14 Months

Alisha says: Jade has really perfected walking this past month and with her newfound movement she is getting more and more mischievous as she tries to climb and get into everything. Even though she is into everything I still call her sweet pea and Dave calls her buhbuh because she is constantly babbling now and says that quite a bit. She will also say ma ma ma and will wave to people and sometimes say bye.

There was a slight scheduling error at the pediatrician and we went in at 14 months for her 15 month checkup. Not really a big deal but they didn't want to do her immunizations early so we have to wait on those.

Weight: 20 pound 1 ounce (50%)
Height: 29 3/4 inches (40%)
Head Circumference: 18 inches (55%)

I failed at taking getting a cute 14 month picture

 I just love when she sits like this, her little feet look so cute!

 We had mini ice cream cones for dessert and she reached right over and took control of the cone and wouldn't give it back. I tried to take it away from her and she kept pushing my hand away and would start crying so we just let her have at it. I should have taken an after picture of the messy face.

Yay! No shots!!

March

Alisha says: March came and went in a hurry although it was just mostly regular life as usual. Dave and I have been trying to get in a bit of fitness to get ready for a big mountain bike event that we are doing at the end of April so I did the Cactus Cup mountain bike race at McDowell for some race miles. It was a 43 mile event on some really fun trails. I raced in the open women category and came out on the top step.

While I was racing Dave was away at a conference in California receiving an Ascending Scholar award. He got a nice plaque that he took into his office before I was able to snap a picture of him with it.

Skye has really improved her skills on both her bike and scooter and likes to ride around the neighborhood which is great because March weather is perfect for daily morning and evening walks around the neighborhood. The kids are always saying funny things as they figure out the world, currently Skye calls the grocery store "Sprouts" "Brussel Sprouts". I must be telling her to "pay attention" a lot because lately she has been telling me to pay attention but for some reason she always adds "don't" to the beginning of the phrase so she is always saying "don't pay attention mom" which is really funny. She still loves to dance and lately has been watching irish dancing on youtube videos.
