Bristol had her 18 month check up this week. She's actually 19 months, but that's when we could fit it into our schedule. She's 26 pounds and 33 inches tall. She's in the 75th percentile on all of her measurements.
She's changing everyday. And, talking so much more. We might not be able to understand her, but she's gibber gabbering. Here are the words that she can say:
Momma
Dadda
Pa Pa
Peyton (very mumbled - maybe on purpose...ha!)
Milk
Juice
Thank you
Please
Havick
Gracie
Bye
Night Night
Baby
She blows kisses, waves good bye, gives a high five, gives hugs and is just simply adorable.
She is running and walking all over the place. And, she's a climber. That trait is from Rob for sure.
For the most part her personality is very laid back. She does get angry at Peyton, but it's justifiable.
Lately she' s been a bit clingy, but I think it's trying to compete with big sis for attention more than anything. She now realizes that if she cries she gets it quicker - like picking her up. So, yes, she's learned how to manipulate me. LOL!
I predict that she will be full on verbal by her 2nd birthday. It's all going to come together these next few months.

March 2011 trip to Florida
Bristol was in love with the Fountain in the backyard. In fact, she would walk over and try to lick the water like a dog. Fortunately, Grandpa kept it pretty clean.
Breakfast of Champions! Homemade waffles with fresh strawberries. I think "Foodie" could get used to living in Florida so Grandpa can continue to feed her.
I titled this picture "Bribery." Grandma busted out these little animals that pooped candy. Yes, pooped candy and very annoyingly said "Happy Easter." I called this Bribery because she gave them to Peyton and then snuck around behind her and cut her hair. Yup. First officially hair cut that was not done by herself was by Grandma. Peyton was pretty unfazed by the whole thing (due to the pooping animals.)
When in South Florida, you have to visit the beach. Both girls loved it. We went to a lagoon off the Intercoastal and then had a blast. The water was freezing, but you would only know that when their lips turned blue. We definitely have water babies on our hands.
Let's get this going! I'm ready with my duck float.
Grandma and her precious Grandbabies!
Grandpa came to the beach too. Spending quality time with Grandma and Grandpa. Peyton was soaking up the extra attention. Bristol on the other hand wouldn't come out of the water. So much relaxation for Mommy - NOT!
Typical vacation photo!
They had more fun with the blow ups at home then at the beach. Notice they are both in Little Mermaid outfits. See the theme?
Grandpa is always good for a bowl of ice cream. Peyton has belella (vanilla.)
Who me? Yes, me. I know, I'm pretty flippin' cute!
Skyping with Daddy. The girls really think he's a computer. Can't wait until he gets home in April and experiences all the girls have to offer.
Final photo of the weekend. Kind of sums it up. Bristol was an angel and had a wonderful time. Peyton was a little sassy and off schedule. She wasn't to keen of sharing Mommy with everyone.The Kantis Wedding
What a great weekend. Nikki was gorgeous. She looked amazing. Dean is a fabulous guy who adores my step-sister. I'm so happy we made the trip down.
Cousin Nick with little Peyton. 
Peyton was obviously obsessed with her "Princess Dress." After the wedding she had a breakdown because she wanted to get married to a Prince!
We were smart and waited until we got to the church to put their dresses on and their hair bows. This was the "perfect" moment. After this picture she was on the loose.
This is kind of the way the whole day went with the wedding. Bristol wanted to be held and have all the attention while Peyton was not happy with that. Peyton was not in good spirits the whole day. She was out of sorts. It was fun balancing the two :)
Momma and her little girl!
This was the best picture out of like 10. And, yes, we are sitting on the church floor. The only way I could get them to sit side-by-side. Grandma bought them the adorable matching dresses. They worked perfectly with Nikki's colors.
The beautiful bride and her Daddy.
The happy, married Nikki Kantis! Dean was obviously overwhelmed with emotions that he couldn't even open his eyes.
The very happy new couple - Mr. and Mrs. Kantis!
Here's the entire family. Dean, Nikki and Preston. Peyton and Bristol officially have a new cousin.
All the ladies! Molli, Ella, Nikki, Kelly, Petyon and Bristol.
Mike and some of his girls. Notice Princess Peyton and how she's holding her dress. Maybe she'll work at Disney one day. She was the stance down.
This was me the whole day - chasing Bristol. She was the social butterfly. Danced the night away with all the men on the dance floor and did her own thing. She really didn't look for me much. Only when she wanted to be held so she could stop looking at every one's knee caps.
Proud Father and Step-Mother of the Bride.
The gorgeous bride!
Sistas!
All 3 of us.
Bristol and Grandma. You can see that Bristol had been really enjoying the festivities of the night. Her hair is wild.
Dance time!
The "final melt down!" Peyton was tapped at this point so she decided to eat her cake on the floor. Whatever floats your boat. I thought for sure she would pass out on the way home, but she talked to me the entire 60 minute drive. ENTIRE time!
We left on Thursday afternoon and Peyton was a big girl who sat by herself on the aisle seat. Bristol and I were on the other side together. The girls were really good on the airplane rides. It is definitely intense traveling alone with both of them, but we made it!!!

Time is ticking away. It's amazing how busy we've been the last few weeks. For starters, I flew down to Islamorda for Steph May's beautiful wedding. I met Jessie in Ft. Lauderdale and we "Thelma and Louise'd" it down to the Keys. What fun. It was like we were in high school again. Lots of giggles and lots of great memories revisited and made. We had a good time.
So, that was the last weekend in February.
