Nineteen Months

 19 Months

• We got more chickens this month. You beg to hold them, but the moment I put them on your lap, you start breathing fast and freaking out. I will take them off, but then you are back at it wanting to hold them. 
• Drawing is a favorite thing right now. You will crawl up the stool and scribble on anything you can grab. I have a whole notebook, full of scribbles. It is adorable to watch you because you hunch over and are intently focused on the tiny scribbles that you are making.
• Another cute trend now is the baby carrier. Millie has a baby carrier she received for Christmas a while ago. You have claimed it. But instead of babies, you normally have rags stuffed in it. You crack me up.
• The weather has been great this month so we have made several trips to the park and the lake. We visited Tolo lake for the first time. Just like every other kids, rocks are your favorite and I find myself sitting on the ramp, helping you find more rocks to throw in. Also, clothing and bathing suits are the same thing in your mind. After our trip to Tolo, I had to strip you down to just a diaper to drive you home. 
• We went camping for the the first time this year. We took the camper to Hammer Creek Saturday night. It was relaxing playing in the sand, pushing you around in the stroller while Sam rode his bike around the road, and watching you kids explore the bushes. No sand Astle is safe around you though. Maggie made "Hogwarts" and I spent the whole time distracting you with smaller castles for you to destroy so you wouldn't go after hers. Once she finished, we took a picture of it and then it was gone in 30 seconds.
