Letters to Emerson- ONE YEAR

Emerson 12 Month Stats: 

Weight: 21.5lbs  54th% 

Height:29" 48th%

Clothing: 9-12 months, 12 months, and some 12-18 month clothes. Still seem to have shorter legs than your sisters do, so you can definitely wear smaller pant sizes than tops. This proves to be challenging with footed pajamas because one size is too small for your chubby thighs, but the other is too long and you can't crawl/walk in.

Diapers: Size 4.

Size Shoe: 3

Favorite Toys: You LOVE the Fisher Price doorway and the Fisher Price food truck! You love babies and to push your doll stroller all around.

Favorite Past Time:  You love to dance to Baby Shark. Your favorite shows are Little Baby Bum Nursery Rhymes on Netflix, and Little Baby Bum on YouTube. You love to play with your sisters, and you're always down to eat!

Communication: You can say Mama, Dada, na night (for night night!), ball, go, ya, good, and we are pretty sure you are saying, "Alexa!" because you know that we tell Alexa to play music. It's really funny! You also "give love" to anything soft like a blanket, teddy bear, doll, etc.

Cries: You HATE the car and will whine EHHHHH EHHHHHH EHHHHHH over and over and over again the entire duration of car rides in the afternoons bringing your big sisters to dance. You also will whine the entire time you are in your high chair if you see something else you want, or see that there is still food on a plate that I'm feeding you from. You are either very happy and content, or you are NOT. You whine a lot and it becomes very difficult to manage your sisters, or even having a conversation with daddy. I know this is just a phase, but man, it's challenging at times.

Schedule/Bedtime/Nap time: 

6:30am wake up, bottle of almond milk.

7 breakfast- most school mornings it's a waffle and fruit, if we have more time it's scrambled eggs or oatmeal which you LOVE!
9am nap
11:30am/ noon- 6oz bottle
12:30 lunch- typically leftovers, pasta, fruit, veggies, a pouch, cheese, etc.
1/1:30pm nap for another 90 mins or so.

3pm- 6oz bottle (hit or miss with you)

5pm- dinner. whatever we are having most of the time.

6:30pm- 6oz bottle and lights out

Foods: You typically have a waffle and/or dry cheerios with 1/2 of a banana or strawberries for breakfast.  You love scrambled eggs when I make them for myself late morning (as your lunch), and whatever we are having for dinner you eat. If we are on the go for lunch, which is most days, I'll give you a pouch, some crackers, puffs, or creamies. You love green beans, pasta, broccoli, chicken, steak, corn, rice, etc. You always want dessert when your sisters have it. You are a little chunk, and we love it!
