Well, it's been awhile since I've updated everyone on Emma's life, so here goes. My last update was after her 9 month appointment, and she has had a couple since then. Emma is doing very well!! At her 12 month appointment she weighed 19 pounds, 5 ounces and she was 28.5 inches & at her 15 month appointment she weighed 23 pounds and she was 30.5 inches. She is growing, growing, growing!! She is no longer underweight and she is right in the normal range for height and weight.
She had to get several shots at her 12 month appointment and for once Dave was there to witness it. It was very sad!! But she didn't have to get any at her 15 month appointment so that was nice for Mommy and Emma! :)
She is very healthy except for her eczema that we are still trying to deal with. We've been trying oatmeal baths and lotions but the poor thing can still get very itchy around her ankles. The Dr. gave us some new medicine at her 15 month checkup that seems to have cleared it up. Hopefully it will stay cleared up! We have also been referred to an allergist to find out what she may be allergic to. She seems to have outbreaks every once in awhile and we can't always figure out what it was that bothered her. Hopefully we will get that appointment in soon.
She took her first steps 2 weeks after her 1st birthday and after a couple of months of slowly getting better at it, she is now an expert walker. She has one pair of shoes that can sometimes fall off when we are outside and she gets very upset when that happens. She picks it up and brings it right over to Dave or I to put it back on.
She also finally got some teeth! Her first tooth appeared on September 3 just before she turned 13 months and she now has 3 teeth in with a couple more on the way. She has been enjoying discovering her new chompers and loving being able to eat a few new things.
Emma has been a very healthy child her whole life, but she did finally get her first cold a couple of weeks ago. It was very sad to see her sneeze and sneeze and have snot come shooting out her nose. And for such an active child, it was sad to see her just sitting around. It lasted for several days, but she is doing well now (after passing it onto Mommy & Daddy of course).
She is a wonderful, wonderful girl and we love watching her learn new things. She seems to be learning things at such a rapid pace now. She picks up new words every day and she is becoming quite the little copy cat - we have to watch ourselves a bit more now. ;) She has her next Dr.'s appointment at 18 months and hopefully it won't take me so long to update everyone on how she is doing.
