Tater had his 18 month check-up the other day. I'm happy to report that he has been doing awesome. The weird every 3-week fevers he was getting for quite some time have subsided, ear infections still occur frequently, even with tubes, but they are way easier to treat. He was defiantly more aware of where he was this time and what was lurking in his future...shots!
He did great though, took it like a champ. The little trooper he is. Here's his stats:
Weight: 25.11 lbs. - 50%
Height: 34 inches - 95% (although we think they measured him wrong)
Head circumfence - I don't remember! I know, terrible mother.
There isn't a lot he can't do at the moment. He is B-U-S-Y!! Keeps us on our toes at all times. He can keep a beat to music, and his started to mimic just about everything we do. Great. Guess we better watch ourselves ;)
He's very loving, cuddly (I love), and enjoys watching Handy Manny or "manny" as he calls it. He's also very responsible, throwing away "trash," making sure Wiley has food in his bowl and picking up his toys. He loves to climb, everything! Spin in circles, weird! and can say way more words than I can count. He is very analytical, so far pretty patient and has great focus. He enjoys reading books and is obsessed with playing with his kitchen he got from Christmas. He makes us cookies several times a night and he'll even pretend to eat them...way cute. He is super smart (and I'm not saying it because I'm partial)!

Can. not. move!
In my last post I mentioned that we were hunting for a new gym. Well, we've signed up for a free week pass and have gone several times this week. We like it and Tater had a ball in the child care area!
I, however...can. not. move! I joined my dear friend Kara today in a strength training class and every muscle in my body is screaming! Tomorrow is not going to be good. I'll be lucky if I can bend my rear down to sit in a chair! Not to mention we played volleyball at church last night too and I was already slightly sore from that!
But! It does feel good. My body thanks me and in a few months that swimsuit will be even happier :)

Happy 2011!!!
Wow, it is true. The older you get, the faster time goes. We had a wonderful Christmas. Lots of new memories were made and I love to make memories! I get it from my mom, she always wanted everything to be a memory and many time would say (when things weren't going as planned) "Oh well, we're making a memory!" She was right, most memories I have were off the wall things and never completely picture perfect. That is what makes them special.
We celebrated Tater's half birthday on the 23rd. He enjoyed a Christmas cupcake this year and loved every bite. We also let him open one present, just to spread out the Christmas joy.
For Christmas, we spent lots of time with family, celebrated Jesus's birthday and we opened lots of presents, Tater enjoyed opening his and everyone elses gifts. Really into ripping that paper up! His favorite gift was from Santa, of course. His very own wooden kitchen which he adores. He makes us cookies daily, actually multiple times a day and tells me over and over again, "It's hot" with a cute little lisp.
We spent New Years Eve doing...NOTHING! Welcome to the life with children :) We were alright with that. Had Tater's best friend Ethan over for pizza and playing, then it was off to bed for Tater while we watched a movie and barely stayed awake to ring in the New Year. It will get exciting again, someday.
Now were on the hunt to find a new gym where the plan is to go workout. So far, we've visited several but haven't pulled the trigger. It's a big commitment. Most make you sign a one year contract! I don't want to put my money somewhere I'm not going to be happy with. We were offered a free pass to one, so I think we'll go try that out and then take the plunge. I'm excited. I'm ready to have more energy. That's my goal. I know the weight loss and feeling better about myself will come with that, but right now, momma needs energy to keep up with a running, stumbling, climbing, temper tantrum (only occasionally) throwing 18 month old!
