Hattie Girl turned 18 months at the end of September. Time has flown by faster and faster with each child. It's crazy that she'll be hitting the 2 year mark before long! She is such a little love muffin and loves to snuggle and give both Eskimo and regular kisses to you. When she does, there's usually a loud MUAH that goes along with it. She's the most laid-back baby that I've ever known, but I guess being the baby of 4 will do that to you. At 18 months, Hattie:
-weighs 22 lbs, 15 oz (30th percentile)
-is 30.25" (15th percentile)
-has a head circumference of 46.3 cm (44th percentile)
-finally moved up to size 5 diapers
-wears 18 to 24 month clothes, depending on how it's made
-sleeps from about 7:30 pm to 7:30 am on the weekends and during the week, it's whenever she can get to sleep (depending on practices and game for the boys) until 7:00 am when I wake her up
-takes about a 2.5 - 3 hour nap daily
-has 11 teeth (finally!)
-is in the Toddler 2 room at school
-still clings to that paci (she chooses which one she wants everyday and when she goes to sleep at night)
-is starting to cling to her "baby" (exactly what Nixon used to call his lovey too)
-loves shoes!
-loves to dance..she does it every time you turn the music on
Hattie is such a great balance to our family. She's definitely a true baby of the family and gets spoiled by everyone..especially her brothers and sister. Hattie May, I love you much and couldn't imagine our family without you in it!
It's hard to believe that my little Butterbean is 7 years old already! He still loves life more than anyone I know. There's really not much that will take a smile off of his face. We finally convinced him to play a sport this fall. He chose flag football as his first team sport and he did really good. He learned a lot just in the couple of months that they were playing. I was hoping that would convince him to play more sports, but so far it's a no-go. He is not very competitive and would rather just play with his toys or friends than to be on a team. And that's perfectly fine with me, but I am glad that he at least had the "team experience" at least once. At 7 years old, Nixon:
-is 48 lbs (7th percentile)
-is 47" tall (25th percentile)
-wears size 7 or 8 clothes (youth small works in shirts, but the pants are always long on him!)
-wears a size 13.5 or 1 shoe depending on the brand
-still loves to play with Ninja turtles, power rangers or any action figure he can find. He has the best imagination and doesn't have to have anyone playing with him to have a good time
-is in 1st grade
-is learning to read so well this year. He got the basics last year, but I'm starting to notice he can read road signs or billboards now if he really tries
-loves to dance
-has neon green and black as his favorite colors
-never meets a stranger. Everyone quickly becomes his best friend
-is usually not a morning person and he gets really mad if Landon sleeps through the alarm in the morning
Nixon is definitely one of those kids that will make you slow down in life. He doesn't do anything in a hurry but with a love for life like he has, it's hard to stay mad at that little face!
