15 Month Check-Up

Lakely received a perfect bill of health yesterday for her 15 month well check. I am proud to say that she has been ear infection free since June and currently there is NO talk of tubes!! Yeah! Her lungs sound great too, so we're discontinuing her asthma inhaler, which is a HUGE deal. We had taken her to a specialist back in May and was prescribed an inhaler twice a day since then. We're SO happy for her!

She weighed in at 24lbs. and 31 1/2 inches tall; both in the 75 percentile. She wears 12-18 month clothing and a size 4 toddler shoe. She has 12 teeth (4 are molars), and she loves all food! Her favorite being what ever is on Mommy's plate.

Her hobbies include pushing her doll stroller or lawn mower and it's always a bonus if she rams one of the dogs in the process. She loves going up and down the stairs and showing you where her room is. She enjoys coloring, but digging her nails into the crayons and picking at the crayola wrapper is "the jam." Another fun thing she enjoys is riding the pony in her room. She drags it out from beside her crib and swings that leg around and just rocks and rocks. I think she could do that all day if I let her. (Apparently her Daddy was a big fan of that too when he was little).

She is certainly a social butterfly these days waving at anyone or anything that is facing her direction. She is obsessed with big kids and would truly love an older sibling. (Bless her heart). She gives "hugs" to any kids that will let her. I say "hugs" because she just comes up and lays her head on you for a quick second and then she's done. But it counts!

She babbles ALL day long and loves making herself laugh. The words that are clearly heard include:

Muum = Mom
Daad = Dad
Uh Oh = Uh Oh
Dag = Dog
Mirm = More

Everything else is up for debate!

I'm sure I'm missing loads of Lakely tricks in this report, but she's totally over me being on the computer. More info/pics to come!

Our Social Butterfly

Whether it be at a slow-paced fast food joint or a fast-paced airport, Lakely is bound to make a new friend during her time there! I love it! She talks to everybody now and it couldn't be cuter seeing your child interact with someone of their own "kind."

What a Weekend!

We headed to Atlanta Thursday for our good friends, Jon and Leigh's wedding. Tony was the best man so Lakely and I got to join in on the early wedding festivities. Friday while Tony worked hard helping Jon, Lakely and I visited some family. Our first stop was meeting Nana and Gramma for breakfast. Afterward, we went back to Nana's house so Lakely could ride around in a toy car that used to be mine. Nana has waited 15 long months for Lakely to grow enough to sit and ride in this little car. I have to say it was the cutest thing ever!

We also got to see Memaw and Papaw the following day before the wedding. Papaw had restored an electric Barbie car for Lakely and her cousin Kiley. This was the first time Lakely had been able to ride in it and since she had already been pushed around in Nana's car the day before, she was a pro. She had Papaw all over that driveway!

The Rehearsal dinner on Friday was a Shillings in the Marietta Square. Such a nice dinner and a perfect warm up for Saturday's big event! Jon and Leigh were so excited!

The wedding itself was stunning! It was held in the gardens of the Hilton in Marietta. The flowers were beautiful and the crowd was definitely in "Aww" as Leigh came down the aisle. We had such an amazing time during our visit! Best wishes to the bride and groom! Enjoy Mexico!
