Saturday Fun

We took advantage of the 75 degree weather today and spent most of the day in our backyard. We planted our flower garden, tomatoes, and aerated the lawn. Madison spent most of the day playing in the fountain and digging in the dirt. Later we had a barbecue at the park with some friends. I love the warmer weather and can't wait to many more barbeque's this summer!

This past week I also took Madi to her 18 month check up. I found out that she had her first ear infection while we were there, otherwise I would have had no idea. She was acting a little fussier than usual, but no enough to make me think anything was wrong. At 18 months she weighs 22 pounds (10-25% percentile) and is 32 inches long (50th percentile). She is really starting to pick up on a lot of words. She will try to mimic most words we say. Some of my favorites are turtle, shoulder, hug, come (meaning follow her), and nope instead of the usual "no." She is also good at folding her arms for prayers and throwing stuff in the garbage, even if it doesn't go there. When she does go by the garbage she pinches her nose and says "stinky." She loves all animals and would play outside all day if I let her. She gets her social skills from her dad and waves and says hi to everyone we pass, even if I am trying to avoid them! She is such a fun playful little girl, she makes us laugh everyday.
