I am finally on my way...

Happy Summer Everyone!

We have been busy since our last update! The Spring semester has wrapped up and we are looking forward to the summer when Mommy and Daddy's work slows down a little bit.

EASTER
We went to ND for Easter. I was so excited to see Mama, Papa, Auntie Jen, Uncle Jeffrey, Kylie, Keira and my great-grandparents! We had a wonderful time! Can't wait to see everyone in July!

Storybook
In late April, I went to the Step into Storybook event that mommy's volunteer organization was hosting. Daddy said I was a little 'too little' to really enjoy all the event had to offer, but we had fun! There were tons of stations with things to play with. I loved crawling through the tunnel, playing the drums, crawling into the playhouse and getting my new kitty checked out by the doctors. It was lots of fun!

15 Month Check up: I had my 15 month check up in April. Dr. Patten was impressed with all my teeth, especially my 4 big, beautiful molars.

Here are my stats:
Birth - 8 lbs 1/2 oz & 20 1/2 inches long
2 months- 12 lbs & 23 inches long
4 months - 16 lbs 6oz & 25 inches long
6 months - 19 lbs 3 oz. & 27 inches long
9 months - 22 lbs & 28 inches long
12 months - 24 lbs 8 oz & 30.5 inches long
15 months - 26 lbs 6 oz. & 32 inches long*
*Still in the 75th percentile for both height and weight.

Mother's Day: We spent Mother's Day 2011 at the Amana Colony area in Eastern Iowa. We met Grandpa Kevin and Grandma Karen and Great-Grandma Maxine for lunch and to walk around the shops. It was fun, but exhausting.

In mid-May, I finally discovered that I could save my knees some hardships and WALK! I am not fully walking everywhere but I am standing up on my own and walking across the room (only when I want to though)!

In other news: Mommy is wrapping up her course work (only has 1 more class to take this fall). Since May and over the summer, she has been focused on writting her dissertation (which she tell's me is a big word for a very long research paper = 150 pages). Mommy is a little nervous about having enough time for playtime and snuggling with me this summer as she taking 2 classes. I am pretty sure she will make all the time I want. =_)

Look for my next update soon with some exciting photos of my latest adventure!

Love you!
