18 month check-up
Mabel had her 18 month doctor visit this morning.
She is 32.5 inches tall, putting her in 90th percentile for height. Head size as well.
26 lb 4 oz, 75th percentile for weight. The running around has been burning off her belly, even if she is a good eater.

Shades and park tutus
Getting Mabel ready for a trip to the grocery this morning:
Fortunately we talked her out of both the shades and the hat.
Later in the afternoon, I didn't even try to talk her out of a pair of tutus before heading to a neighborhood park:

Runny nose and attitude
It would seem that Mabel has indeed inherited some of her parents' personality traits, including a certain obstinacy. While it may some day serve her well, it will be a challenge for us.

New dishwasher time
Kate ran the dishwasher this morning while she and Mabel ran out and I worked. When they got back and the cycle had finished, we noticed a bit of water on the floor. Hmm...and it trailed back to the dishwasher. Alright, dried up the water on the kitchen floor, took off the base of the dishwasher and setup a fan. Annoying but done. I went back to work. A little later, Kate discovered even more water in the laundry room - under the dishwasher. Crap!
The old dishwasher is now out on the back-porch. A new one has been ordered, one that has leak protection mechanisms, but I don't yet know when to expect it. Paper plates for a bit while a couple fans do their work.

Paper towels - you rock
When I first moved to Seattle, I got a Costco membership. I ended up with gallons of ketchup and a pallet of paper towels and toilet paper among other things. And let my membership lapse. Kate moved out and we proceeded to move the remainder of those bulk goods for years, wondering who and how anybody could ever work through the crazy amount of goods the normal Costco member seemed to always have in their cart.
We now get it. People with kids can move though the Costco volume stuffs and even need to go back on a semi-regular basis.
Paper towels have become the new currency. Used for face/nose wiping, cleaning off the table/highchair/etc, dry milk off a dog that got sprayed while trying to pick-up under the eating-while-walking baby...a million and a half uses, almost all of which somehow seem to orbit around the baby.
Thank you paper towels. And thank you Costco for selling us so many for so cheap.
