Friday fun
I started to build a tower base with you and then left the room to re-warm my coffee. I came back to find this.

Happy Easter!
We had a very full and wonderful Easter weekend. You were able to spend time with both sets of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. What a treat!
On Saturday, I rehearsed Easter music with the choir while Daddy, Mimi, and Grandaddy Smooth took you to the PRUMC egg hunt. There, you met up with Max and Megan to hunt eggs. I hear you had a blast! Daddy was in charge and snapped some wonderful pictures.
On Sunday, you woke up to an Easter basket full of goodies.... some of your eggs were filled with stickers and others with cheerios. You got a new straw cup with Abby and Elmo, an Abby bath book, and a set of wooden play food. The Easter bunny knows you well :) Mimi and Smooth gave you a basket full of goodies as well, including a stuffed duck that you adore! and tools to dig in the dirt (which you've already gotten good use out of!).
I had to be at church very early, since I had to sing at all three services. Grandmommy and Grandaddy helped out tremendously by feeding you breakfast and getting you ready for church. The service was beautiful, as always. We feel so blessed to be back at PRUMC!
After church, Uncle Bob and Aunt Susie hosted a wonderful Easter lunch. We had a fantastic time celebrating Easter and enjoying family time. Lunch was fantastic! You quickly ate pork tenderloin, lima beans and apple sauce before heading upstairs for a much needed nap.
The boys watched The Masters. It was an extra special Masters, since Daddy's friend, Bubba, won. Daddy and Bubba grew up playing golf together.
Before lunch, we snuck a few family pictures in, although you weren't too happy about it. Here are the attempts:

Cloud Dough
I absolutely love Pinterest. In fact, you could say I have a major slight addiction to the site. I have found countless, yummy recipes and loads of activities to do with you. I love Pinterest because they have tons of developmental activities for kids. We've done a lot of sensory activities with you and when I saw Cloud Dough, I knew I had to pin it!
When Max came to visit, I knew both of you would have a blast with it. There are only two ingredients: oil and flour. The dough is a fun texture, very soft and fluffy. It also molds like sand. You two had so much fun playing; however, you had to stop once you started eating the dough. I'm actually surprised you made it a while before tasting it.

Neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt
Last Sunday, we were invited to the neighborhood Easter Egg hunt. Our neighbor, Mrs. Rhonda, was in charge of the event. In preparation for the big hunt, you and Daddy spent an hour and a half in the front yard hiding and finding eggs on Saturday. You were hooked once Daddy showed you how the hunt worked. You literally had 15 little eggs that Daddy would hide. When you found them all, you sat down and counted them with Daddy, and then said "more" and you played over and over until it was time to go inside.
On Sunday, we went over to the clubhouse. When we walked up, the eggs were already hidden for the big hunt. Well, you spotted them right away and immediately wanted to pick them up and put them in your basket. We had to distract you with the petting zoo until it was time to start.
You adored the baby pig and smiled and giggled when you were petting him. I think he liked it too. His little tail was wagging the entire time.
Next up, was the sheep. You were a brave, big girl and approached him all by yourself.
And finally, onto the bunny
When it was time for the big hunt, you could barely contain yourself. You knew the rules and you were ready to run!
This egg hunt had an added bonus... the eggs were filled with wonderful treats. We didn't fill our eggs for the practice hunt.
You were so excited about the little treats inside of your eggs. In fact, when daddy and I were talking to some new friends, you sat down and opened every egg to see what was inside. Parental fail.... we were busy making new friends and although you were sitting on the ground right in front of us, you were busy putting wrapped treats in your mouth. Parents. of. the. year. You were perfectly content and weren't making a peep, since most of the chocolate in said wrapper was squished out into your mouth.
Our big hunt ended with a visit from the Easter Bunny!!! You did great! Even if Daddy did have to hold you.

18 month stats
You had your 18 month appointment with Dr. D this morning. You are a perfectly healthy baby girl! What a blessing!! Unfortunately, I forgot to take a photo :( I'm so bummed! I always remember. Anyway, on to the stats
Weight: 27 lbs (85th percentile)
Height: 32 inches (50th percentile)
You received two shots- DTAP and Polio. You were a brave little girl and only cried until you received your band-aids.
You did extremely well at your appointment, although you did show Dr. D that you weren't too happy when she was taking my attention away from you. You whined while she was talking and when I stopped to ask you what was wrong and what you needed, you went back to being perfectly ok. Oh, what a fun stage. LOL!
Dr. D asked the routine developmental questions. She was pleasantly surprised when I told her you preferred green and orange veggies. She was also impressed that you can ask for songs and books by name. We told her you're learning your ABC's and 123's. She was happy that you could recite them (at least try to). ABC's are "AAAAAA" "BEEEEE" and then you babble in perfect rhythm until you hit "g." Counting generally is "tee-eww" no matter what. You will line things up or put them into piles one-by-one and say "tee-eww" with each count. It's precious. I wanted to record that here since mommy brain must have been in full swing when I left this important milestone out of your 18 month post.
Physically, she commented that you were a very solid and strong little girl. Daddy and I have joked that you'll be a power lifter with some of the objects you can pick up!
