Tagen Tidbits...

Tagen is 18 months old already! I'm having somewhat of a hard time believe it. And even though I'm thoroughly enjoying her time in nursery and watching her learn new things every day, there is a tiny part of me that wants to see it slow down.... just a little.
She is still a complete ham and a little bundle of joy.
I recently took her to her 18 month check up where she was treated for yet another ear infection.... (tubes will be coming soon....) She checked out very healthy and on track overall. Here are her stats.

Weight: 24 lbs (75%) Length: 33.6" (95%) Head Circumference: 18 3/4" (50%)

One week after her appointment, she started with another sore in her diaper area like she had in April. We are treating her with the heavy antibiotic, Clindamycin, again. I think we caught it fast enough this time so we won't end up at Primary Children's. Whew! But, even with all that garbage going on, she's still playing hard and enjoying each moment of the day.

A few things she is really into right now is coloring. She REALLY likes to color. She especially likes to color my walls, the floor and her highchair. Thank goodness for Mr. Clean erasers! She loves playing with her big sister, dolls, and sidewalk chalk. She's saying a few words. Her favorites are Mommy, Daddy, baby, bubble, Papa, nose, mouth, Oea (Olivia), Nana (food), Me!, Yay!, and Weeeee! The last two are usually shouted while she's really enjoying what she's doing. She loves watching animals of every kind as long as they aren't directly in her face.

Her favorite foods are craisins, grapes, cheese, bread, frosted mini-spooners, apples, bananas, watermelon,
pumpkin chocolate chip cookies and banana bread muffins.

Missing in Action

My lack of blogging lately is MOSTLY due to this.....................

Yes, I'm pregnant.

I am 12 weeks along and finally feeling like I might be coming out of the 1st trimester "Zombie land." I feel mostly good. No real morning sickness, no throwing up... I'm. just. completely. EXHAUSTED. I haven't been to the doctor yet because my wonderful OB has been out of the country doing humanitarian work. I have my first appointment next week.

So, our little family of four will be increasing in February. My actual due date is Valentine's day. It feels like Déjà vu because that was Tagen's due date also.

So, please forgive me for my lack of blogging both here and on my picture blog.
I'm hoping to have more energy to be able to do more pictures soon.
