18th Month Appointment…

Finally, we took Mia for her 18 month get well visit. She gained weight and she did grow.

weight 21 lb 8 oz (10%)
length 32 3/4 in (75%)
head circ 18 1/4 (40%)

Still tall and lean. Doing well. Only concern (but a only a little): she is not really saying much. The only words she really says are Mama, Papa, Hi, Bye, Stop it, ta-da, Go, (Die)go, No. We are just going to keep an ear on her vocabulary for the next six months. But she does a lot of baby talk and she points and stuff so not a big worry at the moment.

She got three shots. I missed them this time around because I had to run to the washroom so by the time I got back, it was over. Poor kiddo.

She goes back in 6 months.

And earlier in the day, she had her first dentist’s appointment which did not go well. Eric had to hold her legs with his legs, wrap his arm around her arms and had to use his free arm to help keep her head from moving while her teeth were being cleaned. She cried for the whole exam. I am so glad I wasn’t there. I think I would have freaked. BUT she did not have any cavities which was worth the visit. She just had a lot of build up. She did get a Dora sticker. :)

I think she goes back to the dentist in 6 months.

And Diego did go to the dentist as well. Perfect set of teeth. Perfect patient. Just my perfect little guy. (Couldn’t help adding that since this post is more about Mia than Diego.)

Cub Family…

Cub Family

We went to Wrigley Field for the first time this year (hopefully not the last). It was Mia’s first trip there.

It was Cubs vs Pirates. Unfortunately, they lost 4-3 but they almost rallied at the end. We had a good time anyway. Mia was very good and so was Diego. Of course by the 7th inning, they started: Diego was like “when is it over?” and Mia was missing her nap so she started to get cranky. But we all survived the game and we all left happy. It did help that it was Build-A-Bear Day. The bears were adorable as always.

And yeah, Mia took her nap. About two hours worth. :)

Softball Widow…

And it begins. Again. Tuesday night softball league starts today. It ends somewhere in August. Wheeeeee!

ETA: Game was cancelled tonight. It was/has been raining since last night so the fields are probably mush. I guess my widow status will wait another week. :P

Happy Mama’s Day…

I had a wonderful day. See?

Happy Mama's Day!

Diego made me a jewelery box and a bracelet at school. He also made me a card. Love it and it made me tear up. I also got an Edible Arrangement from Mia & Diego. Yummy! I <3 them plus I get to share with my peeps.

After opening my gifts, we went to eat a Stanley’s. They have a great brunch on Sunday’s. They had made-to-order omelets, fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, buscuits and gravy, waffles, fruit toppings, sausage, bacon, mmmm I could just go on but now I am hungry. :lol:

I hope everyone had a great Mother’s Day. Smooches!
