Messy girl

Love that Greta doesn't mind getting dirty. Day care said she sat and played in the dirt almost the whole time they were outside. And when I picked her up... It showed. 

So we just added to it. Love the watermelon! 

Another tooth

Finally up to 3 teeth! Seriously, in 15 months that's all. Going to check with the doctor if she thinks that's okay.

Her top left one is now visible! 

I dread the day when the big ones start coming in. 

Talking up a storm

Seems like in the last week Greta vocabulary has grown immensely. Even day care has noticed. She also repeats the last word you say or attempts to. It's crazy how fast she's growing up.

Going to try and list a few...

Boo boo (which she has on her knee)

There's so many more but these are some of her most used. 

Nursing update

15 months and still going strong. But I made the decision yesterday I was going to start cutting down. I only nurse in the morning and at night, so I'm going to cut out the morning - figure that will be easier. 

She's quite demanding and point or pokes at my chest and says milk. Mama milk please. Or more milk. I know it's a sign she's tired when she does it. I've also been really tough in the middle of the night to not nurse. Yes we've had some rough moments. Tough mommy even came out a few times. But we made it through.

So first day results... a success! And my boobs survived 24 hours without nursing- even bigger success! On to day 2.

The deck view

We love our new deck! I'm so glad we did it! We've enjoyed it every day! Meals, pool time, tanning, napping... Even playing under it in the rocks.

It's amazing how ending the night, watching the sun set and reflecting on the day can bring peace and closure. It's a great view from our deck. 

Up north fun

Friday night we loaded up and headed up north for the week! First stop Curran (also know as Ruth Lakke North). Great weather and lots of fun! 

Greta is a huge fan of the 4-wheeler and went on lots of rides with Papa. Sha even feel asleep several times on the ride. She kept saying "Ride. Papa." And "Beep beep." She also loved the row boat and said "Row. Row. Please." 

We swam lots! Jason and Ryan attempted to make a rope swing and jumped from the bucket. Julie and I even went in!

Then on Tuesday we loaded up and headed up Arcadia. Much cooler temps but still lots of fun. A stop at the beach to play in the sand. Fun on the play ground. Ice cream. Little people. Tennis and a round of golf for Ryan and I. 

Then Thursday afternoon we hit the road to come back home and enjoy a weekend at home before heading back to work.

2,000 plus ounces

Well I emptied out the deep freeze today and donated it to a good family. Josh and Josh are expecting twins and my milk will help get them off to a great start. 

Feel honored that I could help!
