My Big Girl

I updated on the little peanut, and thought I should update on my big girl too. She went to the doctors for a well child check up 1 week ago. She is far behind on her check ups, so even though she is 17 months old, this was her 15 month check up.

She weighs 28 pounds even, 88th percentile.
She is 33 1/2" tall, 97th percentile.

Big girl, yes. <3 But proportionate. She has 16 teeth right now, 8 on top and 8 on bottom.

At her appointment, the doctor asked me how many words she said. I wasn't sure, so when I left I started gathering a list of the words she said. She has quite the vocabulary. I think I've compiled a fairly accurate list, although I may be missing a few.

Words she says that are understandable and she says on her own:
Yes
Uh-huh
No
More
Please
Thank You
Mommy
Daddy
Mamo
Outside
Doggy
Eyes
Nose (mose)
Ice
Baby
Book
Toes
Papa
Shoes
Cheese
Banana (ana)
Knock Knock (mock mock)
Shh
Duck
Up
This
Two
Oh no! (oh mo!)
Uh oh!
Bow
Bless you [one of my favorites ever!]
Garbage (gar-gar)
Sit
Hi
Bye
Ow
Ball
Mmmm
Hot


Words she says on her own and I understand, but maybe you couldn't:
Mason
Ears
Socks
Bottle
Head
Milk
Amen
Bath
Diaper
All done
All gone
One
Twinkle Twinkle
Excuse Me
I love you
I see you

Words she knows and repeats very well:
Night night
Eggs
A B C D
Whoa
Elbow
Juice
Down
Knees

Words she knows and repeats, but arent so easy to understand:
Amelia
Vincint
Naptime
The end
Brother
Water
Bird
Cat

She also knows what these animals say:
Dog
Cat
Elephant
Fish
Duck

She can also point to all of these body parts:
Eyes
Ears
Nose
Mouth
Tongue
Teeth
Toes
Fingers
Head
Hair

We are working on:
Shoulders
Elbows
Knees



I don't know if any of you care about this, but it's mostly for my record anyways.

Peanut

I realized that before I just wrote that blog entry on the house, I haven't blogged since November!! That is crazy.

The reason is because I usually blog around my pictures. I like to blog to explain what has been going on. I only remember what has been going on and have proof of it from my camera. And it broke several months ago. We are getting ready to buy a new one, and for the last week I have been borrowing my mothers, so I should have updates soon.

But for those of you that catch up on my life through my blog only, I am still due April 30. It's a boy! He does not yet have a name. Christopher and I are having a hard time choosing a name. On Friday, I will be 34 weeks. It is exciting.

I will update more soon!

Around the House

Finally things are happening around the house. We moved in to our cozy little townhouse on August 29th. Not much has happened since then. My poor husband has been so busy. And when he's not busy, he's tired from always being busy.

Last night we finally switched out the dishwasher. Our motivation was that the "new" dishwasher (actually a hand-me-down) was sitting in our backyard. We got a letter from the HOA that we needed to clean out our backyard by Wednesday. Since it's not much of a mess, we assumed they meant the dishwasher. So it happened. YAY! And the old one Christopher loaded in his truck and dropped off at Lowe's. We switched from a black one to white, so we now have all matching appliances in the kitchen.

Also, Saturday night, Erick and Amelia came over after we went out to dinner. Erick helped Christopher move around the kid's bedroom and put our new IKEA dresser up there. So exciting. So we loaded up Emery's old dresser (which actually belongs to my parents) and took it to my parent's house on Sunday.

There is still a lot to do. The ceiling has to be fixed where the shower was leaking months ago, the texture on the ceiling is not yet completely done, the paint needs to be finished in the bathroom, dining room and entry, and bedroom. Paint needs to be started in the kitchen, stairway, upstairs hallway, and upstairs bathroom. Our room needs to be moved around once the paint is done. And the fridge needs to get settled in to where it belongs--it is currently sticking out of it's little area in the kitchen due to the fact that it is too big for the space.

But, we are on our way...
