18 Months!

I can't believe Caylin is already 18 months! She has such a cute personality, and talks like crazy. The other day she came into the kitchen with my purse on her arm, then turned around and said "Bye, see ya!!!" I asked her where she was going, and she said "Party!" She is so much fun and really keeps me on my toes.

Today we went in for her 18 month check up, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that she was climbing the charts just fine. She weighs 21 lbs 8 oz. (11%) and is 31.1 inches (34%). Her head, however was in the 92nd percentile!

Caylin went to nursery yesterday for the first time! I was a little worried that she would have a hard time, so I was planning on sitting in there with her for a least a little bit. As soon as I opened the door and she saw the other kids playing with all the new and exciting toys, she was off. She didn't even bother to say goodbye! I'm glad that went better than expected, and it was wierd to sit in class and not have to worry about entertaining anyone!
My big girl!

1. I have a major sweet tooth, and nothing is more tempting to me than peanut m&m's. I have found that out more and more the last week because I broke down and bought some for Halloween, but I have ended up eating almost all of them by myself already. I try not to keep them in the house for that very reason, and the scale has not been my friend since I bought them!
2. I love to watch America's Best Dance Crew. I secretly wish I could dance like them, but I have little hope for that one.
3. I love thunder and lightning. When I was younger we lived with my grandparents for a year or so and for some reason I remember there being thunder and lightning nearly every night that summer. I would sit outside on their front porch for the longest time just watching and listening and smelling the rain.
4. I love pumpkin; anything pumpkin - pumpkin soup, cookies, bread, I even love the smell of the Jack-O-Lanterns when you put the candles in them and they get slightly burned.
5. I hate people who either don't use their turn signals or make a wrong turn or miss a turn and then do a really stupid move to try and correct themselves, whether it means cutting someone else off and looking like a real idiot or not. Hopefully that made at least some sense, but in general, I just hate stupid drivers!
6. I have to shower with rubber gloves on because of the eczema on my hands. The wierd thing now is that it feels strange to shower without them on!

The Fair

This past week we went to the Fair with Colby's family. It wouldn't be the start of fall without a trip to the good old Fair! It is a family tradition of Colby's family that I love, especially now that Caylin is old enough to enjoy it as well! She had so much fun seeing all the animals and rides, and especially loved the display of antique tractors (honestly, I don't know why she is so obsessed with tractors, airplanes, helicoptors, fire trucks, ambulances, and motorcycles, but then again, I was quite a tomboy as a child as well!) Thanks Papa Fred and Grandma Jill for a fun night at the Fair, minus the bout of food poisoning or something that Colby picked up and is still trying to completely recuperate from!

she loved the pony ride!
what would a trip to the Fair be without a ride or two on the giant yellow slide? Caylin kept telling me no the whole way up the stairs, but once we went down, she kept yelling "again!" She loved it!

What's new

Not much. We have been pretty boring, and I have just been lazy about posting anything new. Sorry to disappoint! We did, however, go to Fruitland with Colby's family over Labor Day weekend. It was a nice getaway, despite a couple of power outages and downpours!
