Mikaela Annette is 3years old!!!

Mikaela is now 3 years old. She had a big purple dinosaur party. It was awesome. We had a bunch of her little friends and a big purple dino bounce house. Mommy and Daddy even had a blast jumping too. I do have to say I feel like someone flipped the switch on Mikaela because it was like she grew 2 inches and an attitude over night.

Mikaela has not gained any weight from 2.5 yrs. She weight 27lbs and definitely grew over night from 35 .5 inches to 37.5 inches Amazing how she was wearing 2T jeans and in 2 weeks they were high waters on her.

Mikaela is growing leaps and bounds in all areas. she makes up songs. constantly pretending to be some animal at least four or five times a day.

" Mommy what am I?" " Um a rino" " no that's Silly, I'm a armadillo" or better yet lately it has been a turtle a triceratops a gecko or a hella monster. I LOVE IT!!!.

Today we played dinos we pretending to be them and played with toy dinos. Well she pretended to be a dead dino and I had to eat her; or we had to make our dinos fight and I had to fight and eat her.

Las night while I was feeding Molly and daddy was cleaning up Mikaela was flipping throuhg the One Step Ahead catalog. She was pointing out and asking for stuff even the dogs that were used as models in the pictures. Oh boy!!! She is shopping for stuff. better yet she asked us for a dog.

No we are not getting a dog anytime soon but someday I guess. Matt said it has to be over 30lbs he wants a really dog I want a dog with hair and nor fur.. So I suggested a Great Dane and we could name his scooby. Mikaela could ride him like a pony.

Mikaela is definitely getting smarter and more kaniving. She blames everything on the cat and Daddy. She says nothing when you ask her what she is doing and if she knows that she didn't ask or shouldn't even be doing it.

Tonight she turned the TV on with out asking and when she played with the buttons she got a channel of snow. Because she had played with the volumes buttons it was super loud. She was shhing the TV as if I couldn't hear what she was doing. She was panicking telling the Tv and pushing buttons as if to quiet it down and not get caught. So once she noticed I was looking at her form the kitchen she backed away and screamed oh no mommy the TV is exploding I didn't do it. I love her spirit, but oh boy!!! My trouble maker and I love her for it.

P.S. This was the first birthday party where Mikaela opened her gifts up with out help and blow out her candles on her own too. sniff sniff. She is officially a little girl now

Molly is 8 Months

Molly is now 8 months old and had 6 teeth. in a matter of mere 4 days Molly cut 4 new teeth. Poor thing!! She was a trooper though. She did have a few nights of crying in the middle of the night but they were short lived and she went right back to sleep However, this cause a new disturbance in our happy nursing relationship;She bites! I still plan on nursing her right until 1 yr old but her lunch time feeing and supper time feedings are now replaces with formula. I am ok with this because I found a formula that is for 9 -24mos and I think that I will be continuing it through to 24mos.

Molly is still just Molly Dolly. She hasn't made any realy big changes. She shakes a toy like crazy if it is put in her hand. She does knock toys off her high chair tray. Makes much more noise. Can let you know what she wants to play with and get excited to eat when she sees a bowl and spoon and or her bottle.

She is a big hair puller. Poor Mikaela has had to peal her sister out of her hair on her own a few times and it is funny to hear.

Molly loves to watch her mobile spin and she knows how to tell you turn it on and loves the ocean. She also know how to tell you take me to the water.

She knows what it mean when you say give kisses because she will open her mouth to yours and either lick you to death or sing in your open mouth. She loves to talk into my open mouth like a little bird. I swear she is going to be a singer.

Molly Dolly is 7 months old!!!

Just for fun..

So just for fun here are a few pics. Mikalea made a crab one day for with Mommy . She refused to take her picture this was the best I could get. The next pic is of Mikalea stealing a bite of Daddy's birthday cake. She thought we were not looking but of course we told her to do it again so we could get a cute picture. Then we have a pic of the backyard just for fun. We are begining to love our yard the more we do to it. This picture was from our patio. The last picture is Mikaela being a dalmatian. She was drawing on the white board with a marker but then I looked over my should while making dinner to see her taking her dress off. Oh low and be hold she drew spots on her tummy and ran over to us to bark. She was a spotted doggie she said. OH BOY!!!. So glad it was dry erase marker because those come off easy with baby wipes. LOL ENJOY!!!

Molly is 6 Months old

My baby girl Molly Dolly is now 6 Months old. We got her ears pierced a few weeks ago. She is starting to lift her head while on her tummy a lot better now. Still working on grabbing and sitting. She finally stands with support but not for long. She eats stage 1 baby food like a champ. Loves to look at books and squeals as loud as she can to get everyone's attention. When I say squeals I mean squeals WOW!!!!. She loves to play with her spit and blow tons of bubbles. She can soak 4 onsies a day.

we don't have a Dr's appt until the end of the month. Dr. Martenson is booked with new babies. Well just say alot of new babies were born in our office the same month so we have to wait our turn. We did weigh Molly yesterday and she is about 19lbs.I have yet to measure her.

Oh yes Molly also has 2 bottom teeth.

Enjoy the pics she getting to look more and more like a little girl along with her own personality .

OMGoodness!1 She is 5 months Old ...

My little gnome.. a Sweater 3-6 but way to snug on the poor thing. it was too cute not to take a pic

This was today at dinner yakking up a storm

Molly is 5 months old. well on the 15th of May she as 5 months old... Not really anything new with Molly. She doesn't do to much yet.. Today as the first day she really started making herself known in the house. She has been squealing hen she is tired and laughing at Mommy now. She only laughed at random things Mikaela has done. She chatted a storm up at the dinner table tonight and I got her laughing her contagious baby laugh that deems to be on you tube with the rest of the contagious baby laughing video clips. She is quite plump and is wearing 6-9 and some 12 month clothes. Thunder thighs.. Takes after her mommy already.. HeeHee but my thunder thighs are disappearing due to her ravenous appetite. Now I just need to focus on making my body strong again.

Molly's hair is filling right in. I actually trimmed her ducking fuzz on the back of her head a bit. She had little knots in it. She only has that row across the back of her head of fuzz left for baby hair. She has bit of a Mohawk too; she has alot more hair in the center of her head then anywhere else on her head. she is beginning to look so much more like a little girl. I cannot wait for her hair to grow in and I can put pig tails and braids in it.. all in due time. I am enjoying every moment with Miss Molly Dolly and Mikaela.

She is expecting a tooth. We can see it and feel it but it hasn't cut the gum yet poor thing. She is also trying to roll over. She is sitting up As little better but not quite there she still slumps to the side a bit.

Speaking of Mikay she is so spirited. I love it. She walks around with various little animals or stuffed animals playing mommy and baby. Loves her doll house to pieces and looking for bugs outside. My favorite phrase lately of her is " my only ever perfect one ever" I love it. Oh yeah and her " you need me" when she really means I need you to help me. We always answer her yes K we do need you. Potty training is taking it course. She is definitely in charge of when she wants to do it. Once day it's I want to wear panties and the next it's I want to wear a diaper. i am just following her lead but it is tireing. She definitely controls it because her new thing is wanting to watch her self tinkle and stop it. She likes to fool us in order to get a marshmallow. she will sit on the potty tinkle; but just enough to make noise and say she did it. We caught on to that fast, needless to say she still tries to fool us. She goes when we ask but rarely tells us. it is what it is. She do it when she is ready.

I don't have many more new Pics of Mikaela because she hides when I have the camera out
