Just a Playin' in the Rain and 17 months!

Guess what Sugie? you are 17 months old! In just one month it will be your 1/2 year birthday! :) God gave you a little present today and sent a big storm. It rained and rained so much that the back patio at our rent house got flooded with water. It was quite a treat for you! I figured I would include the pics here in our 17 month post.

1) You weigh between 25 - 26 pounds, wear a size 4 diaper, size 5 shoe and 18/24 month clothes

2) You are still happy most of the time but have learned to throw quite a fit when you don't get your way. It is quite a site to see you throw yourself on the floor and act like you are mortally wounded. Poor Sugie Bear.

3) you are getting better about saying more and more words these days and still doing really well with your sign language.

4) You have become a really good eater. you love catfish and fruit the most

5) You love water and everything about it. So glad God sent you a little water present today.

6) When you get to do something you really like you smile so big and look like you are having the time of your life.

7) You are very independent and love to explore your world. You can still give some good cuddles. You still nurse about 3 times a day and I am thankful to get that cuddle time with you.

8) You still love to swing and have your swing sign down quite good. Which is much better than your crying to get your way

9) You bully Duke around but I think he still loves you so. He enjoyed playing in the water with you today.

10) You are also in this big "monkey see, monkey do" phase. Since your only sibling is a dog you lapped up water just like him. He He! You can also be found doing things just like mommy and daddy too. Like just this evening you were trying to fill up your cup at the water cooler.

11) Lately you have really seemed to be a Daddy's girl and I think sometimes prefer him over me. For the record he took these pictures and was in charge of watching you! He He!

We love you so much Sugar Bear and really enjoy watching you grow, laugh and play. You make us smile everyday and we can't imagine our lives without you! LOVE YOU LOTS AND LOTS!

My little fish

Hey there its me Sugar Bear. My Mommy and Daddy took me to this really cool place yesterday called a splash park to meet up with friends. Mommy said she hoped I like it.

When we first go there I wasn't too sure about the whole thing. There were kids running every where and lots of noise.

Then I realized I was looking pretty cute in my tutu swim suit so I decided hmmm...I better try this out.

Daddy took me over to check it out. He siad it was kindof like bathtime.

Before long I was having a ball. We were there with other friends but no one my age seemed very interested in being in the water. I on the other hand stuck my hands in the water...

...Clapped my hands in the water and laughed away......

and let the water splash all over my head.
I think I got this holding my breath thing down pretty good.

It was a great time and I was drenched from head to toe. I might try and stand under the bucket soon!
Of course I did have to stop for a drink or two along the way.

Thanks for taking me mommy and daddy! I had so much fun and can't wait to go again! Mommy says you should watch the video below of me at the splash park. She tried to get me on camera laughing but I have tried to explain that I don't perform on demand! HA!

Wires, Tubs and Ducts oh my!

Looks like a lot of the wiring and duct work has been done in the last few days. Nothing to exciting but I took pictures none the less!

Wires, wire, wires

Sugie's bathroom

Cool little ledge in stairway looking over into living room

These wires look good mom!

I was trying to get a picture of Sugie in her room but all she wanted to do was walk through the walls. Don't think she is going to be excited about sheet rock. :)

Like our upgraded railing? Ha!
