Sorry for the delay in posts. We had some serious internet issues and ended up changing companies and they just got us hooked up a few hours ago!
I'm planning on a blog overload soon and hope you all didn't give up on me! :)

15 Months
Jolie recently turned 15 months and I almost forgot she needed to go back to the doctor for a check up--haha! So we went in today to get checked out and we just had to get one shot. Jolie has gotten pretty smart and knows the nurses are the ones who give the shots so she's a perfect angel when the doctor is checking her out, but as soon as that nurse gets around--it's panic city!
She checked out okay and is progressing along! No major concerns besides Josh and I still being neurotic, over-analyzing, first-time parents! :) She is weighing in at 20 1/2 lbs. We thought she was bigger, but I guess the last few times she'd been in she was weighed with clothes on. This put her in the 15% for weight--woo hoo--on the chart! And she's 30 inches tall which is 30% on the chart--awesome! (I was never on the charts and Josh was on the small side too, so we are super excited she's on the charts!)
We are still working on eating regular food but we know it will come with time. She has some 'texture issues' with food so we still do quite a bit of baby food but if any of you know me, I also have some texture issues as well so clearly this is an inherited problem! :) You should see her though when we put new food in front of her. Just looking at, she'll make the maddest face! Where do they learn this stuff?
So Jolie was a little 'sensitive' after her shot so we needed to create some super fun to get us through to bed time. So we hooked up her fancy sprinkler to the hose and headed outside for some fun! We consider this 'training' to get ready for the splash park and for later trips to water parks and swimming pools. So today's training went pretty well! She was a little skeptical at first, but pretty soon was filling up her buckets and running around the yard.

Jolly June
Finally the weather is starting to perk up and we can get outside more! Jolie has been loving playing outside and I'm pretty sure she is already on her way to having that beautiful sun-kissed tan look that kiddos get from spending lots of time outside. Me on the other hand...I couldn't buy that look! Luckily I think Jolie definitely got her Daddy's darker skin because she was already more tan than me when she was born!!! What the heck?!?!
Anyway, Jolie's Uncle Brett came to stay and play with Jolie this weekend. We went out to Summer Haven (a small private lake nearby that great, great uncle Dennis and Karen have a cabin at) for the afternoon on Saturday and Jolie had a great time playing in the sand! She even tried some out--gross!
On Sunday, Rathke's stopped by in between a softball tournament (which Jolie's shirt happened to match their team colors--sweet!) and we went and played with the Wulf's for a little bit. We even had time to play bubbles outside--and she tried some of those too--yuck! She really digs bubbles and tries to blow them, but usually she ends up eating the bubble stick. Lovely.
