Listen To Me Hayden

When we went to St. Louis, we decided to make it a long weekend trip. We left on Thursday afternoon and came home on Sunday.

One morning while we were getting ready, Hayden climbed up in one of the chairs and was watching all that was going on.

Lily had to climb up there and sit with him. She kept "talking" and "talking" to him. Finally, she was jabbering so much that he just got down. I'm not sure what she had on her mind but it must have been something very important that she had to share with her big brother.

St. Louis Science Center

The end of June we went to St. Louis for a long weekend. While there, we went to the Science Center. It was a fun Friday!!

16 Months Old

This little cutie-pie turned 16 months old yesterday.

He's some facts about Lily at the moment:

-Wearing size 4 diapers.

-Wearing size 18 and 24 month clothes.

-Wearing a size 4 shoe.

-Wants to climb on EVERYTHING.

-Loves strawberries, grapes, mac-n-cheese, apple juice and vanilla wafers.

-Likes to dance.

-Is a little flirt. She will lower her head and look at you real shy through her eyelashes.

-Gives kisses all the time.

-Will growl when something doesn't go her way. Also, if Hayden takes something from her she will let out this loud scream.

-Likes to do Itsy-Bitsy Spider and the Wheels on the Bus song.

Two Little Monkeys...

Two little monkeys jumping on the bed...one fell off and bumped their head...momma called the doctor and the doctor said...that's what you get for jumping on the bed. (Yes, one did fall off too)

My Sweeties

Growing

Yesterday we took Lily to the Pediatrician for her 15 month check up. She's doing very well and he was surprised at her speech. She's starting to say more and more words.

She got two shots. One in her arm and one in her thigh. I was anticipating her crying. Daddy came with us and he was all prepared too. She didn't even let out a whimper. We were all shocked!! But she did have a rough afternoon. She was running a low grade fever and a fussy girl.

Here's her statistics:

Weight - 22 lbs. 6 oz. (43% on the growth chart)

Height - 32 inches (87% on the growth chart)

She's GROWING and GROWING!! Also, don't you just love her swimsuit?

"The Littles"

This picture literally cracks me up laughing. It's so Hayden and Lily these days.

They were in our bedroom at the foot of the bed. I keep a laundry basket down there and Lily likes to push it around the room or toss clothes out of it. As you can tell Hayden was letting her know that she shouldn't be doing that.

They communicate to each other more and more but Hayden is the typical big brother. He's only 2 1/2 years older but he thinks he's the boss of Lily. She is not having it and expresses her feelings very vocally.

Since they are so close in age I refer to them often as the "little ones" or "the littles."
