Mmmmm....DIRT!!!!

It was so nice this past week and weekend, that Becky enjoyed playing outside. Her and I spent Friday walking around the yard and up and down the steps waiting for Al to get home from work. Then she discovered the dirt. I decided to let her play in it for a while.

I'm not sure she liked it on her hands very much!

I finally got her to look at the camera. She was pretty proud of herself because....

she had managed to get some in her mouth!

Look, Mom! I'm hungry!

Okay, Becky! Now I've got pictures to embarrass you with in your scrapbook!

I really didn't let her eat dirt forever, I just waited until she put her hand in her mouth one more time. Then we went inside and washed her hands and mouth. It's pretty hard to tell her no, though, when every time she does it, she emphatically says, "Mmmm" and looks at me and dares me to tell her that it's, in fact, not good at all! Gotta love being a parent!

16 months

Hard to believe Becky is 16 months old! She had a doctor's appointment a month ago. I have been super busy and just haven't felt like getting on the computer to do fun stuff after working on transcripts all day! I am finally caught back up, and decided it's time to get back to it! Anyway... all was well at Becky's appointment. She is still at the 50 percentile for weight and 75 percentile for height. Both doctors called her perfect. Can't complain about that!

All has been well in our household. Al is fully recovered from his surgery and has started doing more around the house. Becky is walking all over the place and testing limits. She does not like to be told no. If she is told no, she will likely throw herself on the floor and wail. She will continue doing that until she is picked up and removed from whatever she is told no about. (mainly touching the stove in the kitchen)

We have had some nice, warm days. Becky has been having fun playing outside both at day care and at home.

Well, tried posting pics, but they don't want to post tonight. Brenda has been having trouble with that and has switched to another web site. I will try again in a couple days. My suspicion is that there is just too much activity on the internet this time of night. That should be my cue to go to bed! Will try to post a couple pics this weekend and then be better about updating!
