Saturday with the Grandparents...

I was so excited to find out that my Grandparents were still in town...


This is me around the house these days... just a running blur (thanks for the dress Emerson, it's super cute!)...


We headed to the bookstore where Nana and Pop Pop bought me a puppy book, a puzzle and an Elmo sticker book!


I really warmed up to Nana today...


Daddy and I danced on the stage...


then I took a picture with the Fort men...


after Barnes and Noble we headed to ToysRUs, where I got to ride with Burt & Ernie...


Daddy rode too...


after nap time it was time to cool off (it was in the 103 today)...


Daddy set up my splash pad...


I wasn't too sure at first, but riding the fish was fun...


it has a slide too...


Mom supplied me with some Capri Sun to cool off with...


and dad blew up my baby pool... FUN!


Mommy joined me...


Tonight mommy and daddy went out to Jinbeh while I slept... I'm so glad they got a date night! Thanks for babysitting Nana and Pop Pop!

Paradise Pond & Nana & Pop Pop...

This morning the Lucky 07's met at Paradise Pond...


Look at Madison way up there in the red!!!


Mommy please! (there was no way that mom was going to go get stuck in there)...


Yum, yum... grapes...


Kyle enjoyed the rollercoaster ride...


This was my favorite toy of the day... it was a Dora swing and slide with a little Dora doll...


Kiera and I went down the slide together...


"Wheee..."


This is my new friend Jacob, he just joined our playgroup... we played Dora together...


There was a little Dora high chair too...


Look at me and mommy in our muted stripes... she always laughs when we end up dressed alike because she totally doesn't plan it...


Oh and Miss Delaney was there... she's such a cutie!


I was having a hard time with my dress being too long so mom tucked it into my bloomers... I was MUCH more comfortable!


Peekaboo! The Caterpillar and I have the same facial expression...


Look how much I've grown up since my last two trips there...

December...


November...


Tonight we went to Uncle Julios for dinner...


It was extra special because Nana and Pop Pop were there (yes he's Grandad, but I'm renaming him Pop Pop)...


Mom and I went outside after we finished eating because I wanted to run around...


Happy girl in the 100 degree heat!


How cute is my dress?


When daddy came out he helped me get wet...


So fun!


When we got home we had time to play with Pop Pop and Nana...


Daddy bounced me on the bed...

My new favorite activity!


Nana had fun loving on Maggie...


They have a special bond...


Mom made a special dessert tonight... strawberry shortcake! I didn't want the cake, just the cool whip and strawberries...


Pop Pop and I read a book...


and played "snatch the baby"...


Daddy had to rescue me...


We did get one really great picture final picture. :)


Can't wait to play tomorrow Nana and Grandad!

18 Month Appointment & Little Gym...

My new morning ritual... hanging out on Mommy & Daddy's bed watching Sesame Street and reading books... I think I might be ready for a pillow of my very own. Check out how long my legs are in this picture!


Making funny faces before Little Gym...


I was so excited when class started and I realized Bella was going to be in class with me now!


Baby Pierce came too, but he didn't participate much...


We did the air track today (can't think of the last time we did that)...


Hudson was having fun on it after it was deflated... he is SO full of energy!


I worked on my beam skills (no worries, the extender is on)...


and swinging like a monkey (something I'm not quite grasping yet)...


I don't seem to understand that I have to swing my legs to swing...


Mommy keeps reassuring me that I'll figure it out soon...


It took me the entire class to warm up to my teacher... you know what won me over... playing ball with me!


We got out to the basketball goal today... every time Hudson would make a basket he would say "Score"...


Bella got in on the action too...


through the hoop...


and me too...


Miss Independent... see me back there...


Mommy came over to say hi...


and I decided to give her a cute picture...


after class mommy tried once again to get a good picture of me and Bella...


we just keep trying...



Here are some of our other attempts throughout our friendship...


We did hold hands today...


Aren't we sweet...


This afternoon it was time for my 18 month check-up...

2 weeks old...


3 months old...


6 months old...


12 months old...


15 months old...


18 months old...


I am 32 3/4 inches tall (2 inches taller than my 15 month appointment) - 75th percentile.
I am 22 pounds, 10 ounces (2 pounds heavier than my 15 month appointment) - 25th percentile.
my head circumference is 19 1/4 (just a 1/4 of an inch bigger than my 15 month appointment) - 95th percentile.

Mom was smart and brought my doodlepro again...


and she remembered the brown and pink blanket... not like my 15 month appointment.


I had one shot (my last one until I am 4) and I cried until I started sucking on the sucker...


but I obviously I recovered ok... this was me dancing to "Heartbreaker" tonight with SYTYCD (mom's favorite show)... notice my blinging crocs! As soon as mommy put the rhinestones on, I demanded to wear them and I wore them until bathtime (3 hours!! I never wear shoes in the house)... I love bling!
