month 18

It never sinks in how old my BABY is until I start to write these posts. I can't believe my precious angel is a little girl! Don't believe me? Check out this pic:

this baby loved her new romper 


Just within the last few weeks she has learned so many new things. Her vocabulary grows daily. Here are her list of words she can "say":

Daddy (alllllllll the time)
Mommy (only once in a blue moon)
Nose (she loves pointing to her nose and saying it)
Meow (can't really say kitty but meows when she sees one)
More! (she does this with the sign...sooo cute)
Where'd he go? (this is more of a noise but I know what she means)
What is it? (same as above...mostly mumbles)
No
Oh noooo!
Teeth
Ball (pronounced daw)
All done (after meals and anytime she doesn't want to do something)
Eat! Eat! (she means sit in a chair)
Go-go (this means go outside or in the car)
I do (we think that is what she is saying at least...)

Such a big girl. Other things she can do now are wash her hands, sort-of use silverware, color, drink out of a cup with straw, climb, and 100 more things I can't remember right now. Jameson is in the phase where we can't really go to stores or restaurants for more than 20 mins. She doesn't want to be in the stroller, grocery cart, or carried...she wants to walk and touch things (I DO!!). So bad in public. I think it is cute but Will is mortified when she breaks free and terrorizes other babies or small animals. It makes doing much of anything a challenge. I RARELY take her anywhere by myself except on the weekends. Tag-teaming seems to work best...that or staying at home. 

As most of you already know, we had a rough March this year. I had a miscarriage at 16 weeks from a virus called CMV. Total fluke according to my doc...she said it was seriously a 1% chance of something like that happening. Will and I had a few sad days but have bounced back and are excited to move forward. We had a lot of time to reflect and know that we are so lucky to have things like a healthy daughter, good jobs, and a home. It almost made us feel silly for being upset. Crazy how something like that makes you put things in perspective. That being said...we decided we needed a change and put our house on the market! Houses are selling so quickly in Charlotte right now! If all goes well we will list on May 1st! Spread the word people :)

Right around the same time that I was sick, Jameson got sick too and had SHINGLES!! It looked so gross and painful. No one could really explain to us how a toddler can get shingles but we think we just had a terrible virus going through our house and got us really sick. That is the best explanation we got. It really is the most random thing that could have happened. Thankfully, shingles isn't painful to toddlers and babies. After day one of meds she already started looking much better. I am so thankful that it wasn't worse. I feel so awful when she gets sick. 

Here are some pictures of our last 2 months! This is hardly everything...we did lots of stuff but I rarely get my camera out in time. I am majorly out of phone storage (once a month) and never can take pictures when I really want to! But this is what I have handy for now:

This picture kills me. Her face plus Rose's face are the best. Valentine's Day treats. She was telling him "no!" when he tried to share.

Checkin' out her haul from the school Easter egg hunt. Marie and Appleby are never far behind....

Too much

I almost died at how cute this was....and then she looked back and asked me to hold hands too. DEAD!!

There are about 25 different variations of this where at least one of us isn't looking at the camera....

"Eat Eat"

Me, Bubs, and Mimsy

"I do!". Showing Mimsy that she can do it by her own dang self!

K byeeEEEEEE
