Emma: 18 Months

Height: 33 inches (84th percentile)

Weight: 28.2 lbs (96th percentile)

Head: 47.4 (79th percentile)

Diapers: Size 5

Shoes: Size 6 and a few still size 5s

Clothes: 18 month and some 24month/2T

Milestones: Language this month has really taken off. Your speech is getting much clearer and becoming less prompted for you to speak. Newest words and funniest expressions that come with are "outside, uh oh, oh no, wow, 'nack, Booper (cooper), down, bite, shoes, socks, all done, alright" are the most recent developments probably. You are learning how to run which looks quite funny and you get going and almost always end up falling forward. Jumps are getting better to where sometimes both feet come off the ground. 

Likes: Eating everyone elses food that is on their plates and just wants "a bite", taking her baby all around the house, being outside all day every day, the beach, the water, the sand, Mickey Mouse clubhouse is still #1, taking her shoes on and off, putting on anyones shoes that are around her and trying to walk in them, climbing on anything, and still loves her bath time with daddy every night. 

Dislikes: being told "no", being taken from something that is dangerous to her, sometimes getting into her carseat, taking medicine, getting her nose cleared, and like most kiddos going to the doc. 

Emma, you are so much fun and I just love watching you explore this big world day in and day out. The things that fascinate you the most and give you the biggest smiles are sometimes such simple things. I am learning so much about cherishing the little things because of your outlook on life. You are smart as a whip and keep me on my toes. You sure know how to test your limits to see how far you can push mommy/daddy. We are challenged every day to make sure we are setting you up for success. We love you so much and can't wait to see what the future brings for you sunshine.

Life Lately

If my lack of blogging lately is any indication both work and life have been hectic. Here's just some pictures to show what we have been up to lately in the Robinson household. 

 Enjoying the beautiful Fall weather at the park. Mainly just go to the one in our neighborhood because #convenient 

 She loves to chase us on the bridge and run back and forth. The giggles she lets out are the best. 

 Monday mornings are rough on all of us 

 Loves reading her books to baby 

Michael and Jamie Stribos got married in Dahlonega and we had the best time with my family celebrating. We had a nice night with all the adults in the family. Beautiful wedding! 

 Lorna is my godmother and was the mother of the groom. She looked beautiful!  

Bathroom is just about done! Vanity has been put in since I took this picture and just last little finishings left before it's all done! Tommy did such a wonderful job #impressedwife

A little outtake from our Christmas photos with my friend, Elizabeth. (Not the one that made the Christmas card but <3 ) 

 Just keeping us entertained every night before bed. 

 The only picture I took at Friendsgiving with all the Mathieson couples at the Hartmans. It was delicious! 

All smiles ready to head to Mimi and Baba's house so mom and dad could go watch the horrific GA/AU game ;) Hoping for a rematch at the SEC championship! 

We took a bus with a bunch of our friends to the game. Had a great day! Wish the result had been better for the dawgs 

Just love my girl. She brings me all the smiles!

Got out the nativity set and it's been as big of a hit this year as it was last year!

As I was gearing up for some important things for work the week before break this girl got sick and well mommy duty called and work had to take a back seat. We had croup! No fun but I think we caught it on the early side so a few days of steroids and the cough got much better leading us into the break. I ended up taking both Wednesday and Thursday off to spend some recoup time with me. I definitely enjoyed the snuggles and one-on-one time. 

 Thursday I had already taken the day off awhile back for some doc appointements for myself and her 18 month appointment was that afternoon. I hadn't intended on her being with me for mine but that's just life. She was really good considering the circumstances! We both survived. 

Now we are at the beach for the week off and I will post updates once we are back! 18 month updates to come soon too. Happy Thanksgiving week! 

Second Half of October

Really been slacking in the update department this month. We've been up to a lot this month that I don't want to forget to document. Fall is here and we are loving it!

A few weeks ago we went to 30A with our friends, the Hartmans, for a quick weekend away. It was so relaxing!

Unfortunately on Saturday night we definitely knew something was up with Emma. She felt very warm and was being very clingy. We gave her tylenol thinking it was just teething or something. Well flash forward to Monday morning and she then was covered with a rash...hand, foot and mouth. It was a miserable few days because she was clearly in a lot of pain because of the sores in her throat. She stayed home for a few days and night time was the worst. She didn't want medicine but she needed the pain medicine. We hope this is a one and done occurrence. 

We decorated her pumpkin she got from the pumpkin patch! 

School pictures came back and oh my goodness...such a HAM!

Park times

At home date night with a fire. Just what the doctor ordered after a week of sickness. 

We ventured to the Battery for lunch at Antico. Lots of fun walking around and playing with balloons. Toddlers are so easily entertained and they are so entertaining. She is pure JOY.

Some auburn watching fun

Some updates on our bathroom progress. Only a few things left for Tommy to do. I am SO happy with how it's turned out. He has worked SO hard. #handyhusband

Just because I think she looks cute :) 

We were really missing Mimi and Baba. They were in South Africa the past few weeks. HOME today!

Tickle Monster!

I am biased but isn't she the cutest unicorn ever! I love a baby in a costume. 

Trick or Trunk at my school (we were so happy to have the Willis join in on the fun. He's the cutest mickey in my opinion #lovethatnephewofmine)

We had some friends over for the GA/FL game (GOOO DAWGS!!!!) and Emma was just mesmerized by her best bud, Gavin)

Brunch this past Sunday trying a new spot (by default because the wait at West Egg was it's usual way too long for a toddler)

Hanging with Auntie Claire 

We all feel this way on Monday mornings #tired

and ending with some more Halloween fun from the neighborhood party last night.
