Big Sister In 4 Weeks!!!
The time is getting closer for India to be a big sister! We had a doctor's appt. this week and everything looks great with the baby. His or her head is down and we are 2 cm dilated and 50% effaced. Of course we found out with India that this doesn't mean anything about when the baby will arrive, but it's a good sign that my body is preparing for labor. Any progress now is less time it will take at the hospital.
India is enjoying her final days as an only child. She has been coloring, painting, playing in the leaves, playing at the park, going to the zoo, and can go up AND down the steps by herself now. You can also see from the picture below that she is perfecting her sign language (she is telling Daddy that she loves him). We have also been taking trips to the library. Her favorite book is a Dora book about being a big sister. She looks at it all the time but doesn't want any help reading it, she can do that on her own :)
We love you and miss you!

Mountain Excursion
It turns out India is a nature lover just like the rest of the family. We went up into the mountains to see the elk and she had a ball! They were right beside the road and she hung out the window and yelled at them.
As of the past few weeks she is running more than she is walking, saying "hi" and giving high fives to anyone willing, and laughing like crazy. We are talking to her more and more about being a big sister, however she still doesn't seem to understand. In five weeks she will have quite a surprise coming to live with her! India had her 18 month checkup last Friday and she is completely healthy and normal for her age. She is in the 40th percentile for weight and 85th percentile for height. Looks like Daddy is going to have his basketball player! Her words are still more her language than English but she is trying to repeat what we say more and more. She knows the parts of her body....toes, knees, nose, eyes, ears, etc. Most noteworthy though is her favorite song; "The Wheels on the Bus."
We love you and miss you all! Don't forget about our open invitation to come visit around Christmas time.
