18 months...can you believe it?

I know that I can't. I have been looking at her in amazement thinking where did the time go?

But yesterday we went to her 18 month check up. She is doing very well, except she really wants nothing to do with laying on the exam table. The moment I set her down on it she starts crying...and my heart just breaks.

But she is now 33 inches tall (90 percentile) and 23.11 pds. (50 percentile). And I did clarify, and that means she is taller than average but she is average weight. I am pretty sure that means she is a typical Nicoll--tall and lanky. :)

Weekend fun

Work has been crazy all week--by all week I mean Monday and Tuesday. Monday I had to run a workshop on campus for new students, and it ended up being larger than anyone anticipated. Than Tuesday I had to MC an event on campus--which went well until the closing when I suddenly said it was 2005. Huh? Where did that come from? :)

So I have not had a chance to update everyone on the weekend fun. My friend and I took our kids to the Salsa Fest in Tempe. It was a blast!! I got to try like 50 different salsas. Some were great. Some I am not sure why those people were in a competition--but to each their own.

My friend and I were not really big fans of paying $7 for burritos, particularly for the kids who were probably not going to eat much anyway, so we went to Chick-fil-a. This was the first time I had taken Danica into Chick-fil-a. We had always gone through the drive-thru, so I knew she loved their food. But I had no idea how much she would love their play area.

She had so much fun that she did not want to stop to eat--which if you know Danica really is a feat. She usually can't wait to eat. She also got to go on her first slide ride with on of my friend's kids and seemed to love it.

And yes I finally had a chance to post a picture. Aren't you all impressed? :)

Crazy Weekend

Danica and I went to Tammy's softball game this weekend. Danica ran and ran and ran. I do not actually know what happened at the game because most of my time was spent watching Danica.

But Danica also had a blast. She found this man hole cover just outside the field that made the greatest sound when she danced on it. And she danced and danced and danced. This I enjoyed because she danced in one place that I could watch from a seat. :)

Hopefully next time my niece Jess will be there too. She can run and run and run after Danica. :)

I promise pictures soon. I have some great ones to share on my phone but I am still figuring out the best way to get them off my phone and onto my computer. :)

Where is your nose?

Danica is learning new things. This week she is learning where her nose is. When you ask her, she smiles and points to her nose.

She however is not learning to let me take pictures any better. I tried for a long time yesterday to get her to do it for the camera but to no avail. I promise to post a picture though if I can get her to do it for the camera. :)
