outfit

Cute, right? I picked her up the tshirt at Target the other day and the pants are Maria's. They're size 18-24 months so she is kind of swimming in them, but they stay up, which is all I care about.

Hanging Around

Ha, I couldn't resist. She was only in this cute outfit for like two seconds today. She has a little rash, so I gave her a bath with oatmeal. It seems to have helped, she was super scratchy before. She is as crazy as ever with the climbing. I swear she is worse than Anthony or Maria ever dreamed of being.

Sunday in the yard

Sunday Visit

We are trying to get more pictures with family. Sunday I went to have dinner with a friend of mine from NJ who was flying through Chicago, and I called Mike when I was on my way and said "take lots of pictures!". So he did. Mike's sister Lori came up and our niece Hillary, who is her daughter. The girls took a little while to warm up but then they were great, Mike said. I think Veronica looks like me in the second picture, but there's another one where I think she looks just like Mike!

SRSLY

She gets v. serious about that damned belt on her highchair.

Teeny

She looks small here, right? She is, I guess. I can't believe how much she eats and how she remains so teensy. She never stops moving, maybe that's it. She runs her legs the whole time she is sitting down, like in her car seat or whatever. She seems like she's unhappy, because she kind of grunts and groans and runs her legs, but then her face looks fine. She's a weirdo, just like the rest of them. And like everyone, I guess!

Oldest and Youngest

They really are alike, right? Everyone says how much Anthony and Maria are alike but I think he and Veronica are similar too. I think they are all so good looking! I know I'm prejudiced but really, aren't they so cute? They kill me.

Bye Bye!

It's still all she says, practically. She is too busy climbing on the table every second of the day to learn more words. Ha!

Wagon

Veronica loves the wagon. She can get in, but not out. She has been a little sicky this week, she was up in the night once, cranky, etc. She is probably getting teeth, although who can tell?

Veronica, at the Park

I have messed with this so much I can't even look at it anymore. But she was so cute, just going off on her own a little bit. We went out last night and she was up, crying, at like 9:00 and then was awake for two hours or something insane. I am hoping and praying she doesn't make a habit of it. Maria was sick yesterday, so I was worried Veronica was getting it. She threw up on Friday morning, but she's been fine since.

One Year Ago Today

One year ago today, we took Veronica to the zoo for the first time.  I guess the biggest difference this year is that she is a PERSON and last year she was a LITTLE BABY.  Mike took her to her 15 month appointment today, she weighs 21 pounds and is some amount of inches.  Ahem.  :)
