I won (most) of the battle! & 18 mon stats

We had a battle at our house this morning before church! It really wasn't that bad....more funny than anything! AK has become quite opinionated and has decided she wants to dress herself! Daddy lets that happen.......mommy does NOT!!

I was getting her ready this morning for church and I put her in this sweet little giraffe print onsie with a pink cardigan and ruffle bottom denim pants. I picked out sweet polka dot socks and a pink/green bow to match with some new navy blue mary janes. Well, AK was not having it!!! She went to her dirty clothes basket and was saying "tights...tights!" So to avoid the battle I took off her socks, pants, and unsnapped her onsie so she could wear tights. As I got all of her clothes BACK on her I proceeded to put on her navy blue shoes and she said NO and ran to her closet and got out her pink furry crocs.......now these are cute but NO!! So I just took the blue shoes downstairs with me....however, before I went downstairs I pulled down a pink bow and tried to put it in her hair......she said NO and went to her bow holder....so, I pulled down a green one to let her choose (pink or green). She points up at all of her bows and says "BLACK!!" Well, black did not match her outfit! She began to throw a little tantrum so I just stepped over her and took all of the things she was GOING to wear downstairs with me! I got downstairs and told Bryant all about the battle and his response was "Go hug that baby and tell her she can wear what she wants too.....that's what I let her do!" No help from him!!! I went back up and got her and finally got her dressed!
Here we are after church with tights, no pants, unsnapped onesie and pink bow!!!


On another note....Anna Kate had her 18month check-up on Monday. She was 22lbs 1oz (16%) and 33 in long (82%). She is a precious, sweet, healthy baby girl that we thank God everyday for!!

We LOVE Kindermusik

Anna Kate started Kindermusik a couple of weeks ago. I am so glad I put her in it because she absolutely loves it! Her teacher is wonderful!! Here are a couple of pictures from last night's class. They are not great quality because I had to use my phone..........
Playing with jingle bells


Playing the wooden sticks


Hula Hoops!!!



Singing with "Miss Nusha" (AK calls her MUSHAAAA)

It is such a good experience for her. She loves music and dancing! They also are learning to follow directions and take turns. She is doing so well with everything. I am so proud of her!!

Our sweet girl turned 18 months old yesterday! What a joy she is! Everyday is a new adventure. Her vocabulary seems to be expanding by the day!
Showing us how she can "march!"

  • Size 18-24 month clothes
  • Size 5 shoes and size 4 diapers
  • Still loves to read and has really pinned some favorite books that she can read with me!
  • Knows blue, green, and red and can almost count to 10 without skipping numbers :)
  • Loves play-doh
  • Loves all sweets (just like her mama!)
  • Bath time is still one of her favorite times of the day
  • Still sleeping pretty well most nights but not a great napper
  • We love her to pieces!!!

We have just started Kindermusik and she absolutely LOVES it! I'm so proud of her! She is doing really well following directions and being independent and absolutely loves her teacher!


Saturday night we went to dinner with some friends. They have a sweet little 1 year old boy named Mason who is one of AK's new favorites. They really play well together!


Giving Mason a hug :)
