Aubrey Update

Aubrey and I visited the doctor this morning for her 15 month appointment.  All continues to look good, minus her not being able to eat dairy.  The doctor was very unconcerned about it, saying that lots of kids can't eat dairy right away, but that she might be able to eat cheese when she's two, then gradually be able to tolerate milk and other dairy products.  Easy for him to say.  He's not cleaning up nasty diapers multiple times a day because something Aubrey ate doesn't agree with her stomach.  I still plan to take her to an allergist to make sure it's just dairy and not some other food allergy also.  That appointment is on Tuesday morning.  Aubrey handled her two shots (HiB and Hep A) like a champ.  Minimal screaming and then she took a nap when we got home.  Gotta love the return of a morning nap!

Stats:
Weight: 21 lbs (20th %-ile)
Height: 30.5 in (51st %-ile)

Happy 4th of July!

15 Months Old

Up close and personal with Aubrey

Ohhhh! She can walk!

(usually with her mouth wide open, must help with balance)

And play in the grass...

And be a little wild!

Check out my curls!

We go to the doctor this Thursday for Aubrey's 15 month check-up, but I'm guessing she's catching up in the percentiles. Now that she's walking, and I've pretty much figured out what she can/cannot eat (basically anything without dairy), she is getting stronger, taller, and filling out. I'll update later in the week with height/weight.

The Best Dads Around

Happy Father's Day to all the Dads/Poppas/Grandpas in our lives. We love you!

Sum, Sum, Summertime!!!

School's Out For The Summer! Woot Woot! Summer has officially begun, and to kick it off, I'm doing....nothing. Kyle is going to the Twins game tonight with his dad while I stay at home with the kids. Not to be left home alone too much, I do get to go out with my girlfriends tomorrow night for some dinner and drinks. Always much needed by the time we can all coordinate schedules.

Plans for the summer? Oh yes. Kyle's aunt e-mailed us to check on free weekends, and I could give her two. The first and second weekend in July. Seriously??? Our summer is already that booked??? Looks like it. No major trips planned, just random things here and there that fill up the calendar. Kyle has two bachelor parties. Little Miss Reese (or Baby Reese as I like to call her) will be turning 1 at the end of July. Can't miss that little peanut's birthday party. Plus some time spent in IL lounging in Nana and Poppa's pool. Add the zoo, splash park, library, and preschool, and you've successfully created a busy summer! Bring on the FUN!

Movin' and Groovin'

Finally!!! Aubrey is FINALLY walking! Yes, she is 14 months old and just taking her first steps. I would have been excited if she had done it two months ago, but now I am ecstatic. Well worth the wait to see her smiling face and hear her giggles as she toddles around.

Road Trip

The kids and I are headed down to Madison this weekend to visit my sister and her family. Aidan has been talking about it for days, so I know he can't wait to get there. Bonus: My mom and dad are coming up Saturday late afternoon to join us for dinner and some quality time with the kids. It's going to be a short trip, but packed with fun!
