The Master (mistress?) of Disaster

Ahhh....here's our 15 month old tornado....sportin' her masters shirt from Grandpa Jay and her kickin' pink sunglasses from Aunt Kebbie. Think she's ready for spring?

Just for a quick update: at her 15 month appointment Greta impressed Dr Bush. Her stats: she's almost 23 lbs (51%ile), 31 inches tall (67%ile), and her head is a whopping 19 inches (96%ile!!!!!). Her grandpa (the suspected source of the large noggin') says big heads house big brains...we liked that explanation! Dr Bush said Greta is hittin her milestones in stride and is ahead of schedule linguistically...I know, a real shocker for all those who know our chatty child. Yay growing girl!

We are eager for summer and suspect that our little Gboo will morph into quite the little park-urchin. More photos to come!

Bamagramma brought snow!

That may not be entirely true....but Greta's momma did feel rather silly having promised Bamagramma that snow does not fall in MN in April and having to welcome Granny here in a wet snow storm this last weekend. Sigh. Luckily the snow didn't really stick around and get in our way of having a fun weekend together while the Preacher was following golf balls in Augusta. We spent a morning at the Como Conservatory checkin' out the corpse flower (it was not in full stink sadly, but we saw it) and showing Greta what flowers look like. We snapped some cute shots of Gboo and Bamagramma so enjoy. We did have more fun than the visit to the conservatory....but we forgot to break out our cameras! We miss Bamagramma already!

Sliding into Spring!

Today we took a family outing to the mall next door for lunch and an hour at the INDOOR PLAYGROUND. Yes, a big deal. Now that Greta is pretty steady on her feet and motoring around pretty well we decided it was time to introduce her to the concept of a playground. The number of screaming kiddos and funky play equipment made her pretty tentative at first. But after watching for 5 or 10 minutes she was ready to explore it a bit. The preacher and his wife coaxed (OK coerced) Greta to try out the slide and after a few rounds she actually looked like she enjoyed it. After we were done playing, Greta insisted on helping momma push the stroller back through the mall...what a big girl! Enjoy a few photos from today's big adventure.
