Check-Up

Zeke had his 18 month check-up Thursday. He's 2 ounces away from 20 pounds. Ugg!!! But he's growing taller and his head is growing. We had a visit from our Parents as Teachers lady Tuesday. She gave Zeke a game and Zeke did exactly what was required for the game and she said she had NEVER seen an 18 month old do that!! Of course, Brad and I just laughed and told her we already knew he was a genius! He's more verbal, saying words like cookie, chicken, puppy, baby, cat, and (his favorite) ball. It's funny because I remember when my "little" brother was this age and said "ball" all the time. That's exactly what Zeke is doing. Zeke's receptive language skills are excellent...that just means he understands what we say to him.

So, what's on tap for today? Aerobics, then a Cardinals game, and we're thinking about trying the drive-in. It's about 40 miles outside of town. People usually arrive early so their kids can play on the playground that they have set up in front of the screen. The movie starts at dusk (around 8PM). We think Zeke will be asleep by then so we can enjoy the movie. Honestly, the movie is one that we don't give a flip about seeing (The Fast and the Furious) but I told Brad we needed to try this to see how Zeke does. Next weekend, the drive-in is showing the new Wolverine movie. Weed and Court will be out here and we'll see if they want to go to the drive-in to see it. Brad and I have been chomping at the bit to see the Wolverine movie. Brad and I had so many lovely dates pre-Zeke at the drive-in. It's so much fun to people watch because you're out in this tiny town and the drive-in is THE BIG DEAL in this town. We took my dad to see a movie at the drive-in several years ago when he came out for a visit. It was fun!

Hope you have a super weekend!
