| Crazy after-bath hair |
Weight: 22 pounds, 9 ounces (Finally only in the 95th percentile... evening out!)
Height: 27.5 inches (50th percentile)
Wearing: size 4 diapers, mostly 12 month clothes. Just bought her an 18-month bathing suit though, as it looked so tiny! I swear Carter's clothes are essentially useless (but so cute!) because after just a few washes I feel like they are so small! She is not growing that fast.
Likes: big people food! Has basically loved every single thing she's had so far (ranging from baby food purees to chunks of fruits, cheerios, puffs, goldfish (haha) - she only turned down avocado - not that she wouldn't eat it, she just made faces and stopped opening her mouth. Again, kids are SO different as avocado was Anna's favorite! Loves pulling glasses off your face. Loves waving. Loves giving high fives. Loves the bath. Pretty much loves everyone and everything. The happiest baby on earth.
Dislikes: when Mommy walks away from her.
Has been really chatting up a storm lately. Ya ya ya ya ya. Da Da Da. Oh well, I thought I could get at least ONE kid to say Mama first, but I guess I'll just have to settle for being #1 ;)
We are so happy about the start of official spring and gorgeous weather. Getting out to different parks, going on long walks, enjoying the sunshine and fresh air. Allie loves it and is such a trooper. If we go to the park and Anna is running around like crazy... I mean, WHEN we go to the park and Anna is running like crazy, I put Allie in the carrier and she is happy as a clam - can see everything, feel the breeze on her face and she is snuggled up near me. We have a great time. I say this now as she isn't very mobile, but I know once she wants DOWN DOWN DOWN it will be a different story. Climbing through wood chips and dirt will be next on the agenda. God I forgot how annoying daily baths were, and now made even worse with 2 kids - slathered with sunscreen and 1 covered in sweat and dirt make it necessary. Sigh. We'll miss this in November. Until then, I'll have a tub with a perpetual dirt ring around it.
Doug is off now until June 1 - taking his next series of paternity leave time off and we are SO excited to have him home! The weather is set to be beautiful and I want to take Anna to the zoo one day, among other little fun things. I LOVE his job for this reason! He still has 2 more weeks to take before Allie's 1st birthday, what a treat for all of us!
After today's doctor visit, Allie doesn't have another check up until 1 year! I can't believe I'm already making her 1 year well visit. Where does the time go??
And just for laughs... here's some of the behind the scenes the day I tried to take Allie's pics. It was bath time and Anna was having a blast.
