Juliette - 16 month (almost 17month)

Again wow how time flies!!!! My baby is almost 17 month. She is growing like a weed and talking up a storm (not quite yet). She is talking. She can say dog, momma, dadda, ball, jack, bubba, hampton, more, shoe, mine, ah (her meaning NO),sshhh, hey, bye, nose, eye and she tries to repeat a lot. She is talking way more then what jackson did at this age. If you ask her what a dog, cat and duck says she can give the correct sound. She can identify head, eyes, nose, ears, hands and feet. She is so smart!!! She is running around ALL the time!!!

She has been sick a lot lately. In the past month we have had the croup, 1 fever virus, a stomach bug and we had are vaccinations! Her nose runs like a drip faucet so the dr has put her on Zyrtec once daily.

Her 15-16 month check up went fine. Her stats are as follows:

Length: 30.25 inches - 50%

Weight: 21lb - 25%

Her weight dropped slightly but that was because she had just gotten over the crop and was not eating (she drop a half pound in a week.) Dr was not concerned but said if she continue to be in the small weight we would have to start something to make her gain weight. She had to have 3 shots that day.

She is happy as a lark when she is playing and running around with Jackson. WOW how they love each other. We have been busy. The yellow outfit (12month size) below was given to Jackson by Gran B and he wore it when he was around 9 month. Well here is Juliette in it and she is 16 month. HAHAHAHA!!

More Soccer

Jackson is doing great in soccer, some days better than others!! Another mother told me that she just loved that Jackson sticks his tongue out when he is kicking a goal. LOL!!!! If you have read the blog you know i have pointed this fact out (him sticking his tongue out). I laugh because it has to be an inherited thing because Jonathan does it also. But I am glad someone noticed beside me that Jackson has this quirky habit! GO JACKSON!!!!!

More Swimming Lessons

Swimming lessons are almost finished. Juliette is finally warming up to it and then we go and start putting her underwater. She doesn't like it and it scares me a little also, LOL! Jackson on the other hand is back to loving it and is a fish.

The first time under!!!

"Is it over YET?"

GGGGOOOOAAAALLLLL!!!!!!!

This past weekend was Jackson first game of the season. We had to have a"PEP" rally for him to encourage him to participate. But once he started he only wanted to "Go Home" three or four times, LOL! Which is a vast improvement over last year. He did score 7 yes 7 goals. He did great. He loved when he had the ball but hated it when someone else has it. He celebrated his goals and got mad when he didn't have it. But all in all he did great. We had several looks because he is taller then almost everyone, hehehehe. I had to bribe him to stay the whole time with an Icee. GOT LOVE SOME ICEE!!!

The series of a goal!

4 out of the 7 goals!

Jackson's cheerleader!!!! she had to get in on action!

Day Out with Thomas

This past weekend we got to spend "The day out with Thomas" We rode Thomas the train and enjoyed several Thomas activities. Jackson LOVED it. Matter of fact he did not want to leave. He throw a fit when it was over, but they were closing and so we had to leave. So we had to tell him that Thomas had to go to Tidsmith Shed to visit his friends Percy and Gordon. Plus he had to go to sleep. That seemed to help but he was still very unhappy and truly broken hearted. So when he woke up the next morning he asked me if Thomas was awake and could we go so him again. That boy has a wonderful memory (when he so chooses.) He has a true obsession with Thomas. I guess better that then a dramatic superhero. But if i had to guess if he ever has a son he will name him Thomas, LOL!!!!!

EASTER

We are blessed enough to be able to go home and enjoy our family. We enjoy spending time with them and the kids enjoy themselves also. We also have PLENTY to eat when we go home also.

The Easter Bunny made his stop at Nanna and Bunk Bunk's house. Bring lots of candy and fun toys. Jackson got a baseball glove, bat, ball, bubbles, thomas the train, and a stuffed bunny. Juliette got a Stuffed bunny, zuzu pet, Alice and Wonderland, bubbles and my little pony. Nanna and Bunk give Jackson a fishing rod and they gave Juliette a purse. GranB and PoppaG gave them Toy Story 2, candy (peeps) and a singing Minnie mouse. So the kids racked up!

We attended church that morning. Enjoyed a great lunch prepared by Nanna. Aunt Angelia hid Easter eggs for the kiddos. Fished with BunBunk. Then we visited with Poppa G, GranB, Mitch and Lindsay. This was all on Easter Day. Lots of fun just really busy.

Dyeing Easter Eggs

Jackson and Juliette both loved dyeing Easter Eggs. Jackson has gotten pretty good. Juliette loves to drop them and watch the splash, to her it is HILARIOUS. Then Nanna made a bunny cake and boy was it good! Plus a made the pics bigger, sorry i didn't realize they wold be hard to see.
