Emerson had her 2-year check up this morning. She was so good! She sat patiently through the exam, didn't fuss getting the flu mist or her finger pricked. She even gave her urine sample by sitting on the potty at their office! I could not believe it. I was (and still am) so proud of her for this! The only time she cried was the very end when she got one shot. It was wonderful.
For record keeping sake here are her current measurements:
-25 lbs- 30%
-35.5" height- 89%
-Also, she is still comfortably in 18-month cloths. She is technically big enough for 24mo according to her stats but she has such a long torso and little legs (like mommy) that the 24mo pants are ENORMOUS on her.
During the exam when the doctor was running through all the developmental questions, there were several things she has surpassed early and then others that she is way behind on. The big one that she is behind on is still language. Can she say more than 50 words? "Nope- not even close". Does she primarily speak in at least 2-word sentences? "Nope, never". As usual, our pediatrician is not concerned. He thinks she is fine because she understands everything. Like walking, she is just taking her sweet time.

Emerson is 2 and I haven't blogged about it yet...
I will write a big birthday party post with lots of pictures when they arrive--no pressure, Amber:) In the meantime I will just tell you that the party was perfect and Emerson had a blast.
Her actual birthday was yesterday and we spent the morning cleaning up the hay from the party and then went to Boo at the Zoo last night. Boo at the Zoo is this really cool event that the Fort Worth Zoo hosts. There is tons of candy, shows, games, pumpkins, animals, rides---oh so much to do. It was a really fun day.
Emy really loved playing in the hay piles

This is actually the last picture of the night at Boo at the Zoo- obviously Cinderella did not last all night long.

The Sun Finally Came Out Today!
The sun finally came out today after weeks (literally) of rain. This evening when daddy came home we went out in the wild (front yard) to pick flowers. It has rained so much recently that the lawn is fully green and has not been mowed in weeks. It looks really nice.

I have nothing to share
Sorry for the lack of posting. As we are moving closer to Emerson's birthday and Halloween, we are getting super busy around here. Anyways, here are some cute pics to tide you all over until I have time to post again.
Just some fall cuteness...
