Halloween Pics, etc

I've been seriously slacking with my blog!  Sorry!  Here are some pictures until I have time to write more!

My great-nephew, Logan the Giraffe

The Monkey didn't want the Giraffe touching her!

But, the Giraffe wasn't taking NO for an answer!

He was determined to give the Monkey a kiss!

Dada to the rescue!

You stay on your side & I'll stay on mine!

Daddy & Addy

Addy's 18 month well-visit

24lbs 6oz, 31 1/2 inches long

She's still in the 50th percentile on the growth chart & doing great. Well, if those teeth would give her a break she would be doing better! She had a low-grade temp yesterday & this morning, but dr said no other symptoms, so she was about to get the 2 scheduled vaccinations (IPV & Hep A). Her next well-visit won't be until she turns 2, unless she's sick. At that time she will get her last vaccine (Hep A) until she starts school. Eeek...school! NOOOO!

I'm going to wake her up now from her 3 hour nap! Usually, she is like a clock & wakes exactly ONE hour from her nap! Guess that appt this morning wore her out :(

Happy 18 Month Birthday Addy

Addy is 18 months old today! It seems in just the last week her vocabulary & personality have exploded! She's expressing herself very well through signing, talking & acting. I don't have to guess what she wants/needs as much as before.

Yesterday, we went to the Pumpkin Patch for Addy to pick her own pumpkin. While there we also took a million pictures! Here are a few:

















Addy is doing great at MDO! She didn't cry at all last week when I dropped her off or picked her up! I'm thrilled that she's doing so well.

There are few paci's in Addy's toy box that she chews on sometimes. She has never been a big fan of the paci, so I figured it was fine to let her just play with them. The other day she started saying "noonie" (I have no idea how to spell it) & began digging through her toys. Finally she pulled out a paci & kept saying "noonie, noonie"! Hmmm, where has she heard this word & why is she SO happy to have a noonie? Friday, when I dropped her off at MDO, I asked her teacher & she said ALL of the babies in Addy's room have noonies! Ah ha! That explains it! As soon as I got home - all 'noonies' went in the trash! Nothing against noonies, but I figure we shouldn't get on that train this late in the game.
