Emerson is still in to everything! She loves to pull all the books off the shelves. She's recently learned to open the cupboards and absolutely delights in pulling out everything from every cupboard. 
She loves to chew on vegetables. Cauliflower, broccoli and celery are her favourites. She loves to eat her food. She's still been very slow gaining weight though. I weighed her yesterday and she weighed 17 pounds which was exciting. She has an appointment in two weeks. If she isn't about the 4th percentile in weight they're going to start some metabolic testing to see what's going on. Not that there's anything wrong with the 4th percentile if that's where you started out. But she started in the 80th and dropped and the other two have always been really big for their age, in the 90-100th percentile which is why the doctor is concerned.
Well actually, she loves to chew on everything. Definitely going through the put everything in the mouth stage. She got her first tooth last week and she's also started to wave. She's just started bouncing to music too.
Parker got his hair cut the shortest it's ever been. Shorter than we asked for it to be cut. I don't know why hair people do that. I miss his longer hair, hopefully it grows quickly. We're going to speech therapy 2x/week. His progress hasn't been as fast as I was hoping but apparently it's going as they expected. He's picking up a few new words every week and has started putting 2 words together more often. He recognizes some letters and colours and loves to point those out.
The big news on the Parker front is that he moved to a bed last week. It's gone much better than anticipated. Especially considering he was crying and yelling while I was taking his crib apart. He was trying to put the screws back in as I was taking them out. I was crying too. It was said to say goodbye to our beautiful round crib that Bob made for Kennedy. We loved it! It almost just made me think about how fast the past 5 years have flown by and how soon it's going to be that we won't have any babies in the house. Makes me so sad to think about. Back to Parker, the first night he just got in his bed and went to sleep. I was so relieved. He only got up once in the last week to ask for the light to be turned on. Last night he got out several times so we'll have to see how things go. But overall, a much easier transition than we had with Kennedy. I think waiting until he was 3 was a good idea. Kennedy had just turned 2 when we moved her to her bed and that was a complete disaster.
This is Kennedy's first sentence that she sounded out by herself and wrote all on her own and then illustrated. The only sound I had to help her with was "i". Yesterday she just sat down on her own and wrote a sentence. I'm really enjoying homeschooling her.
On a sadder note, one of our neighbours died unexpectedly last week. This family has been through a lot. They had three sons, one died in a car accident, one died from cancer. The other son lives at home. For the dad and the one son to now have lost their wife/mom as well, I just can't imagine how hard that is for them. Pray for them if you have a moment.
