Mckenna and I had a great Spring Break. We spent the first half of break in Iowa and the second half at home. It was so nice to spend an extended amount of time with everyone! Sadly I didn't get my camera out once but Mom and Laura got some pretty good pictures of Brooke and Mckenna. I will have to get them from Mom to share. Mckenna and Brooke got in a lot of playing time. They are so fun to watch! Mckenna taught Brooke how to climb up the stairs (sorry Laura and Chris). Their other favorite game was peek-a-boo standing behind the doll house.
When we returned home Mckenna and I did some spring cleaning and closet rearranging. Ok, Ok I did the work Mckenna just looked for things to get in to! The weather sadly turned from 70-80 degree days to cold just as we returned, so we didn't get much time to go "outsi". This broke Mckenna's heart, she LOVES to play outside! Saturday John and Charlene dropped off a new toy... a water table. Mckenna was so excited to play with it but sadly it looked like this...
So we let her play with the water table in the house! She LOVED it! I don't know if it was because of the water or if it was because she got to run around the house in her diaper but she was so happy!
Later in the afternoon John and Charlene came back over for some "snow b'que" as Matt called it. While he did the grilling Mckenna, Grandma and Grandpa did the playing... in the snow that is!

Mckenna had her 18 month check up on Tuesday. She is 19lbs 14oz, in the 5th percentile for weight and 32 inches tall, the 75th percentile for height. She had to bring her baby in the stroller to the appointment and the Dr. had to check the baby too! Mckenna didn't cry the entire time she was in the room this time and even nervously wanted a hug from Dr. Dorfman. I think this made Dr. Dorfman really happy, I was so proud of her! Mckenna has many words at this point, sometime I need to really sit down and try to figure out how many words she really has. She can count to five along with us, not independently, but I think we are close! Yesterday she surprised Grandma Charlene by coming to her and saying "potty", insisting she sit on the potty. She didn't go, but I guess this is one step in the right direction. I have a couple of cute pictures from the doctor's office.... enjoy!

Well, I think that sums it all up! Mom and Dad will be in town this weekend to help with some MORE home improvements! I will have pictures on Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday... or when I get to it next week!
LOVE from the Lucas Family!
