Pillow

I noticed during nap time today that E was actually sleeping on his toddler pillow.  Mimi got this for him quite a bit ago but he's never really used it.  I'm sitting here watching him on the monitor snuggling with Pengie the penguin and laying that sweet little head on his pillow.  Too cute.

Words, Words, Words

E has so much to say these days.  Just today he said these words for the 1st (ish) time:  Molly, waffle, ice, froggy, etc.  It seems like he's coming up with a new word almost every day.  I'm so proud of my stinker!

Ahhh...Summer!

These are what summer days are made of...completely jam packed with activities yet relaxing at the same time.  Today started off with E's doctor appointment and a trip to the grocery store.  We played and ate lunch, followed by nap time.  Afterward, we geared up for our first trek to the pool.  It was about that time that I realized I didn't have the necessary materials for dinner so we made yet another trip to the grocery store before heading to the pool. 

E absolutely loved the pool.  He spent most of his time climbing up and sliding down the Little Tikes slide placed inside the baby pool.  He was eventually able to do it all by himself and cheered so proudly for his accomplishments. 

My big boy sure was tuckered out by the end of the night with all the day's activities.

18 Month Visit...A month late!

Ethan had his 18 month visit today.  Yes, I realize he's almost (over!) 19 months but I wanted to wait until I was out of school for the summer. 

Weight:  28 lbs. (approx. 75th percentile)
Height:  34.25 inches long (90th percentile!)
Head:  48 cm (60th percentile)

He's right on track where he should be developmentally and the doc thinks he's doing a great job.
