Dear Kacie,
September was kind of an exciting month… but not really too exciting!
Your Uncle Jerm was set apart as a missionary and this is the picture we got right after he was set apart. So he was officially a missionary!
That was exciting for us because it meant that the next morning, he was going to come stay with us for a few days!
I have been so sick that it was a huge help to have him here for a few days. And you both loved every second of it!
So one night, you got in the little space between your toys and books and played peek-a-boo with us for like a half hour. It was hilarious because we could totally see you, and you could see us, but you would still jump out and growl at us!
You had your 15 month check up and Uncle Jerm was my personal driver. It was awesome!
At the doctors office, we walked into the play area and you started going towards this space between the shelf and the wall and Uncle Jerm was like "Oh no!" And you started playing peek-a-boo again! Fortunately, it's adorable and made us laugh.
At your one year appointment, you had actually begun to shrink a little from your 9 month appointment. You were 17.8 lbs 28 in long and in the 15th and 17th percentiles!
You did have to get two shots, so we gave you a blue sucker. It's hard to tell in this picture but by the time we got home, your face was blue, your hands were blue and you were patting your knees, so they were blue! And you were just happy, and sticky!
The next day I had an appointment. That one was really exciting because we got two things:
1. We got to see your little sibling! They were bouncing around and waving to us! It was about 3cm long and just the cutest little thing! Unfortunately, the doctor told me I'm not as far as I thought I was. So he changed my due date to April 17th (instead of your grandma's birthday, April 8th).
2. I got medicine. I have mentioned it before, but I have been sooooo sick. It was great to see this baby, but man, was I happy about those meds!
Your Uncle Jerm was again, helpful. He stayed in the lobby with you while your dad and I went back.
On Wednesday, Uncle Jerm woke up with a knot in his tummy and feeling pretty anxious and nervous!
He had to wait all the way until 1:00 in the afternoon to go and it was a long wait!
We made him take some pictures before he went in and then we Skyped grandma Sandra and sent him on his way!
Oh, and he buckled you in every time we got in the car! He loves you a lot!
The next day, I parked myself in the recliner and didn't move for anything!
I also pulled your recliner in the room, turned on a movie and we watched together… for about 5 minutes. Then you got up and played.
But you loved it, you were smiling and giggling and so excited to be like mommy!
One day I could hear you talking and talking for several minutes down the hall. I went to see what you were doing and you were just sitting by our bedroom door reading an Applebees gift card.
Dad let's you wander around at church sometimes. You were climbing on the chairs and waving your finger around. At one point you sat in a chair for about 4 minutes talking, the whole time! Dad said you were teaching him the lesson for the day.
We laugh at how you eat, because you grab handfuls and shove your whole hand in your mouth.
I should have taken a picture, but one day I wore red pants and a gray striped shirt to match you! and then we went to play with Desiree and Gus.
You colored with crayons and actually liked it! Until you ate the crayon, gagged on it, put your whole hand in your mouth and threw up on Dez's carpet (sorry Dez!).
I think we will get you a coloring book soon though!
Then we went outside and you and Gus ran wild in the yard. It was adorable and hilarious. You and Gus always have a great time together!
We love this age, except for the not being able to communicate part! It makes you pretty frustrated and you find yourself crying on the ground a lot. But you can say "pweese," "watsat?" "wow" and your trying to say "datyou!" (please, whats that, wow and thank you), so we are making progress in the speaking area. (but not really). You are better at speaking parcel tongue so dad and I are trying to learn that language.
Dad's favorite thing is that when he goes into the bathroom, you run to the door crying, knock on the door and yell "daaaad! Daaad!" and it's awesome.
We love you so much!!!
Mom and Dad
