18 Month Check Up, Evening Guests and Cooler Jammies

We had Makin's 18 month check up today. He did great! Height: 33 3/4 in (85%) (Grew 1 inch in 3 months)
Weight: 27 lbs 1 oz (65%) (Only gained 1/4 lb in 3 mo)
Head: 19 in (55%)
We also need to look into making our first dentist visit, start taking one chewy vitamin each day, and cross our fingers he will start saying his D's by June. If not, we are just going to go ahead and have him evaluated to see what the speech professionals think. Better to get it started early than have to worry about speech when he is older! :) There are free programs that come into your home to work with you, so it will be no problem for us! Other than that he is on track with speech for his age. Woo hoo! :)






There is a park right across the street from the pediatrician, so we went there afterwards and had a great time. So nice to have the happiness of a park to dampen the bummer of a doctors visit!













Tonight was the Hughes date night for the month, so we had lots of fun with Aubrey and Morgan.


The kids loved playing the game with the see-saw swing and ball. Aubrey has a good arm so they are a great team...even got it to the roof a few times! :) Makin had to try it with Morgan too when the big girls took a break. Yes, they are all voting for a BIGGER sandbox! :) After Patrick and Mary got back he played a fun game of Simon Says that had them all laughing. :) Each child took a turn being Simon too, and although Makin just stood watching through everyone else's turn, he marched right up there determined get his turn as Simon as well. :)

Gone are the footsies...perhaps for the season! 80ish degrees and we have the windows open, not to mention the humidity because of all the rain in the forecast! The kids had to have cooler pajamas for the night. So cute! Luckily Makin had a couple pairs from Chase for spring (the sale is this weekend) and Lorelei just used the John Deere shirt from Papa that is a bit too big for now. She was super excited to wear it. Yep, pajamas are on the top of my shopping list! :)
