Where Does She Pick Up This Stuff?

I am now about to share some mortifying news. It's nothing new that Vita likes to terrorize the dogs while they eat dinner. If it's not Vita eating their food, it's Vita covering up Deimos' bowl with Grace's bowl. And the list goes on. Last night topped the charts. To distract the dogs during dinner, Vita grabbed Deimos' penis and Grace's nipples. We have never seen her do this, and we have no idea where she has?

Vita Showing Off Her Threads

Vita can't help but be the cutest toddler with help from family. Grammie Asch made the sweater, and Grandma Z picked out the dress, complete with warm tights.

Doctor, Doctor...Give Me Some News...

Last week Vita had two medical appointments (the poor, little bugger...): her annual kidney check-up and 18 month appointment. The kidney check-up was an ultrasound, and Vita was miserable during almost all of it. She was very scared, and I had to hold her down so they could get the pictures they needed. The guy who started off doing it asked another person to do it midway through. A young mother came in and she was much better at the process. Vita was a little more receptive with her. After the ultrasound, we ate lunch at the hospital, and she definitely thought that was fun. Or was it all the attention she was getting from everyone around her? We will meet with the urologist in a couple of weeks to go over the results, but I'm not anticipating any issues. Unfortunately we have a new pediatrician because our old one moved away (back to Michigan), but the new doctor seems pretty cool. Vita had her 18 month check-up, and of course, had to get shots. So she wasn't too happy, yet again. The doctor said Vita looks great, and that this was one of the better 18 month visits she has endured (we talked about how every appointment as she gets older is more difficult, and she agreed that the 18 month age is the trickiest!). Vita's stats are 24 lbs. at 45% and 32 inches at 55%. Hopefully we won't have to go the doctor's office much this winter because she has tubes now. I, myself, had enough of doctors last week!

Vita's Stand Up Routine

I couldn't get the video the right direction, but it's still worth a view. It's hilarious to watch Vita crack herself up!

Halloween Play Date

Trick or Treat

Halloween was a big day this year. We started off the morning going to the park, and after nap, we trick or treated with Noble and Anna at the outlet mall. Vita would try to munch on every piece of candy after she received it. I had to throw her candy in another bag to stop her! During the day she dressed up as a pirate (see a full length picture of it on the previous post). That night, we dressed her up as a zebra and the family went out to a few neighbors' houses. Lisa took the picture (and she also gave V some Mardi Gras beads--she loves them) and Mike is in one of the pictures (on his new cement porch). Of course, this was the time all of the other trick or treaters came out, so we missed most of them at our own house. Just means more candy for us, I guess!
