16 Months!

Mmm, Cheetos!

Yep (one of my new favorite words), I turned 16 months on Wednesday. With that came a doctor check-up. I was suppose to go in for 15 months, but with all the moving and settling in I postponed it. I am 33 inches (95%ile), 22.5 lbs (33%), and my head is 46 cm (44%ile). Thank you extended family for my height... I obviously didn't get that from Momma and Dadda :) I am also finally feeling a little better, except for this cough I've developed. The Doc thinks it is a virus and tells me that it is going around right now so I guess I just have to hang in there. (BTW, we LOVE our new Pediatrician!!)

Mommy and Maddy.

Daycare was a little better this week. I seemed to be a bit more active and Mommy learned about some really tough stuff going on with the director there, possibly throwing the staff off. If I didn't mention it before, my daycare is church based. It is smaller and they are very close knit with most of the employees being church members. Having said that, we also interviewed at a home-based daycare this week. It is actually a wife of one of Daddy's co-workers. She is very nice and all her kids are in the 2 year-old range. There are only 6 kids. She runs it like a preschool with activities including art, gross motor, fine motor, Kinder-music, outside time, and more! Unfortunately, like any daycare, Mommy has some adjusting to do with time schedules and still is getting used to someone else taking care of me so much. We are working together on this though. So it looks like we will be making a big change April 26th. Mommy says I will learn so much more at the new daycare.

The ladybug was cool, but putting rocks on it and throwing them was fun too!

Finally, the most exciting news of the week... our great friends The King Family visited for the weekend. They were in Texas visiting family and made time for us this weekend before heading back to SD! I had so much fun playing with Alex and Eva and the weather turned out Beautiful - in fact, the nicest and warmest we've had since being in Texas! We made time for a little shopping and the zoo too!

Alex and the Ladybug.

Eva! How adorable (I forgot how easy it is to photo a non-moving child :)

The girls.

The Daddy's and their first-born ;-)

Other than getting over being sick, I have also been waking with inconsolable crying the last few nights. Crazy. Mommy can't figure out what is wrong or how to calm me down with out time and patience... anybody have any ideas to this? I've heard of night-terrors, but know nothing about them? Maybe a little separation anxiety with daycare? Dunno....

Finally we leave you with a short video this week. After the Kings left today, I found Maddy in their room looking for them. We carried on a brief conversation before she was ready to move on... to the closet :)

Love to you all!
