Not much going on

Not much going on with us this week. We've been hanging out at the house. Uncle Alex came to visit us for a couple days and hung around the house with us. Doodle was very clingy Monday and Tuesday. As in, every time I started to put her down she started screaming, crying big ole tears, and threw herself on the ground. It made for a fun time trying to cook dinner Monday night. No wonder the casserole I made is barely edible. But, she seems to be in a better mood today. Of course, that could be because she's taken over a bag of cheddar cheese rice cakes as her own. This is the second bag I've bought this week. She loves them! She hasn't been great at eating actual food the past couple of days so I'm just happy that she's eating anything at all.

Over the past two weeks or so, Doodle has developed some new skills. One is throwing things. She's got quite an arm on her for someone so small. Just ask Uncle Alex! She beaned him in the kneecap with a block last night and I didn't think he was going to be able to walk for an hour afterward. She also likes to throw anything she's decided she's finished with, such as her dinner, her drink, or her toys. It's a hard habit to break because she's quite fast and takes you by surprise with her throwing. The other skill she's developing is throwing...tantrums. She's started kicking her legs and screaming when she doesn't get her way. What's her favorite thing to scream you ask? "NO, Momma!" Every time she does it, though, all I can think of is that she's using two words together like they asked us about at her 15 month check up. That was the only skill she didn't hit on the checklist but her doctor pointed out that it is expected anywhere from 15 months to something like 22 months. I'm just happy that next week when we go for her 18 month check up we can say that we've reached that milestone, too.

Lastly, Doodle wanted me to say, "Happy birthday to Aunt Katie!" Love ya, leetle seester!
