15 months old...and I live in Kentucky

Irene is 15 months old! She continues to do funny stuff every day. It also seems like she daily adds a new word to her quickly expanding vocabulary. The latest funny ones: "pack-a-boo", "poop", "dog", "toast", and "crack" (which started out for cracker, but now includes anything she points to and wants us to get for her). Here are some other highlights from the last month:

-she had her first ice cream cone from DQ...and loved it.

-she went to st. louis to visit family and saw a bazillion "duckas"!!!

-she saw her first Murray State football game, which includes a live race horse that races around the track every time Murray score a touchdown. we got to see the horse up close before the game started and Irene was even brave enough to pat it gently...with one finger.

-she started saying "goal" after kicking her soccer balls.

-she still loves to read books with us, but now will "read to herself" as well. She babbles and babbles while turning the pages...she also loves to play with her baby dolls. she will rock them in her little rocking chair, put them down to take naps, push them in her baby stroller, and dress them up with necklaces, bracelets, and head bands!

In other "Team news", we never officially posted that "Felix" is going to be a boy. There was NO DENYING the ultrasound. There are definitely "boy parts" down there. Also, the official day of baby appearing is December 28th. We scheduled the c-section for that first Monday after the Christmas weekend. Felix is doomed to share a bday with Didu and Jesus. He will never feel appropriately celebrated and hold a grudge long into his adult life.

Here is some video of the DQ trip and be sure to check out the new album!
