Halloween 2009

This Halloween was much better than last year. There were no melt downs by Evan or his cousin Cate. The only thing "bad" about this year was the weather, although it wasn't cold it did rain, thankfully we got some trick or treating in before it really came down.

Evan was Spongebob again this year, since he didn't wear it for very long last year. Joni was Minnie Mouse. She didn't like her ears, but everyone still knew who she was. At the beginning of trick or treating she had no clue what was going on, but she really wanted to carry her bag. By the end I was carrying the bag, too heavy for her. She would go up to the door, get her candy, hold on to it until the next door then put it in the bag so she could get the next candy. It was so cute. Also Evan and Cate had gotten so far ahead, with Uncle Jim, that we lost them so we went by ourselves.

Joni is 18 months old

Well where has the time gone. I can't believe it has been a year and a half already. Today we went to the doctor and Joni is growing right along. She is now 32" tall and weighs 25 pounds. It won't be long before she weighs more than Evan does. She had to get two shots today, Hep A and flu shot, thank goodness.

Also found out today that she needs to see the Orthopedic to make sure she isn't going to end up bow legged. She might get that from Pop Pop Larry, since he is. So I need to make that appointment. Other than that she is doing well, the ears are clearing up from her ear infections, but we have another infection to deal with from the antibotic, which will hopefully clear up in 7-10 days with medicine. So we finish up one medicine and start another.

It won't be long before she is two, time is going by way to fast.
