18 months

Tomorrow I'll be 18 months old. I think that sounds pretty grown up. Since I'm having that birthday, I went to see Dr. Y last week on Thursday so he could see how good I'm doing. We won't get to see him anymore since we're moving to St. Charles. That's kind of sad, because he's a very good doctor for me.

I got on the silly scale again. It said I weighed 18 lbs and 1 oz. 18 pounds and 18 months!

Dr. Y said I really need to try to gain some more, but I think I've got enough on me for now. Otherwise, he said I was doing really good. Miss Courtney gave Mommy a package of all my papers from there, so we can take them to our new doctor.

On Saturday, lots of people came over to help us load up a big truck. It was like people all over and they kept carrying our stuff around. I just stayed out of the way and played by myself. I thought they might accidentally put me on the truck too! Mommy even had to go get another truck so they could load it too!

On Sunday, Daddy and I went to St. Charles earlier than Mommy and Grammy. We went to find our new apartment. I had to show Daddy where it was, because he hadn't ever been there and I had been. When we got there, we had to wait a while for Mommy and Grammy to get there with the trucks, so we played on the floor. My hair got all fuzzy.


We got all our stuff moved into the apartment, and Mommy tried to get a few things put away but we were all tired. Then Monday morning Mommy and I went to Children's to hang out with Sophie and Miss Jen so that they wouldn't be too scared about Sophie's surgery on her eyes. She did really good and was brave like a big girl. There's a story about it on her blog and there's even pictures of me in there! Go check it out!

We came back to Champaign with Sophie and Miss Jen and stayed at their house last night since our house is empty. Today we did lots of errands and went to Toro. I got to play with Miss Martha, and then tonight, while Mommy went to dinner with her friends, I went to Miss Martha's house to play. We had a good time reading books, and I napped on her for a while too. Now it's time for bed. Tomorrow, we will go back to St. Charles to get things all unpacked. Someday, maybe we won't have boxes all over. Mommy says maybe not. I'm just tired of all this driving, and I'm ready to be at our new home.

  5. Happy 18 months!! You are such a big girl, and boy have you grown! Do you know that you are bigger than Gracie was at 18mo., so I have to say I think that is plenty big for a cutie like you. I am so glad that you are starting to get things settled in your new home. Will you tell your mommy Hi for me and let me know when we can come visit? That would be great! Talk to you soon.

Mommy report: Chatty girl

Braska's been just loving her words lately. She's still signing some, mostly when we're in public or around strangers, but she's adding more words all the time. Many of her words are just attempts at the actual word, but that's where we all start, right?!? We're not saying that she'll be giving speeches next month, but we are very proud that she's become such a mimic and that she is loving using so many sounds. We practice often, just running through her words, signs, and tricks. She especially loves to chime in with videos of herself, so I've been working on compiling all her favorites for her to work with. As I was editing this, she was sitting here saying the words over and over. So funny to hear her talking to herself on the screen and loving it. So here's a peek at some clips from our practice session tonight. Some words are more obvious than others. They are all great attempts, though, and we'll celebrate that! Make an on-line

Nebraska meets Indiana

Braska's reaction to meeting the very kind Rory Feek and his beautiful daughter Indy.  I missed the part where Braska said Indy was sooooooooooo cute!  :) Our dream would be a photo showing the two most beautiful "states" together, right?!?  :)
