Happy Birthday, Dr. Suess!

Since we celebrated Dr. Seuss' birthday at school on Mar. 2, we had to celebrate at home too. Kimee and I did a Green Eggs and Ham skit and we had green eggs and ham for dinner. Fun times!

Kimee's School Birthday

Kimee got to celebrate her summer birthday at school last week. She was so excited about it!
She was excited to pass out her treats and to open her birthday bag from her teacher. It was a special day for Kimee.

Valentine's Day

The girls were so excited about Valentine's Day. They had fun and loved all the stuff they got!

It was so nice to have Valentine's Day on Sunday this year. I loved being able to do a few special things that I wouldn't have the energy for on a weekday. And I loved being able to spend the entire day with those I love most.

Maddilyn: 10 months

Maddilyn

10 Months 

February 13, 2010

Once again, Maddilyn is getting older and I just can't believe it. Two short months and she will be a year old. I'm guessing she will be walking before then. Right now she walks wherever she can, holding onto my pants, cupboard doors, stools, chairs, etc.

Maddi loves eating almost anything. Last night she ate her first potsticker! She still loves toilet paper. It's funny. When she gets a chance to sneak into the bathroom, she goes right to the toilet paper. In a hurry, before she gets caught, she stands up and takes a bite of the entire roll.

Maddi is still really easy going. She got an ear infection last week and was prescribed her first antibiotic. With Kimee and Audrey it was always a fight to take medicine. There were lots of attempts to disguise it in other foods and choking it down through a screaming fit. Not with Maddi. She's so good. I sure hope she stays this way.

The bigger girls always want to get in the tub with Maddi. I guess she's so much fun to be around. I think sometimes Maddi would prefer to be alone. Like in some of these pictures, which I am naming, Attack of Audrey. Audrey can be so sweet, but she can also be quite aggressive and strong.

Audrey's hair

Audrey's hair is so beautiful. Seriously. Its color, its soft, natural curl. It is just so pretty.
But when she goes to bed with it just a tiny bit wet, or if she gets a little sweaty while she sleeps, her hair turns into one of the best bed heads of all time. I think she could win a contest.

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth!

Kimee was dying to loose her two front teeth by Christmas so that she could sing this song. They were pretty loose in December, but came out the end of January. They were both just hanging by a thread. Finally, on the evening of Jan. 24, she tried to straighten one and it came out. I tried to convince her to let me pull the other one out so that she could lose both teeth on the same day, but she wouldn't let me. So the second one came out when Kimee wiggled it the next morning, Jan. 25.

Less than two weeks later, you can really see both front teeth coming in.
