More from Iowa

While I was up in Iowa visiting Grandma for a week (my own escape from my parents - I had to get away for a bit!) I really enjoyed my time with Grandma! We did lots of things! Grandma has a wooden high chair at her house and I really liked sitting in it and feeding myself! At home, mom just puts my food right on my tray. But at Grandma's I feel like a real kid, because she put my food on a plate!!
And we also went to the Iowa State Fair! I really love to people watch, and let me tell you...the Fair is a haven for people watchers!!! I won't even start to tell you all the food I ate!!!
Grandma thought this photo was cute - I'm sitting in the "Livestock Area!" Am I livestock?
Grandma is always doing something in her kitchen - whether she is cooking a good meal or cleaning up after the meal. And I wanted to help - so she pulled over a stool and I would help! My mom cracked up at this photo - because she thinks I look "big" in it.
Speaking of big - in a few days I'll be 19 months old. Can you believe it? Well, I went to the doctor the other day for my 18 month checkup and I'm only 23 pounds. That puts me at the 35 percentile for weight. And I was 31 inches tall - in the 30 percentile. So even though I look chunky, I'm below average for height and weight. And my mom realized that - she bought a bunch of cute 18 month size dresses for me and they are all too big!
