Some Fun Video Clips

Here are a few cute video clips of Lindsey from the last few weeks. One of them Lindsey is being chased around the house by William--but Loving it. Another clip is of Lindsey "sharing" a sucker with her daddy. And the final clip, I am particularly proud of, is of Lindsey putting the four shape blocks into her shape sorter box. Such a big girl. I'm sad to say that Lindsey has a cold right now. We have plans to go to the Dells this weekend with the Scolas. We'll see how that pans out for the poor little baby.

Cute Pics & LINDSEY SAYS "COOKIE!!!"

While my mom and I were out shopping for an Easter dress for Lindsey today she said the word "cookie!" I was soo excited!! We were in the shoe store while she was making a noise that sounded like it and I started saying "cookie" and then she started saying it! We then promptly made our way over to Mrs. Field's and bought her a little, pink, princess cookie--and she kept saying "Cookie!!!!!" She has been saying it all afternoon since she has been home. This is Lindsey's fourth word. She has said other words in the past, but not consistently so we haven't counted them (like mama and dada, sadly). Also part of our shopping fun, and much to Lindsey's delight, Nana bought her an adorable turtle purse that she is running around with in the video. She hasn't let go of it since we got home. Too cute! I can see her playing with that for years to come. Hopefully the cookie won't end up in there. What a great day!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!! To all my family & friends....

Love,

Lindsey

18 Months Old

How time flies! I know I say it frequently, but I still can't believe how big Lindsey is getting and how time has gone so quickly! Among Lindsey's developments, she has 3 words that she uses pretty regularly now: "okay," "keys," and "balloon." She did say "juice"the other night, and both Jason and I heard it, but she hasn't said it since. She was also saying "Boobah" a lot, but hasn't said that one recently either. She is talking more than she used to, but we're still waiting to hear "mama" and "dada" while directing her attention to us. She has also started using the potty more--usually at night before she takes a bath. She had been using the potty a lot before Christmas, but then she got an Elmo bath mat and wanted nothing to do with the potty, and rather stare at Elmo in the bath tub :) Silly girl. It'll be nice when she's out of diapers. She's still doing well with being in a toddler bed. She will occasionally come running into our room at night, and then I'll go and lay her back down--and she usually stays there. I have also tested the peanut and strawberry allergy with her, and everything seems to be fine. She had her first peanut butter and jelly sandwich the other day. She loved the strawberry jelly! Quite messy. She has a lot of teeth now, too. One of her "eye" teeth broke through finally a couple of days ago. She had been quite grumpy because of it. Poor little girl:( Something that we all have to go through. (She has fourteen teeth now!) Hopefully the weather will warm up and all of the snow will melt and then we'll be able to play outside more. I can't wait for that (& Spring!!!)!!!!

A few notes about the pictures: the first is of Lindsey chewing on her daddy's toothbrush...eeewww. It must feel good on her teeth. The second is just of her being silly, the third and fourth are of her posing while laughing at me with the camera, and then the last picture is actually from a couple of days ago, but she is standing on the snow. We have had soooo much snow this winter. Sure keeps us busy, and Lindsey really enjoys playing outside in it :)

Night Out at Chuck E. Cheese's

We went to CEC recently to get the kids out of the house on one of our lovely, cold Wisconsin evenings. Here is some of the fun that ensued.
