I thought for sure Lil would break 20 lbs at her 18 month check-up but she weighed 19.6. ;) Like always, though, good to get a great report on her development, and the nurses/Dr are always so impressed by Lil and her talking. She has been extra copy-cat lately, doing all the little faces and words we tell her to say.
It's definitely turned Fall… the weather's been awesome and leaves have finally changed. We did lots of fun Fall things this month. Hogan and I took her to the pumpkin patch and petting zoo, Mom and I did another pumpkin patch and hayride with her, and we had to make the annual trip to Kings Drive for pumpkins too. Lily was going to be a duck for Halloween but wouldn't wear her hat, so we switched last minute and she was perfectly happy as a ballerina. We had a great time at the neighborhood trunk-or-treat and trick-or-treating at our neighbors.
And… we made the announcement this month that we're expecting baby #2! Lily likes to say "baby, tummy" and give my belly kisses. :) Lil's little buddy is due May 11!
