Alli's 18 mos Stats

Alli went for her 18 month old check up yesterday. Dr. Wilson was quite pleased/impressed with her. We are blessed with a healthy, talkative, and very active 18 month old! Unfortunately, she did have to get 3 shots, including the very important "seasonal flu shot"! She was quite the trooper and hardly even cried.
Here are her 18mos stats:
Weight: 28 lbs, 6oz- 92nd percentile
Height: 33.25 inches- 88th percentile
Head Circ: 18.5 inches- 61st percentile

Kindermusik

Alli started the Kindermusik classes this week. Kindermusik is a once a week class that introduces music to kids. It's supposed to encourage early reading, math, and reasoning skills, and self control. I just enrolled her because she loves music, all those other things, if they are true, would be a bonus! Alli's class meets at the Rock Springs Church in Easley which is quite convenient! I have been wanting to enroll her a class for a while, but the only ones I could find were during the day, and since I work, it wasn't exactly feasible. Last night was the first class. It was a little chaotic with all the kids being new to Kindermusik. Alli's class ranges from 3- 18 month olds, a 15 month old, a 16 month old, and a 12 month old. The small class is very nice. Alli was shy at first, being in a new environment and didn't really want to participate, but she warmed up quickly and turned into a huge ham dancing around stealing people's name tags. Overall, I think she's going to like the class, and all the parents seem really nice. I wish I would have had my camera! Sorry, no pics this week!

Tiger Football is BACK!!

Well, I won't say Fall is in the air, but football is definitely back in swing! So, the cool weather is sure to follow! Clemson's opener was last Saturday, and of course being the huge Clemson fans that we are, we definitely wouldn't miss it! We tailgated with our good friends, The Buzzells. It was fun to get all of our tailgating "stuff" out and dust it off. The game wasn't until 6pm, so we decided to tailgate the afternoon away! We literally "grazed" all day! Alli went to Columbia for a visit with Mimi and Papa. Since it's pretty warm here, and the game wasn't until 6, it would have been too much for her. We missed her, but it sure was nice to sleep in! Thanks Mimi and Papa. The Tigers looked pretty good for a first game out and we were definitely pleased with a win! Hopefully, we can play better tonight against Ga Tech!










Mimi and Papa must have really wore Alli out...On Labor Day, she slept in and took a 2 hr nap!
