Then on Wednesday our friends, Jenny and Chad, had a little baby boy. They named him Ike David(they had the name picked out well before the hurricane came along). So we went to visit them on Thursday.
On Friday Tom took the day off so we could all go visit our friend, Liz, and her three-week old little girl, Mackenzie Jane.
Saleema went to visit a mosque here in Appleton on Saturday evening. While she was there, she met one of many Pakistani families who invited us to their home on Sunday evening for dinner.
Since they live in Manitowoc, we decided to go visit some of our family. First we went to see Uncle David and Cousin J.J. I made him a little pumpkin hat on our drive there and put some straps on it while J.J. and Flora played. Next we had a nice, but short visit with Grandma Sharon and Grandpa Denny before we had to take off for Manitowoc to be on time for dinner.
Our dinner was quite good and the company was very interesting. We learned a lot about the different customs of the Islamic religion. There were several other Pakistani families there, along with some more babies for Flora to check out.
That was the end of "Baby Week"! So many babies, good thing one of them wasn't our new little one. We can wait until after Christmas for him or her!
Flora had her 18 month check up. She weighs 23 pounds(30th percentile) and is 33 1/2 inches tall(93rd percentile). The doctor gave her the once over and had no qualms, but did say inside her ears looked perfect! She also told me to expect the "Terrible Two's" to start before she's two. I told her they already were starting... :)
Have a great week! We'll be checking out Oktoberfest here in Appleton on Saturday.
