Kayla and Colin both had doctor appointments on Friday and they went very well, minus shots for the both of them. At 18 months, Colin weighs 20 pounds, 15 oz (2%) and is 32 inches tall (47%). The doctor had no issue with him being small, since he eats as well as an 18mo old should and seems very healthy. She was very impressed with all the words he was speaking and she wasn't even going to ask if he could speak a dozen words, since he already had done so in the short time there. Some new words for him are play, up, down, c'm on (then takes your hand to lead you somewhere, come on!), get, crack (cracker), and small sentences (hi mama, bye bye meow). A year ago, we were just finding out Kayla had a heart murmur, and as it turns out, so does Colin! But the doctor is not at all worried and says it will go away on its own. Colin only (only!) had two shots and was very good with them.
Kayla on the other hand had five! Granted, one was for flu (which lasted a whole two days). She did not take them so well and cried all the way from the doctor's to school. She cheered up at school when she saw her friends and wanted to show off all of her bandaids. Kayla weighs 32 pounds, 7 oz (27%) and is 40 inches tall (45%). Her heart murmur has completely gone away, and she had a great visit minus the shots.
Colin also has this thing he does when he's looking for something, usually his shoes. It's similar to the look below but with his hands out saying, "I dunno." Where are your shoes? I dunno??
Back when it was nice out, Colin's daycare provider took him to Busy Barns with our camera and came back with some great shots. He just loooves animals and is really good at making animal sounds. His favorite farm animals that day were the goats.
The other goats look jealous.
Yea, I don't know about this. Can we go back to the goats?
Kayla has gotten past her fear of Colin pooping in the tubby, so they have started taking tubbys together again. Makes for some great butt shots.
Kayla's preschool had a Halloween party, and Kayla decided to dress up as a butterfly this time and not the princess. She makes one cute butterfly with red shoes!
Kayla's preschool also had a fall concert, which was a blast to see. Colin was very well-behaved which meant we actually got to enjoy Kayla perform. She looks nervous in this photo, but trust me, there were times you could hear singing above all the other kids. And if you missed it, just ask her for your own private concert. She'll gladly sing one for you.
Happy birthday Kayla! Our first of four birthday parties. She even let Colin help blow out the candles.
CAKE!!!
A baby! She got many babies for her birthday since that was all she wanted. She loves them all and sleeps with a different one each night.
Splash! We went to the Dells again for Kayla's birthday. Kayla again loved the slides and tube rides. Colin enjoyed the slides as well and chillin' on the lazy river. I got brave and took him on a tube slide with me and I'm pretty sure he had fun since he didn't cry during the ride or afterwards. I would have loved to see his face as we were going down though.
Kayla was pretty brave this year in that not only did she insist on going down all the slides by herself, but she even went down them backwards!
Also at the hotel was an arcade. Kayla played quite a few of the games and this one was one of her favorites.
Colin got up pretty early, so Daddy and Colin did what they usually do on trips, go on a hike!
And in case you were wondering why Colin isn't in more of these photos, this is why.... The second he sees a camera he goes from being super cute to I WANT.
Happy birthday my little pig-tailed girl!
Happy fall!
Be prepared for the cutest drawing ever. This is Kayla's drawing of her family including the cats, bunny, and gecko. I just about had tears in my eyes when I saw it since she has never drawn her family at home and I still can't get her to do it. But there it is, hanging up at school. This picture is getting framed and hung up when it gets home. : )
