18 Months (and a Giveaway)

By -
Perr Bear is 18 months old this week.


This kid is learning new words every day, and she keeps us laughing with her goofy sense of humor.

At eighteen months, Perry is weighing in at 21 pounds, 13 ounces (40th percentile). She stands at 31 inches tall (25th percentile). To say she's a little peanut is an understatement.

(At eighteen months, Char was 23 pounds, 10 ounces and 31.75 inches tall. Grace was 25 pounds, twelve ounces and 31 inches tall.)


 Perry has all kinds of nicknames. We often call her pipsqueak, because watching her little legs run all over the place is the cutest. She also goes by Perr Bear, Perr Perr, or Grace's favorite, Care Perr. Stink, Boo Boo, and Perry Lou will also send her running in your direction.


Currently, Perr's favorite foods are cheese, any kind of chicken, gummy bears, apple sauce pouches, strawberries, and asparagus. She eats all the time and is constantly asking for "nacks and joosh" (snacks and juice). Perry is so good with a fork and spoon and has been using them for a while now. She eats a bowl of cereal with milk at school every morning for breakfast and has transitioned to whole milk at school during the day. She only nurses at night now, and I'm planing to stop altogether next month in hopes that she'll start sleeping through the night. Her last two canines finally came in, so she's been much better lately, only waking every three hours to nurse and then goes right back to sleep.


This kid talks like she's always known how. She answers "yes" and "no" to questions, copies anything you ask her to say, and speaks in small sentences. She went to throw something away in the pantry and noticed the trash can was gone. She walked around the island, saw it, and said, "Oh, ders tash". She's so smart! She loves to yell "goggie" and say "oof oof" whenever she sees a dog, and she calls every cat "Toodelsh".


Perry loves to play outside and sneaks up onto the trampoline herself if the girls leave the net open. She loves "shides" (slides) and chasing her sisters around as they ride their bikes. Dancing is her favorite, and she bobs her head and bounces up and down to anything that even sounds like music. 


We are having so much fun watching this little girl grow up. She's so silly and always seems to roll her eyes at the perfect time. She loves her sisters more than anyone else, and also fights right in the mix with them now.

Happy Half Birthday, Perry!

(In honor of this milestone, we are giving away a pair of Freshly Picked moccasins on our Instagram today, so keep an eye out for that!)

...Char was sleeping so peacefully Monday morning that I didn't want to wake her up. ...she made me a pretty picture at school with chalk. ...she continued her obsession with the easel and colored (and watched Toy Story ) while waiting for Daddy to get home from work. Hooray for panties! ...it got cold and windy again, but we played outside anyways. Isaac played catch with the neighbor boys, while JJ flew the kite and Char strutted her stuff. ...the girls danced around the living room. There is an iTunes Radio station called 'Frozen Radio' that the girls are crazy about. They play random Disney songs, and we listen to it all.the.time. (After watching this a few times, I realized that Char was trying to sing "friend in" as in "You've Got a Friend In Me".) ...Grace put Charley to bed by tickling her face. ...the girls got cake pops. Yep, for breakfast. ...we got to school a few minute...

Can you believe Grace is nineteen months old? Time flies so much faster when you have a baby! This month she got to go see Dr. Vu for a check-up and didn't even have to get any shots. She was super excited hanging out in the waiting room and even learned how to say "cars": At nineteen months, Grace weighs in at 26 pounds, 4 ounces. This puts her in the seventy-fifth percentile for weight. We absolutely love that she's so squishy. It's makes it much more fun to smother her cheeks with kisses. She is also 31 inches tall. This is in the sixtieth percentile. Baby must have gone through a growth spurt since her last check up, because she was only in the thirtieth percentile back then. This month Grace learned a lot of new words. My favorite is when we say her bedtime prayers and at the end she says, "aaaamennn". It's so precious! She's now obsessed with Elmo and says "Ah Ehmo?" for "Where's Elmo?". She's also go...

Charley turns FIVE!

Char Char, the five year old. That doesn't even seem real. This girl has grown and changed so much over the past couple of months. She's lost her toddler look and is total big girl status these days. (She does still have her chipmunk voice, so at least I can hang on to that.) Charley will be starting Kindergarten soon, and we have her orientation this upcoming weekend. I'm not ready for that. With Grace, I was so excited. Charley still feels like a baby to me. She, on the other hand, cannot wait to join her big sis and the Sebastian boys at school every day. Charley recently had a doctor's appointment where they told her she didn't need any shots, and she was so happy after anticipating them all day. She weighed in at forty pounds and stands forty-four inches tall. She's in the fiftieth percentile for weight and the seventy-fifth for height. She is in size five in almost everything and is wearing a size ten in shoes. Char loves her dresses a...
