Yogurt & Sickies

I have to say Moo has finally been sleeping much much longer stretches. Lets just say she can go from 7:30pm-7:30am and it has happened in our house more than once lately. Hoping it continues. Here she is after eating yogurt with a spoon.


Even though Moo has been sleeping well, poor Emmi has been sick off and on this week. She has had a stomach bug which has resulted in her getting sick many times and missing a day of school. It is really a sad sight to see your 3 year old sitting on the floor with her arms resting on the toilet after being sick just not wanting to walk away yet. She has fallen asleep in my arms most afternoons this week as well as slept with me while Jacob slept in her bed at night.

Cousin Beau is in town so he immediately got down to play playdough with Emmi. Not the best picture but at least Emmi had fun.

Dentist x's 2

The girls had their dentist appointments today. Moo's first time. While Emmi was a pro as usual. No cavities and good to go. Moo has a cavity. One of her top teeth is really 2 teeth fused together. So where they join is softer than usual teeth which is why she already has a cavity there. So she is going to be getting her first filling in a month. Then he said once her permanent teeth come in she may have two teeths but they are not usually fused. At that point in time they will usually pull one.

Here is the big girl.
This one was not as happy but they did a little brushing and counting of teeth

Doc, Trips & Parks

Moo went to the doc and weighed in at 22lbs and was 28 1/2 inches long. Great overall visit.

Then, while the Daddy has been away in Boston (yes he got on a plane) we have had beautiful weather. Here are the pics of what we have done:

Moo is attempting to copy the big kids by climbing on the wall.
Going down the slide with Emmi right behind her.
Then she was swinging with her friend Sawyer, this is Griffins little brother who is 4 months younger than her.
Emmi is too cool now to swing in the little kid swings as we have gotten new swings at the playground.
Then she checked out the tunnel.

First Birthday

Here is what we were blessed with one year ago. Our precious Moo Moo. A low key little girl who definitely made us realize every kid is different. I kept picking her up to hold her upside down in front of my belly to tell her where she was one year ago. She just laughed and laughed.

Even though she still doesn't sleep through the night she still is a keeper. She is cruising slightly, won't walk if you hold her hands. But she can stand on her own and will randomly. She has never had formula or jarred baby food. She eats pretty much what we eat. Echoing people is what she is into lately. Loves to move to the music when we have it on. She loves cars and people spoiled her with plenty of them for her birthday.
We had a party with our friends and served tacos.
The kids had carrot cake cupcakes and the adults had Tres Leches cake.

Emmi & Jacob picked out the balloons which included a TinkerBell balloon. We also had Paul Frank napkins.

We had left over frosting which Emmi definitely enjoyed.
Here are all the cousins at the party.

Park day

The weather has been awesome in the 60's and 70's. We headed to the park with Lala & Jack and Patti & Jayden & Carden. The kids had a blast. Marli was so dirty when she got home. Here she is playing on the slide.
Here is Emmi on the plane.
And this was the picture she posed for and told me she wanted me to take.
While we were playing Moo decided what we were doing wasnt good enough for her so off she went.
Had to take a break.
Then the same day the kids went to play with their cousins. They were given a bounce house so all the kids got in on the action. Moo is used to it since Emmi usually bounces in Marli's crib with her.

Gimpy Crawl

It is hard to explain how Moo crawls. She started with the army crawl, and morphed into what we call the gimpy crawl since it is really all one arm one leg action.


She will not walk if you hold her hands or even stand. She immediately sits. But she will cruise around the furniture a little bit. So we are thinking she is going to be one of those that just gets up and walks without warning. Although like you can see in the video she is starting to do the look under the legs thing.

Hair Cut & others

Alana and Chloe came down for a visit. We weren't able to get many pics since they both came down with a stomach bug while here. :( But Alana was able to cut Emmi's hair.
We have been into smoothies lately. Moo even gets in on the action although a little messy sometimes.

Moo also loves playing in the plastics cabinet. However we now not only have plastics in there but we have started to use glass jars to store food. It can make it interesting sometimes.

Today while I was doing laundry Emmi found a new place to hide.


Emmi has a new boyfriend. Her friend Robert in school has made a move on her and booted Griffin out. Today she came home with a Valentine that said "Emmi loves Robert". He also gave Emmi a pink matchbox car and green necklace last week. We have been laughing at the stories the teacher will tell us or his grandma will share. Like Robert refused to wear a red shirt the other day because he said Emmi would think he was handsome in his green shirt. I think we are in trouble.
