Today was Caden's 15 month check-up. Yes, I know that he is 16 months old, but we had to reschedule one when we came to KY in August, so this is when it worked out to be. Caden is 31 inches, and 22 1/4 lbs. His height is in the 34% and his height weight is in the 14%. Still cracks me up how different his percents are from Corban, he never had anything below 75%. The doctor said everything looks good and Caden got 3 shots. One of them was the booster for his regular flu shot. They actually offered the H1N1, but I declined. I'm not against it, but he was getting 3 already, he doesn't go to school or daycare, and it's on the decline now anyway. My baby boy didn't make a peep when he got his shots. I don't thin he's ever really cried when he got them, but this time he honestly just looked at us. Again, much better than Corban's last shot. I didn't hold his hands tight enough when he got his flu shot last Tuesday that he reached for the thing and broke the needle. The nurse yelled at me and Corban freaked.

I'm hoping that Johnny will take Corban to go get our Christmas tree today. It's killing me that it's not already up and if we don't get it today it will be Sunday before we can. And at that point we will only have 2 weeks before we're leaving for KY. Maybe he can even get our outside lights up, I bought old school big colored lights for outside. For the last few years I've had lighted snowflakes, but they were crap and I didn't want to spend that kind of money again. I don't know about the rest of you, but I am sick and tired of spending money on stuff that doesn't last. And knowing that the same types of things (i.e. Christmas lights) used to last forever.

I also need a new crockpot. Does anybody have one that they're just in love with? I think mine that I melted might work, but I'm a little afraid to take the chance!

I have a Rival Crock Pot that Patrick got me for Christmas a few years ago and I LOVE it! It has a 'warm' setting you can use when your stuff is done, but you're not ready to eat.

I think it takes lots of talent to melt a crockpot. Congrats?

Oh, I've melted all kinds of things on the stovetop - cool whip bowls, plastic spoons, crockpots. I almost melted a tiny toy watergun last week!

Everything you mentioned is plastic. 'Cept that crockpot. I'm still impressed!
