Wow my last update was Emily's 18 month checkup...oh how life zips by!! Em had her 2 year checkup a little over a week ago and here are her current stats:
Height: 35 1/4 in (85th percentile)
Weight: 31 lbs (90th percentile)
Girlfriend is getting big! I was shocked by how much she weighed since she still seems like a little peanut to me. At her checkup, she pretty much cried from the moment we got called back to the exam room until the moment we walked out the door! She was not a happy camper, and fought tooth and nail the whole time. Thank goodness we are off the hook to go back again until her 2 1/2 year checkup next summer.
In other news, 3 days ago was Christmas! We had such a good one this year! Eve and Cole were beside themselves with excitement for pretty much all of December. And even though Em doesn't quite get it yet, she had a blast tearing through wrapping paper that morning. We rotate spending Christmas here in Illinois and travelling back to see Chris' family in Ohio. This year we stayed home, and it was so relaxing to spend the morning lazing around in our pajamas while everyone played with their new stuff. That afternoon, we went to my parent's house and had lots of yummy food and spent time with my family. All in all, it was a good holiday season. But as usual, I am happy that season is over, and am ready for a fresh start with the New Year!
Since I haven't updated on the kids lately (and who knows when I may again!), here we go!
Eve is 7 going on 16 lately! My girl has always been feisty and assertive, but man has it been at a new level lately. I see glimpses of my future when she is a teen and it scares me! :) Seriously though, she is still my sweet and sensitive girl...we just have the occasional attitude problem. I do enjoy that she stands up for herself and is not afraid to express her opinion...both things that I've never been good at. Her current likes include Monster High (still!), Pokémon, ice cream, computer games, drawing, and My Little Pony.
Cole had his birthday last month and is now 6 years old! Gah! How is that possible!? 6 sounds so much older than 5 to me for some reason. He is still the sweetest, happiest, most generous boy ever. Cole could teach a lot of people how to live life. He teaches me on a daily basis. He is rarely without a smile on his face, always lets Eve go first in whatever game they happen to be playing, will give Emily any of his toys she happens to be grabbing away from him, and has such an exuberance for life. His current likes include video games (obsessed!), nerf guns, Cheeze-Its, fruit snacks, bath time, and running around like a maniac!
Emily turned 2 this month! And wow has she been changing and growing! Emily is quickly following in Eve's footsteps, personality-wise. She is strong-willed, talkative, stubborn, and sweet. Poor thing tries so hard to keep up with her 2 older siblings! Since they don't always include her in their playtime, I'm usually her go-to person. Which can be absolutely exhausting! :) She is talking up a storm and saying new words everyday. Em's current likes include her stuffed lambie, dum dum suckers, Sofia the First, Doc McStuffins, pastina with parmesan and butter, and going outside.
Chris and I are so, so blessed with all that we have. This has been a good year, but I predict 2015 will be even better! God bless!
