Today the house we are renting had a showing in the afternoon, so we decided to get out and go to Jungle Java. It is a huge coffee/snack shop with lots of jungle gyms and play activities for children. This one recently opened in Clinton Township. The past few times we went there was hardly anyone there, but today it was loaded with children everywhere! We probably won't go again on a weekend when the kids are out of school.
Here are some pictures from today. I realize you can't see Alek and Dane in all of the pictures, but you get the idea of what it looked like inside. Dane loves it here and gets super excited when we tell him we are going =)

18-19 Month Milestones for Dane
18 Months - very independent. Wants to feed himself and I can’t even have my hand near his plate or he will get mad and push it away.
18 Months - gives kisses with a smacking sound
18 Months - notices when things are not right or are confusing - will give you the “what the hell look.”
18.5 Months - started saying “No” and sometime it is “No! No! No!”
19 Months - started saying “me, me, me” if he wants something that I have when we are playing together.
19 Months - will say “poop” when he poops, but if I ask him if he wants me to change his diaper he will tell me no and run away.
19 Months - does not like the feel of a wet diaper. Will squat and pull on the diaper like he is uncomfortable.
19 Months - peeing larger amounts at one time so controlling bladder muscles more.
19 Months - separation anxiety kicking in towards me. I can't leave him with anyone without him crying and saying, "whe momma ah?" (where's mommy at?)
19 Months - learned to climb baby gates

18 Month Videos
This past weekend I went to a Mom-to-Mom sale and found this toy horse for $5. What a deal!
This fish was in the basement and we finally put batteries in it. Dane had just woken up from his nap, so he was a little shy.
Every night while I am getting dinner ready and afterwards, he pulls up a chair and tries to do the dishes. A lot of the time he just plays in the water with cups and gets all wet. We are going to remind him 10 years from now how much he used to beg to do the dishes.
Another chore he begs to do and yes, we will remind him of this too =)

Drill Weekend
This weekend Alek had drill in Ishpeming, so Dane and I were able to visit grandma and grandpa in Da Soo. He had loads of fun! We went swimming at the Park Inn (they have a nice, warm salt water pool), we went to the Bahweting carnival and Dane won cookies on the cake walk, we went to church where Dane was able to play on his favorite toy- the spring horse, and we went to the gym at LSSU so Dane could run around and play his current favorite sport - basketball.
Alek came to the Sault Sunday night and just the two of us went out to eat at the Palace Salon while grandma and grandpa watched Dane and got him ready for bed. It was so nice to go out on a "date" together as we have not done it since our aniversary in December. Thanks mom and dad!
Dane is 18.5 months old.
