This has been an animal week around here. First with the petting zoo Friday and then today we went to the zoo. I had a great day with Lillian, Mrs. Britney, and Ms. Mandy.

Yesterday, I went to the doctor for my 15 month checkup. I had to get 2 shots that I wasn't so happy about. I have only gained 7 oz since my 1 year checkup and am now 21lb 3oz, that puts me in the 25th percentile. I have grown 1 1/2 inches and am now 31 inches, putting me in the 7oth percentile. My parents are not surprised that I am on the small size considering their size, but still aren't sure where I get my height from. Maybe I will be a little taller then Mommy one day.

Oak Mountain

Today Daddy was off work so we had a family outing. We went to Oak Mountain. I loved the petting zoo and seeing all the animals. I went baaaa at the sheep and quack quack at everything else even though they don't make that sound. We also went over to the beach and it was my first time in the sand. I had a blast. I really hope we get to go to the real beach this summer. I am just loving this warm weather. Last night we went over to Grandma and Pawpaw's. We had a lot of fun. I had pawpaw laughing so hard he was crying. I can say Pawpaw, Ra Ra (Aunt Robyn), more, drink, milk, and your welcome now also. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

Luckily, I never did get sick. My parents were very relieved.

I have been walking all over the place and actually trying to run sometimes, especially when chasing Dakota. I love going outside now that it is a little warmer. Can't wait for the pool this summer. My top phrases are probably bye bye, see you and here you go. I still say thank you a lot also. I love to try and sing, and was singing in the tub this morning. I was singing to the top of my lungs "BABY, YEAH" and clapping of course. Mommy thought it was funny to style my hair in the tub. You can really tell how long my hair is. We keep debating on getting it cut, but Mom and Dad don't think I will really sit there for someone to cut it. I have been learning to feed myself with utensils. I haven't quite perfected it yet, but Mom and Dad said I am doing pretty good. I go back to the doctor next week, so check back to see how much I have grown.

Feeding myself with a spoon

Oh, forget it my hands are so much easier!

I will hold on to the spoon, but my fingers work just as well

Praying no tummy bug for me!

Now my poor Daddy is sick. They are just praying I don't get it next. Hope everyone else is feeling ok.

Well, Mommy has been really sick. She got a stomach virus this weekend. Dad had to take her to the doctor Sunday and they gave her some medicine to feel better. She said she was scared to get near me because she didn't want me to get sick. I missed her and all her kisses. She is feeling better now, but can't go back to work until Wednesday. She is taking care of me today, but still no kisses. Yesterday, Grandma kept me while Mommy cleaned all the germs out of the house while still feeling bad. Glad Mom is feeling better, but can't wait to get all my hugs and kisses back.

This weekend up until the point Mommy got sick was good. Ms. Diana from D.C came in town and we went to lunch Friday with some other friends. They then went to some tennis games (Davis Cup). Saturday we went to the park and ate lunch with some friends. I had fun with Lillian and Kearstyn. Saturday night I stayed with Grandma and Paw paw while my parents went to dinner with Diana and everyone else. Then Mommy got sick about 1a.m.

I have been walking a whole lot more lately. Yesterday evening, we went outside and I walked around on the grass, driveway, and sidewalk while Daddy pulled weeds. I am still working on my ABC's and now say HIJK. I also have been saying bye bye, see you. I like to try to sing along to music and clap my hands especially in the car. I go back to the doctor in about 2 weeks and can't wait to see how much I have grown.

Weeeeeee!

Look what I just came down!

Who do I look like?

Well, people are always asking and making their own guess on who I look like more. Here is the answer. I look like mom and dad equally. Pretty impressive that I am such an equal combination. Thanks Brooke for the idea, this is pretty neat!

Oh, and just for fun here are the celebrities I look like.

Snow and Lillian's Birthday Party

Today, I woke up to snow outside. It was so much fun to play in with Dakota. We then got to go to Lillian's Birthday Party. My poor Mommy thought the party was Saturday so we drove out there yesterday and then had to go back today for the actual party. It got a little delayed due to the snow, but turned out great. I had so much fun with Lillian and Taylor. Lillian got some really great gifts. Mommy was real tired from working all night and not getting any sleep, but she said she had a blast too.

All bundled up and watching Dakota in the snow

So much fun, "Da" is hilarious

All the girls minus Miss Kearstyn, we missed you.
