18 month's

Analise had her 18 month old well child check yesterday. We are finally caught up on shots after getting behind while moving. There is a lack of doctors in general for klamath falls so we were on a waiting list for quite awhile but we found a great pediatrician who is fantastic with kids. Her current stats are 34.75 inches tall (98%) and 25.2 lbs (50%). Analise has actually been consistently losing weight since she turned 1. We expected a bit as she is a lot more active now but something the doctor wants to keep on eye on. And we do feed her tons for those who are wondering, she can eat all day long and and is blessed with her father's metabolism.

Analise is a bit behind on talking but I guess kids that are around more then one language take a little longer to start putting words together. She still uses a bit of Spanish (from her old daycare) and sign, and jibberish. Our most common word right now is "whats that". Everything gets pointed at and asked what it is. She also loves turning lights on and off while saying bright/dark.

When Jesse is at work she will get my cell phone and call da da many time a day to keep him up to date on what we are doing, whether of not she actually dials him doesn't slow her talking down at all.

Analise has also learned to climb out of her crib. We were expecting this some day just not at 14 months old. It was quite entertaining though to be mostly asleep then here Jesse yell as Analise was trying to climb up on his side of the bed at about 2am. So nighttime is a daily struggle since she is still too young to understand to stay in bed.

New videos

Jesse got a joint Christmas gift of a video camera so we can record all the wonderful things that Analise does and says.

Sleding in madras

We spent Christmas with both sides of our family. First we went to madras and stayed with Dana and Aaron for 5 days. We had a great time catching up with everyone and spending lots of time playing in the snow. Then on Christmas day we went to eagle crest to join my parents, Ryan, heather and their 3 boys for a few days. Analise still in not into unwrapping presents so her daddy helped on most. So far I think her favorite toy was the baby that we carry around all the time saying "shshsh baby". Here are some pictures of both gatherings.

Way too long of time off..

So I seem to have forgotten to keep up with this blog. Or maybe the fact the every time we get snow/rain/wind here the Internet does not work which would be everyday since we moved here in October.
Things are going great, Jesse still loves his job and I love the fact there is so much overtime right now, not to have him gone but for our saving for a house project. Analise and I stay at home and play all day. We have our daily schedule set of going to the gym every morning for 2 hours, Analise loves the playroom/daycare there and I get some alone/workout time each day. We also attend the story time at the library once or twice a week. On Saturday's they bring the "canine angels" dogs so the kids can play with the dogs and the dog owners read stories.

We are still looking for a house. We originally had bought one in December only to find out a few weeks later that the bank had lost some important paperwork such as the deed so now we are still waiting for that to get figured out. We had looked at lots of other houses but none that fit our style, family and ability to have guests come and visit so for now we wait.
