On Wednesday Lila had her 18 month check-up (about a month late - oh well!) She weighed in at 23 lbs, 2 oz (24th percentile) and she is 2 feet 8 inches tall (48th percentile.) Her noggin is a whopping 47 cm (57th percentile.) She got three shots and had a blood draw, all the while she was hungry and tired since her doctor was running late at the end of the day. Needless to say, it wasn't the most enjoyable visit ever, but she's healthy and strong and that's what matters.
We've been keeping busy over the past few weeks. On Labor Day we headed to a local park for a bluegrass festival and some sightseeing. Lila had a ball leading Daddy around the park.
We enjoyed the sights as well as the sounds. Such a great spot for a concert!
After Lila's appointment on Wednesday, we met up with friends for a picnic dinner. Playtime - and hunting for crab apples - took Lila's mind off of her earlier woes.
Today we had a bunch of errands to run and along the way we stopped in to PetsMart so that Lila could visit all of the animals. This is one of her new favorite things to do. She tried to convince her daddy that she needs a hamster. No dice.
She loved the birds...
She then moved along to choose a fish for herself.
Again, no dice. We're so mean.
Today I broke one of my cardinal rules about grocery shopping with my child - using the tacky, filthy kid carts. We spotted it right away when we walked in the door and Lila's eyes lit up. Ed swabbed it down and Lila hopped in. It was worth it. :) She had a ball!
It has been hot the past few days, but things are supposed to cool down significantly this week. I can't wait! Fall is my favorite time of year. We're looking forward to apples and pumpkins and trick-or-treating!
