15 Months!

Just wanted to give a quick update that last Friday, 04/15/11, Maddie had her 15 month appointment & she is continuing to grow like a little weed! She is now 20.9 lbs and 29 inches! The doctor said she looks great & the "humping" that Maddie likes to do to shopping carts, benches, my leg, pretty much anything she can is "normal" & we just need to deal with it until she is closer to age 2 when we can start telling her is not something we do in public....Maddie has been eating like crazy and I fear we are going to have a junk food junkie on our hands....she just recently had her first bite of chocolate and I think we have created a monster! It is amazing to watch her grow though. She now waves, blows kisses, gives high fives, points at what she wants, walks to her swing and tries to climb into it when she wants to sit in it. She also likes to play peekaboo and will poke her little head out from behind stuff and start laughing, she is really a lot of fun. Earlier today she was reaching in her toy box to try to get a toy and I looked over and all I could see were 2 little feet sticking out of it and Maddie crying...she had reached over too far and fell into the toy box, LOL.

The pregnancy is continuing to go well and Ryan has been kicking harder lately. His due date is exactly 4 months from today!

21 Wks

Last Wednesday, 04/06/11, we had out 20 wk appointment & ultrasound and everything looks great. They had no problem finding all 4 of the chambers of Ryan's heart this time and they said he is measuring a week ahead and everything looks perfect! His heart rate was 143bpm & they estimate his weight at 1 lb 1 oz currently. The dr said I can expect to really "pop" over the next month or so because of how fast he is growing. So far I have gained 14 lbs which is better than what I had gained with Maddie at this point. We are very happy that everything appears to be fine with him and are going to re-paint the kids room this weekend! Maddie is doing great too! Loves her swing outside and has been trying to run, but with not a lot of success. She has gotten her left front top tooth in and the 2 top teeth next to the ones in the very front are starting to come in as well. Right now she has a total of 4 teeth. She will say "uh oh", "mmmmm" when she eats something she likes and something that we cannot quite figure out if it is "thank you" or not. Also, when we take off her shoes we rub her feet & go "ahhh" & she will now say "ahhhh" when we take off her shoes. The other day she was sitting on the floor rubbing her own foot going "ahhh"...it was really cute!

The week before last (3/28-03/31) it was just the two of us because Dan was in Victoria for work, it really made me realize all the "little things" that Dan does that really help out with her. This past weekend we went to Grandpa Fogle's for his 55th birthday & although the pool was too cold to go in it should be warm enough next time we go up there. This weekend we are having an early Easter picnic at the park with Nana & Grandpa Bob & David & Toni & the girls. Ryan's 21 wk stats compared to Maddie's at the same gestational age: Ryan: 20w6d - measuring 22w2d - 1lb 1oz Maddie: 21w?d - measuring 21w4d - 14oz
