's probably right.  Most nights before bedtime, we turn Alvin and the Chipmunks up really loud and have a dance party!

She also dances randomly sometimes when there is no music.  She may or may not have also gotten that from me...   

Peek A Boo is another favorite in our house right now.  There is a space between Emery's crib and the wall that is her favorite spot to hide.  Watching her jump out with glee over and over again is hilarious, but it makes getting her changed or dressed difficult!

Emery is a good nighttime sleeper most nights, sleeping between 11 and 12 hours.  We are in the process of switching from 2 naps to 1, and I'm not enjoying the process!

Emery is a picky eater, which I'm hoping is just a toddler phase and not here to stay.   I was incredibly picky through college, and I do NOT want her to take after me in that respect!  Her favorite foods are fruits, carbs, and dairy.  I have to be a little more creative with meat and vegetables.

So far, Emery has 14 teeth and 2 more on their way in.  I'm ready for them to make their appearance so we will be done with teething until the 2 year molars.   Her first dentist appointment was in May, and she was not a fan!

If there is something to get into, Emery will find it!  Her favorites include the trash, the toilet, dog food/water, and the dishwasher.

She loves to "help," which may or may not actually be helpful. For example, what goes in the trash can is not always trash!  It is really cute to watch her pick up her toys or put clothes in the washer, though.

It's hard to believe Emery is almost a year and a half old! She will be starting Mother's Day Out this school year, and I am so nervous and excited!

Have a great weekend!

Catching Up: May Part 1

Ok - so here are some pictures from the first half of May (in no particular order).

Ready for naptime!

Playing with Play Doh (or more like the container)

Playing with sidewalk chalk (Ok - so maybe I did most of it)!

Bubbles!

Enjoying a smoothie in her frog chair

Bathtime

Open, slam shut, laugh hysterically, repeat...

Splashing in the pool

Trying to shove as much spaghetti in her mouth as possible

Is there something on my face???

Itsy bitsy, teeny weeny, pink polka dot bikini!

Splash pad fun

Last but not least, this is the kind of scene I might happen upon if Emery disappears and is too quiet!  It was her first taste of Cheetos, and she was quite impressed.

Have a great week!

I'm still alive!

So I've been on a bit of a blogging hiatus...like a 2 1/2 month hiatus.  

I really love having the blog to look back at, so I WANT to blog, but at the end of the day, it just hasn't been a priority lately.  SO...

I'm going to try to start blogging more regularly again.  

First, I need to do some catching up!  Here are some pictures from the last half of April.

Emery "helping" me unpack from our trip to San Antonio (which I still need to blog about)

Cousin Giovanna's 1st birthday party

I finished my first sewing project.

The weather was great, so we spent a lot of time outside.

  

We did some mess-free finger painting (thanks, Pinterest)!

And 2 random shots to end this post!

Have a great 4th of July week!
