18 months

it's hard to believe this little lady is already 18 months.  we haven't had her 18 month check-up yet, we're still waiting for her records to be transferred.  but, at her follow up appointment last week she weighed 29.9 lbs, and was 31 inches.  31 inches of crazy.  she is a little ball of energy, and creates a path of destruction wherever she goes.  she loves to sing, loves baby dolls, being outside, and her new favorite is watching tv.  (i'm trying not to let her become a couch potato, so i make sure she is pretty active, but still, she loves tv).

she loves gymnastics class.  i'm so glad we signed her up for it, it's so fun to watch, and see her learning new skills.  she also works out with me sometimes.  i was doing some yoga, and she wanted to as well...

 she loves to be outside and explore.  one of her favorite things is to chase the ducks down at the lake.

she's saying more and more, or at least i can understand what she's saying more.  some new things are cup, help, more, apple, cookie, and in the picture below, "wha happ?"

 she is not loving her high chair anymore, i still put her in there most of the time.  but she either puts up a fight, or eats really fast so she can get down.  while we were in houston she loved the little chairs that brittany had for her kids, so i went and got one for her.  she loves it. 

it was a pretty yucky morning on friday, so we had a picnic inside while we watched frozen...she loves this movie!

 i love those overalls, and sadly they are too short.  after i took this picture i had to change her because the buttons kept popping open.  sad day.

we are having fun exploring all the new playgrounds around the area, there are a ton.  she had a blast at the all abilities park that's not far from our house.

we had some visitors this weekend! breann, karen, and lucy came up from houston to spend the afternoon with us on saturday.  it was so much fun.

mae loved it. (you can tell in this picture, she is seriously getting an afro!)

 we love lucy!  mae loves her too.  they had fun together, and i'm so excited for them to be able to grow up knowing each other.

 and mae loves bre! 

 i wish these pictures weren't so blurry, but it's hard taking pictures with babies!

cody got a calling this weekend.  he's working with the 11 year old scouts.  i think he's a little nervous about scouting.  but, he'll be awesome!  and i know those boys will love him.
