15 Months & Trip to See Big Jeff

Last week, Nola had her 15 month checkup! Her current stats are Height-301/2 in (50%-down from 65%), Weight 22.4 (45%-up from 40%), and Head Circumference-181/2 in (80%-down from 90%). Nola also got one dose of the flu shot and a DPT dose. We chose to hold off on the MMR until next month along with the second dose of the flu shot.

Nola is at such a fun stage right now! She has us laughing so hard everyday. She loves dancing, singing, and of course, reading, is still her favorite. She understands so many small commands, like "Push your straw down" or "Bring me your shoes." She LOVES to pretend and she copies us all the time. Just tonight she was cleaning the table with a rag. So cute! She has a few words in her vocabulary, her favorite being "Up," but just recently started saying "Uh-Oh!" She says apple, down, and sit and she says beginning sounds of many other words, like "Ba for bannana." She surely keeps us on our toes and we never know what she is going to do next!
Last weekend we took Nola to see the singer Big Jeff at the Morristown Farmers Market, he's like Raffi for us. It was free so Jay agreed to go. Nola had never seen a person sing live, but she seemed to enjoy it. She kept staring at him and smiling, but she doesn't like to stay in one place, so after a little while we walked around the market and bought some veggies for Jay's crockpot meal...to be continued.
It was a gorgeous day and it was really nice spending some family time together. That's always my favorite!

"Ummm...can I have one of those?"

"Okay, maybe I'll just take the bag and you can keep the basket."

This was before we even pulled out of the parking lot. I wish there was sound...ZZZZZZ!

Okay I tried to get some of the trees changing colors for y'all but this does not do it justice AT ALL! It is beautiful here right now. I love the fall and the change of all the leaves. It's gorgeous!

Okay, back to Jay's crockpot meal. Monday he had off and decided to cook a porkchop crockpot stew meal...our neighbors decided to stop by and agreed to stay for dinner so we would have the porchop meal and some soup, but right before dinner our sink backed up...GROSS..it was the worst thing ever. Jay kept shoving the snake thing into all the pipes for 3 hours until he got it. He was determined not to pay for a plumber, but he did it. Needless to say, he didn't get to eat his meal and we spent hours cleaning up black from everywhere...disgusting. I think Jay is going to apply for his plumbing license..watch out Mike. I've been fighting a cold all week and had to take a half day Tuesday to get back on my feet. I refuse to be sick for this weekend. OK enough rambling.

So we are off again....to spend some time with our family in New Orleans. I have been feeling homesick lately and I need to get my fix! Check back for updates from our busy weekend!
