Bathtime

Apple loves baths. Today she didn't want to take a bath, but later changed her mind. Everytime I put her in the bath, I say, "No pee-pee. No stinkies." Today, when I put her in she said, "NO STINKY!!!!!!" That's right!

Easter and other

Here's my sweet 1 1/2 year old at Easter! Thanks to my sister for taking the picture, as we forgot our camera!

Apple is so much fun! George and I keep wondering if she was really switched at birth, because we can't figure out how we got a kid that is SO cool! She wants to be outside all the time, and she LOVES going to the park. She runs around, climbs the stairs, and then goes down the slide all by herself! Then she goes to the swing, and we repeat this pattern until I force her to leave. And I do have to FORCE her!

She also loves the library. We always pick out an Arthur book, a Clifford book, and then a miscellaneous book. She then likes to pick out her favorite book, sit in this kid lounge chairs that they have, and read the book out loud to anyone who is near. Then, we read the books at home, at least twice everyday, until we return them for different books!

Her personality emerges more everyday. A new favorite game is to pretend that we have dropped something, and say "Uh-oh" with a concerned look on her face. Then, as we play along, she produces the object with a small on her face! She loves to do this in the car or at the table.

Apple no longer like to eat veggies if they are on the side of something. She will eat salad and any vegetable in a casserole. It's very odd, but that's what we're mainly eating now, because I want her to eat veggies! And ground beef is a new favorite, for a meat.

New baby is very active, and loves to wake me up, or let me know if the body position I am in is acceptable. This is especially true in yoga class! Newbie seems to be just fine! Unfortunately, I have begun to REALLY put on weight, as I am now up to 15 lbs, and I am not fond. I was hoping to have a little longer until I hit the 15 lb mark, but I suppose this is what my body needs to gain. Especially since I work out 6-8 hours a week.

George is doing well. He's starting to look for ways to improve our yard. He has lots of ideas and enthusiasm, but lacks the time. He works long hours, comes home, eats with us, and then, if we're lucky, we have 30 minutes of family time! So, the only time to work on it is on the weekend, and if the weather is bad, then he's out of luck.

Well, my baby is waking up, so I should probably go play with her instead of the computer!
