18 Month Stats

I took Cate in for her 18 month check up today and here are her stats:
Height: 32.5 inches (75%)
Weight: 26 lbs (75%)

I think that it is safe to say that she is taking after Eric with her height. I don't think I was ever in the 75th percentile for anything. The doctor said that she is doing everything that she is supposed to and that she is very healthy.

Chalk

Today was a beautiful day out so Cate and I played in the back yard. She loved to run around in the grass and chase Buddy.


Then we went downstairs to the basement so that she could color with chalk on the chalkboard.

She also acted like the chalk was chapstick and rubbed it all over her lips. She ended up with very pink lips.

Pretty Girl

Yesterday was a very nice and sunny day. Cate was able to wear a skirt and tee shirt for the first time. She loved walking around the front yard and looking at the flowers.

More pictures from my parent's visit

Here are some more pictures from my parent's visit. We had a great time while they were here. Cate really enjoyed having some more people to play with her. Of course their trip went by way too fast.

Mother's Day

My parents came out to visit for a few days. They flew in on Saturday afternoon. For Mother's Day we decided to head into Boston. When we got to Boston the weather looked nice so we just decided to walk around the city. We went to Quincy Market first. Cate loved walking around there. Then we started to head toward Boston Common Park. On the way we stopped for a sandwich. Once we got to the park there were a lot of people there and most of the kids were dressed up like little ducklings. It was so cute. We took Cate down to the pond to see all of the ducks and then we walked through the park a bit. There were four policemen on horses, so Cate stopped to say hello to the horses. After we walked around some more we headed back home. For dinner we went out to a restaurant that was close to home. It was right on the water and the food was wonderful. We all had different types of fresh seafood. We had a great Mother's Day and it is so great to have my parents here.

Pat and Don's Visit

Aunt Pat and Uncle Don came out to visit us for a few days. It was so wonderful to have them here and to show them around. Unfortunately the weather wasn't too great, but we made the best of it. We gave them a tour around Providence, went to the Children's Museum, and went to Newport. We had such a great time and it was sad to see them leave. Here are some pictures of their visit.







Here is a video of Cate feeding Buddy. She loves to feed him and if she had it her way he would eat 10 times a day.
