i am seriously behind again on my blogging... sorry. oh well...
we have been so busy playing out side, getting the backyard ready for a make over, redoing the garage and the basement, de-cluttering.. again, swimming, taking long walks at sugarhouse park and playing in the garden... you know... my typical nesting routine... oh and smooching the cheeks off this kid! he is our entertainment these days... could you ask for anything more?? i love getting home from work to run around the backyard before dinner and then watch him water my garden (which is growing great again this year!). the pumpkins, squash, tomatoes, green beans, jalapenos, peppercinis and green peppers... mmm i'll be hanging around the cherry tomatoes right mom?!
merrick is growing fast! he had his 18 month check up last week. 23 lbs. and 33 in. tall. he doesn't turn down any food... love it. working on spitting out words, and is very good at communicating unless he is tired... love it. loves the water... love it. naps on the the bottom bunk... love it. loves to be tackled and tickled by mom and dad every night before bed... love it. sings and dances to music... love it. grabs my chin or my cheeks and loves to plant kisses on me then tilts his head to the side, says something in gibberish and flashes his dimples!... love it. hangs out in the garage with dad playing with all the tools... love it. what would i do with out this kid? and soon i get to love on two of them!! thank you kasey!
