Hope 18 month doctor visit


I took Hope in for her 18 month check up, last week.  Se loved it until they gave her her immunizations.  She cried for about 10 seconds and then the nurse gave her a sucker.  Tears stopped and she was happy again.

She feel asleep on the way home and took a good nap. Of course she was cranky for a few days and complained about her legs.  Tetanus shots hurt, I know!!!

 She weighs to much for the baby scale, now.  So she stood on the big people scale and jumped off of it before I could snap a picture.  She weighs 27.1 pounds.(83%)


Is 33.5 inches tall(90%)

Head is 19.3 inches (95%)

She is slowing down in height an weight was is good because I was afraid she was going to be over 6 feet tall the way she was growing.

She does have big feet for her age.  She already wears a size 5.

The newest words she says...batteries, chair, Are you done?  It's mine,  and lots more.

Hope hasn't slept in her bed for a few weeks.  She just decided that she didn't like it.  So she has been sleeping on the floor in her room.  We finally pulled the toddler bed out of storage and washed it up.  She now sleeps in the toddler bed and loves it.

April fools!!

Yum, cupcakes.  I served these for dinner last night as an April fools joke.  I didn't dare do it today because Friday is pizza day.  The kids came to the table and all commented on cupcakes for dinner, What? Why? What else are we having?  I told them to look closer.  Why are there chives on my frosting?  I told them to taste it.  The then figured out that it was mashed potatoes and meatloaf. Parker wouldn't eat the blue potatoes, they just looked so wrong.
I got this idea from a friends blog and just had to try it.  I don't do a lot of April fools jokes but I couldn't pass on this one.

Also, Aliens visited our house or at least it looks like it.
Our trampoline was upside down on the grass all winter long.  This was so it didn't blow away while it wasn't being used.  Braden and I went out and flipped it over and pt legs back on it.  This is what the grass looks like underneath it.
What to play an April fools joke on your kids...come on down.
