The Whirl wind of Life

Seriously, I don't know where the time goes sometimes.  It's April, getting close to Easter already (I feel like it was just March and Easter felt like forever away so I had not put any easter decor up until yesterday when I realized it's in 2 weeks), and I'm graduating in 3 weeks.  What keeps us so busy?  Tacy, school, work, Tacy, sleep, Tacy...ok so maybe not a lot of things, but enough to keep time going by.

First of Tacy: She is officially 20 months tomorrow!  I'm excited because she is old enough to like Easter and kind of get what is going on, so we bought her a basket.  She had her 18 month follow-up on her her 19 month day and she weighed 22.8 lbs and was 32 inches long.  Crazyness cause she is half my height!  Tacy still screamed at the doctors.  Poor kid has not forgotten that she gets shots there.  At least her next appointment won't be until August so maybe that will be a long enough time to forget.

Tacy's funny personality keeps developing.  She still loves technology, she loves to dance and sing (especially during quiet moments in church), she loves pushing her baby stroller and shopping cart, but she also loves turning them funny ways and carrying them or sitting in them.

Tacy loves yogurt again, she LOVES salsa.  Oh man, so we went to a mexican resturaunt and they had no high chairs, so Tacy got a booster seat (meaning no seat belt to hold her in the seat).  Tacy loved this idea because she stood the whole time which allowed her to reach the chips and salsa.  She dips chips in the salsa and sucks the salsa off the chip, then re-dips.  I have to remind her to take bites of the chips.  She got to the point of using anything to get salsa (crayons, forks) until she grabbed the salsa and tried to drink it from the dish.  Needless to say, I didn't eat much of my meal because I was a little busy trying to keep Tacy sitting and from drinking salsa.  But it was very funny.

This was acutally at Outback when she kept sucking all the butter off her bread

My mom got Tacy an easter dress and it is very puffy and adorable.  Tacy had fun twirling around in it (very much like her Aunt Katie used to always do in her dresses).

Tacy is getting good at counting, granted she always skips number 3 but she loves 1,2, 4, and 5.  We count the stairs when we go up and down them.  We are working on colors still.  Tacy loves trying to put her pants on.  Pretty funny because she is good at getting one leg in, but then she will take them off and start to put a leg in again.  She also can now push/pull everything out of the way of her closet which she then likes to "hide" in and ask "where'd go" and then pop out laughing.    Funny kid.

In the mean time, I have three more tests until graduation.  I decided that I would walk since my nursing degree is a pretty big deal and a big accomplishment for me.  I'm even graduating with honors (yup I've gotten my best grades since becoming a mom and having no time/focus...).  Brad and Tacy will be there to cheer me on.

Brad still works at his job, I still work a night or two a week.  We still aren't sure where exactly we will be going after I graduate since we are still on the waiting list for the PA program in NC.  Who knows.  I'm just hoping we can find out soon so we can start planning.
