Character

Casey is quite a character. She is talking a lot, playing a lot, eating a lot and learning a lot. I went a little crazy this week at Target and bought her some new toddler toys. She is very into her new tea set and plastic food. She loves acting like she is eating and drinking and really likes to force the cup or bowl on me or her stuffed animals. She also got some big lego blocks and learned to pull them apart AND put them together. She is still using her signs (all done, please, more), but is starting to also mimic us and says the words now.

The beginning of the week started out a little scary. Casey slept in on Monday until 10:30. When I went upstairs to get her, she just laid in the crib staring at me, no smiles, no talking. Something was obviously wrong. Her head and arms were shaking, so we made an emergency trip to the Doctor. Fortunately, after she had something to drink and eat, she was feeling much better and starting acting a little more normal in the car on the way to the Doc. Her vitals were excellent, so we're not really sure what happened. She was lethargic most of the morning, but after nap, she was back to normal. We think maybe she was dehydrated. We're keeping an eye on her and will have her checked again at her 15 month appt this week.

The rest of the week Casey was her happy, cheery, busy self. She swam in her pool and played on the playground a bunch...she has now perfected the slide. She can go down in sitting position, turns herself onto her belly in mid-slide, scoots herself off and heads right back to the steps for another turn.

Daycare was good on Wednesday. She had a little anxiety when I left her, but was soon off playing, and though she only took a 35 min nap, she had a great day! Thank goodness!!

This weekend Geoff, Sarah, Kaelin (2 1/2) and Graham (3 months) came up to visit from Denver. Casey had fun watching and following Kaelin around and checking out Graham. We took out our new canoe on Lake Dillon...Casey did not join, but got to play on the playground, which was def more fun for her.

Enjoy the pix!

I love her giving her bear a drink. And Casey, you feed yourself very well!
