The 15 month old Landrie is quite a character. She just had a well visit with a few shots, which as you can guess, she did not love! She is in the 50th percentile for weight and 75th for height.
She is also getting more and more hair...finally, and is saying more and more words. You can tell she understands a lot more lately too. We will all be happier as she builds more vocabulary and uses the screech/scream a lot less to tell us what she wants:)
Besides having those positive milestones, she is also quite a daredevil/risktaker/messmaker. Oh, and she loves her bedtime friend, her sheepie...
Here she is using sheepie as if she is a matador in Mexico, if only he were red and we had a bull for her to tease. Maybe Sammy would be the bull?
Here is some of the risk-taking, not sitting in the chair...standing and climbing, using it as a stepstool. She was up on that table this afternoon!
All of this craziness aside, Landrie sure does love Sammy. She is not saying Sammy very well yet, it is always "PUPPY". Here she is giving him a little hug.
A nice gesture, a smile and why not share your food, right? She is always giving him food, or teases him with it and then he "chases" her around. Really it is just following her, but to a 15 month old, I bet Sammy has some speed skills too:) He does good putting up with the harassment from all three girls.
After seaching and watching Craigslist for the perfect bunkbeds, we found them! A few weekends ago we borrowed Auntie Jamie's truck and headed towards McKinney, Texas to pick them up(north of Dallas). The man selling them had hand made them years ago for his daughters and we love them. They are sturdy and strong and we loved the railings on the top. We got them home and Jed worked very hard sanding, priming and getting a fresh coat of white paint on them. Getting them in the house was probably the biggest part of the job. Anyway, now they are in and the girls have worked out a two night rotation. So far so good!
Here are the girls one morning after sleeping in curlers. They looked like two little Shirly Temples. They truly had big "Texas" hair on that day! All smiles as you can tell.
We recently dusted off the bike and decided to try it out with a passenger. It really did not go over well. Landrie HATES the helmet. I am really quite surprised that we got these pictures because most of the time she was on the bike she was thrashing around trying to yank the helmet off of her head! Oh yeah, did I mention how hard it is to ride a bike with someone flailing about on the back of it?!
I know from these pictures it looks like she really enjoyed herself...she has you all fooled!
