Emma Kate: 5 Years Old

September 25, 2019 | family

I have been writing these updates for Emma Kate since she was one month old. Then I changed them to every 6 months, and I can’t believe we here, at five years old.

Let’s start with the basic stats. Since we were just at the doctor for a scary allergic reaction rash/hives, I know she weighs 46.5 pounds and is 46.5 inches tall! Not many times in your life where you are the same height as you are weight, ha!

She wears a 5T or a 6 depending, and a size 12-13 shoe, depending. She is taller than everyone in her K4 class at school, too.

She cracks us up on a daily basis. Most recently, the other day she said “mom, sometimes I wear myself out I laugh so much!” She kills me. She is also way too smart for her own good, and thinks ahead of things that I don’t even think about! She is very good with cause and effect and makes decisions based on things that may happen on down the road, so she has some crazy foresight!

She is still fearless and talks to and hugs everyone. I mean everyone. She asks strangers questions and always speaks her mind (much to my dismay!) She also loves, I mean LOVES babies. She is always wanting to hold, pick up, and tickle anyone smaller than her, and she loves being a mother hen to everyone.

She loves her new school and has the sweetest teacher. She is learning a lot, and I think she will be reading in no time! Also, she made a HUGE decision on September 12th, she asked Jesus into her heart, and Bobby and I are so proud of her!

She has also started learning Bible verses and can say John 3:16, Phillipians 4:13, and a couple of others. It’s so fun to watch her memorize things and learn. She enjoys church on Sunday morning and Wednesday nights, and I love that she has friends in so many places.

She loves to go to new places, and this summer she got to go to Pigeon Forge and see mountains for the first time, and we also went to Gulf Shores for a quick beach trip. In April, we went on a family Disney trip that was a lot of fun, too.

We dropped nap last summer, but since switching to this new school, she naps a couple of days a week, which has made bedtime very difficult because she is just not sleepy, but we are working on it. We are also out of pull ups at night (girlfriend sleeps SO hard we were having trouble with nighttime) and she was so proud of herself. I told her if she could go 30 days with no nighttime accidents we would stop using them, and she did it!

She still wakes up a 6 no matter what time she goes to bed, and she still loves to play games and watch videos on the iPad. She is also into legos, still loves “cooking” in her kitchen, and as soon as the weather cools off I know we will be playing outside more and on her bike!

At Dollywood, we realized Emma Kate is a daredevil and loves rides and roller coasters. We had the best day watching her play, laugh, and ride.

She still loves her “sister” Bella, and I was just telling Bobby yesterday how Bella is getting so much better with Emma Kate as EK gets older. She feeds her and gives her treats and pets her very gently and talks sweet to her. It’s so cute!

Currently, Ek wants to be a veterinarian when she grows up. She loves animals and apparently is obsessed with a bunny that is a recent addition to her classroom.

She is still a sore loser, loves to be in charge, and bosses everyone around. She has a sweet spirit though and doesn’t like it when people are mean to others. She asks so. many. questions. and wants to know everything and the way behind everything.

She started taking ballet and tap in August, and it’s so adorable seeing her in her little outfit. I can’t wait until we get to observe their class in November!

Emma Kate eats non stop. Her current favorites are yogurt, ice cream, popcorn, peaches, chicken nuggets, bacon, and apple juice.

I’m still in disbelief we have a five-year-old, it’s just going by way too fast. Bug, we love you big as the sky and know you will do great things this year! Happy Birthday!

I’m not suggesting you go into debt to go on vac I’m not suggesting you go into debt to go on vacation. But I am suggesting you remember that time is something you can’t get back, and memories are something that will stay with you longer than things. 🚢 

As we enter the holiday season, maybe it’s time to consider that long overdue vacation instead of quite so many things under the tree? Maybe a few less items for some time away to rest and recharge with loved ones?

@disneycruiseline is great for just that because they truly have something for everyone, from babies, kids, to adults. The cruise we just went on included beach time, pool time, an obstacle course, lots of eating, basketball, foosball, ping-pong, movie, watching, scavenger hunt finding, pirates (the nice kind!), ice cream, and so much more. ✨🫶🏻 

Always happy to answer questions about the most magical cruise line around!

🚢 A vacation should actually feel like a vacati 🚢 A vacation should actually feel like a vacation right? I hear too many people coming home from vacations with their kids that say they are exhausted and now need another vacation from their vacation. 

This is why I love @disneycruiseline. 💖

They have kids clubs included in the price of your cruise fare* that are open for a lot of the day and late into the night. This allows for adults only time at the adults only pool, restaurants, bars, and nightclubs. Not to mention, the kids absolutely have a blast. Mine never wanted to leave! 🫶🏻

it’s a win-win situation in my book. They get to go have some fun with other kids, and I get to relax and recharge on my vacation, and then we can also spend quality family time together as well! ✨

Send this to someone you are trying to convince to go on a DCL cruise with you! 😏

*included in cruise fare for kids clubs, not the nursery which is an extra charge.

We absolutely love Orange Beach, it’s one of our We absolutely love Orange Beach, it’s one of our favorite places to visit and feels like home. 🫶🏻

There are so many great businesses with employees that make you feel like family. Here are a few we visited over fall break. Be sure to save this for your next visit to the beach! Have you been to any of these places? 🍊 

@coastalorangebeach: Not only a beautiful restaurant right on the gulf with amazing food, drinks, and servers, but also a really great store with amazing merch! We found some great stuff. If you go to the restaurant, ask for J-Mac to be your server and make sure to get a bushwhacker with a peanut butter floater! 😋 

@florabama_olerivergrill : Right on the bama/Florida line, this fun restaurant boasts beautiful sunsets, a fun cocktail menu (the key lime colada was amazing!) and you can even rent pontoon boats and jet skis from the marina, or take a dolphin cruise! 🐬 

@theorangebeachstore : I’ve passed this store 100 times but this was my first time inside and now I’m mad that I have been missing out all this time. They have a beautiful selection of really nice souvenirs from great brand names you already know and love. Great quality clothing and other things like blankets, cup, hats, and candles. I shopped forever! 

@fbyachtclub_ : The Flora Bama Yacht club is also right on the state line on the bay side and has fun live music, a really nice menu including crab claws, hummus, chicken pasta, and key lime pie. Service was great and we loved the live music. 

Thank y’all for having us! ✨
