Emerson is 11 Months Old!



His size:
- 22 pounds
- wears size 4 diaper
- wearing 18-24 month clothes (24) to 2T - he's just been sharing with big brother Sawyer

What he's up to:
- says "Mama", "Hi", "Dada", and "Uh-Oh"; though "Uh-Oh"  and "Mama" are definitely his favorite things to say
- babbles saying gaga, nana and lots of other gibberish; imitates sounds others make; we swear one time it even sounded like he said Ricky!
- he clucks his tongue and whistles
- gives high fives
- he loves to dance
- he walks around the house pushing his walker
- trying to stand up on his own without pulling up on something - he's almost there!
- just after 10 months old he started crawling "normal" as opposed to military style
- he loves taking baths
- he LOVES to play ball! He has a mean right and left arm!

How he's teething:
- holding steady at 8 teeth

What he's eating:
- still on strict diet of only Nutramagen formula
- it is so hard not giving in and giving this boy some food!
- retesting is right around the corner

His health:
-Mommy took a boot camp exercise class and the first day in childcare Emerson contracted Herpangina, more commonly referred to as Hand, Foot, Mouth Disease. This consisted of a very high fever, sores in mouth and throat, full body rash, followed by sores on his face, hands, feet, and legs. The doctor said with Emerson's immune system still being so compromised that we are not to take him to child care or out in large groups, particularly during cold and flu season. She said it is imperative we keep him healthy to avoid another hospitalization. So no more boot camp for mommy for awhile. It looks like we'll have to stick to bike rides and exercising at home at least thru the winter.
- An update will come soon after revisiting the allergist! Praying for good news!
