Why do I even ask the question? The answer is: Yes it could, but I don't want to find out about it. The Dragon and I have both officially caught a 24 hour stomach bug. Luckily, I got it first and had a day or two to recover before being showered in vomit myself. Nothing says motherhood quite like willingly allowing someone to throw up on you. And if you don't believe me, just think of how much harder it is to clean carpet with a sick kid than to just throw your own clothes in the wash. 'Nuff said.
Things around the house have been nuts. Sometimes I feel like I'm living in the opening scene of Home Alone where all 56 relatives are stepping over each other trying to get to the pizza and someone's mother is yelling about drinking the milk so it won't go bad. Then Audrey throws up on me. It's a nice reality check. But seriously, I started this post for a reason other than complaining.
Audrey had her 15 month check up today and I knew I wouldn't remember to post the stats if I didn't do it immediately...immediately after being thrown up on approximately 20 times and then putting the kid to bed. (Have I garnered enough sympathy yet?) ANYWAY. Lil A has had a pretty big growth spurt since her one year appointment. I gathered from the Doc that most kids' exponential growth starts to taper off around their first birthday, but not Audrey...she just continues to go higher off the charts. (What are freakishly tall parents for!) She is now 34 inches long and weighs 25 lbs. That's 3 inches longer and 2.5 lbs bigger than she was in July. This has to stop at some point, right? All I know is there are several 2-year olds that Audrey now dwarfs.
