18 Month Check Up

Click the picture to see a larger version.

This afternoon, CC had her 18 month checkup. She was the perfect little girl while Dr. V examined her. I kept wondering what happened to the "real" CC.

Her stats:

weight - 25 lbs 10 oz
height - 31 1/4 "

head - 19

She's getting to be such a big girl. She decided to "show off" to the doctor that she knew how to put on her socks and shoes all by herself. I think Dr. V was impressed. Also, each time CC goes for her wellness checks, she gets a book. As you all know, she LOVES books. Dr. V asked her to point out items on the page; CC knew them. She's smart like her daddy, I mean mommy. :-)

Auntie Anne's Going Away Party

Today we had a "going away" party for our good friend, Anne. It's a bittersweet time for us; we're happy for her next adventure but sad that she won't be next door.

We had a great turnout. Nutz made his famous tacos and they were delicious as ever. As a "don't forget us" gift, I made a video, A Story of Anne...and her friends, for Anne. I included pictures (and lots of them) of our years (still can't believe we've known each other since 2004).

Goodbye, Vicki!

My good friend, Vicki, is moving to DC! I know, it's not that far! As a celebration of Vicki's new adventure, we (Anne, Vicki, and I) had dinner at The Green Onion; it was DELICIOUS!

Good luck Vicki, we'll miss you!

Great Website for Working Moms

I've shared this before, but Mommy Track'd is really a GREAT website for working moms.

Our New Toy

For Christmas, grandma and grandpa bought the family a WII. See Nutz boxing in the video below...

Family Pictures

While grammy and granny visited last month, we had updated family pictures taken. Thanks Aunt Marcella for reminding mommy to put up our latest family pictures!

Proof of Concept

As you all know, our daughter is making fine progress in communications. Yesterday afternoon Crackerz and I were quizzing Crazy Crumbz on her vocabulary. Can you say, Cow, I love you, sheep, nose etc. Well daddy piped in and said, can you say "fart"? Without missing a beat, Crazy Crumbz stopped what she was doing, looked at daddy, slightly squatted and squeezed out an air biscuit. Daddy laughed for about six minutes! You will have to go to a previous post and read about her first experience doing something similar.

Memory Lane

Do you remember when? Here are the rules...

1. As a comment in my blog, leave a memory that you and I (Crackerz, Nutz, and/or CC) had together. It does not matter if you know me a little or a lot, anything that you remember. If we are only blogging friends or if you're a blog hopper who happens upon my blog regularly...leave a comment. There must be a reason you keep stopping by. Say something! If you don't have a blog or don't know how to sign in, sign up for an account.

2. Next, repost these instructions on your blog (if you have one) and see how many people leave a memory about you. It is actually pretty fun to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I will be sure to write one about you.

Go Gators!

This afternoon, we had a little get together to watch the FL vs FSU game. The game was boring (FL beat FSU) but I had a lot of fun playing with my friend, Ben.

Grandma and Grandpa Visit

Grandma and Grandpa were able to join us for Thanksgiving. It was so nice to have them here (together). It was such a beautiful day yesterday that we walked to the beach and took some pictures.

Thanks for visiting and come back soon!

Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa

While grandma and grandpa were here for Thanksgiving, we decided to celebrate Christmas with them. We picked out our Christmas tree and opened presents. Mommy and daddy let me open my "big' presents that Santa Claus brought early.

Look what grandpa taught me...

Three Pretty Girls

On Thanksgiving, I "snapped" this picture of CC, Stella, and Sofia. Aren't they beautiful? The only one missing is Silvia; she was in her mommy's lap.

Thanksgiving 2008

Happy Thanksgiving! Today we celebrated Thanksgiving with some of our family and friends at Aunt Chris and Uncle Larry's house! The food was delicious and the company was great! We love you!

Behr Baby Shower

Today we hosted a baby shower "party" for our good friends, Chris and Larry. Unfortunately, Larry couldn't be here; his mother was in the hospital. On a postive note, Chris had LOTS of family members from TN and MD.

Enjoy the pictures!

First Snowfall

We had our first snowfall today. Granted, it melted as soon as it hit the ground, car, etc. but it was beautiful!

Growing up...

First off, it is not I who is growing up, I have yet to leave the phase of being a 12 yr old. However, our little girl is getting bigger in more ways than one. I sort of don't want to write this post for fear of jinxing myself, however it is an interesting stage in our daughter's life and needs to be captured. So, now at bed time, our little girl likes to drink a bottle of warm milk; thank you Miss Amy. Usually I would hold our little girl in my arms and rock her, showering her with kisses and serenading her until she drifts off to the land of baby sleep.

Times they are a changing....
Our little girl now "shotguns" this bottle of this liquid sedative and is ready to rock! When she is done drinking, she points to the crib and wants to be placed in it. So, daddy complies with his daughter's request and does exactly that and leaves her to milk-induced dreams. I am sure I will miss holding my little girl in my arms.

November Pictures

Yes, mommy's a little behind in her postings. For some reason, she's been really busy with work since we returned from AZ. Here are some November pictures for you...

Steve Doocy Book Signing

Today, mommy and daddy took me to meet Steve Doocy. He has a new book, Tales from the Dad Side so we purchased a book and had him sign it! He was just as nice in person as he appears to be on his tv show, Fox & Friends.
