Science Center

Afton had been making her way around the Pittsburgh museum circuit in the 3 weeks. So far she has logged 3 visits to the Children's Museum, 2 visits to the Science Center and one visit to the Natural History Museum. She will be hitting up the Warhol on Wednesday. Below are some pics from her visit to the Science Center today. They have a program called Munchkin Mondays with activities targeted at kids under 6. We enjoyed story time and a cool program about what animals eat. What Afton enjoyed most was the water table. She managed to dump an entire bucket of water on herself. She also ran away from me when I tried to change her clothes....see below.

Balloon!

Afton's new favorite thing in the world is her balloon. She has been pointing and "ohh"ing balloons at the grocery store for a few weeks so Sean blew up one for her yesterday. It provided hours of fun, literally hours!

Play Date!

Afton had a friend over today for a playdate. Miss Harper's mother had to go to the lab today to work with toxic chemicals and she thought our house would be a safer place for the baby for a few hours....
Afton was very excited. She shared her toys with Harper, sometimes aggressively. She showed off quite a bit and eventually "helped" rock Harper to sleep.
Afton passed out herself about 5 minutes after Harper left.

Dad's Work

Afton loves going to B&N to drop off her Dad. I am pretty sure she must think he works at Santa's workshop. For those of you who have not been to a B&N lately, they have pretty much added on a toy store. Afton loves playing with the train table and giving "performances" on the stage.
All the women there love her even though she will not give them the time of day. Her only reaction to an employee is when she gets sample rice krispee treats from the Cafe.

Where a Girl Belongs....

After a few attempts, Afton's kitchen is finally complete. She LOVES it!

The drawers are a main attraction

And, she has already managed to begin to dismantle it.

15 Months!

Afton had her 15 month check up today and I figured there is no better time to get my crap together and update this blog than right now.
According the the doctor and his graph- She is off the charts! Afton's height (33.5 inches) literally did not fall with a percentile range on the chart. The chart stops at the 95th percentile and her little "x" was well above that mark. Her weight is around the 70th percentile at 24lbs. I can not say we are surprised. We have started to borrow her Grandma Gabel's nickname of Hoss due to the insane amount of food this girl consumes.

She is crying because Sean is not sharing his soup with her. She had just eaten a snack, that most kids would consider a full meal, 15 minutes before.

a rare sight- sharing her cheese with Steve.

gotta brush those teeth after all that food.
