Rowboat

What a busy week we had around here. Lily had a great week at school. She is growing in leaps and bounds, starting to talk more and more, reading to herself (see video proof below) and has gotten even more entertaining and fun to be around.

The highlight of the week had to be her 20 month checkup on Friday. Lily now weighs 27 lbs., 5 oz. and is 33 1/4 inches tall - almost three (or "tree" if she says it) feet tall. That puts her in the 80th and 60th percentiles respectively. The rest of the check up was not as much fun as she proceeded to scream the whole time - no shots, she just did not want to be there. In her defense, we did interrupt her nap to bring her. With this appointment came the doctor's suggestion that we end the age of the pacy. So, since Friday afternoon, Lily has gone cold turkey - so far so good. Nights have not been a problem but naps have been a bit of a battle. If it is possible to be proud of her for a decision she did not make, we are - she is coping well without her security blanket.

Over the weekend we played at the playground and drew many pictures on the cement with chalk and rode around in her car. On Sunday we did the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Walk (or ride in Lil's case) and got some great fresh air. Lily has walking/riding buddies Hayley and Cole.

That is all for now. We just got home from Marcy's birthday celebration -- the big __ - well, not my place to tell. Regardless, Happy Birthday Marcy -- you don't look a day over 33 :). It was Grandma Gail's birthday yesterday so a special Happy Birthday wish to her as well.

Have a good week everyone. Enjoy the pics and video.

At the doctor's.


The mirror inspired her to explore her nose in more detail. I am sure she will appreciate this picture in a few years.
