Daddy and his canoe

Well, it finally happened after YEARS and YEARS of talking about buying a canoe - Felix's dream finally came true!!!  We have had it for 5 weeks and have taken it out at least  5 times.  The first time I took my camera but was paranoid the whole time so I haven't taken it since.  Felix and Scarlett LOVE being out on the water, I am getting used to it and definitely not as nervous for Scarlett to fall over.  We Usually pack a lunch and find a spot to get out on the side and eat.... It actually has been a lot of fun!

Scarlett - 15 and 16 Months

Sorry I have been MIA lately - with not feeling the greatest the last few weeks and than we had our sweet friends and their three boy visit us for a week things have been crazy! But be prepared to be bombarded with posts over the next week or so :).  I'll start off with Scarlett's Updates

Age:  15 and 16 Months

Stats: According to our scale 22lbs

Clothes:  12-18 months or 18 months.  For the fall and winter clothing I have been getting her 18 months - Old Navy and Baby Gap once again win for the cutest stuff!

Favorite Foods: Apples - not sure if its because she actually LOVES apples or she LOVES to say Apple. this girl will seriously eat everything - including seaweed salad!

Things she says: Too many to count now 45+ - She has started to put 2 words together to form sentences and she will say please if she wants something and Thank you when you hand her something or when she hands you something.  

Activities: She Mastered body parts a lot faster than I thought and moved quickly to animals and the sounds they make; I would say she knows about 12 consistently. I also have started pointing out different shapes to her, so far we have circle and square down.  Next I'll probably start pointing out colors - I see colored themed lunches in the near future ;).

Favorite Things:  By far her books, she will ask me to read her books all day long! I am about to order her some fall/halloween books for her - I figured since I am about to decorate for fall I should get her in the mood too!

My Favorite thing she does: When she runs up to me and says "Up Pease" or maybe when she stands at the refrigerator and says "cheese pease"

Daddy's Favorite thing she does:  When she unties his shoes when he gets home from work so he can take them off.
