And here's my beautiful mom on Mother's Day, the reason I am who I am and my inspiration for being a good mom :) I love you mom!
A random pic of daddy/daughter tv cuddle time
And classic Mckayla stealing my shoes and wearing them around. I tried to get her walking in my tennis shoe that is by her door here but she heard me and as soon as she sees the camera she FREAKS and wants it, so I had to be sneaky to get this!
On Sunday my parents came over and Mckayla and my dad spent a lot of time looking out the window at the birds and squirrels!! Mckayla is obsessed with birds lately so she's always wanting to look or go outside to see the "brr's" as she calls them!
Emily was tickling Mckayla
They were being so funny playing with Mckayla's house toy, they kept peeking through the door and being so silly hiding and giggling.
Emily took a little break to sit on zebra and I thought she looked so cute just sitting there like this!
Then they had a little tea party!
Emily was serving us some tea too!
And this pic was from earlier in the day when we got home from Target after I'd bought some big tubs to store her baby clothes in. She would throw all her pacifiers and the kitchen towel in the tub, want to get in there with it all (which she thought was hilarious), then she'd throw everything out, want out of the tub, and repeat this process over and over.
Takng a drink break
Cookie face!
Sweet baby Madison
I loved getting such good snuggle time!
Abbey had just kissed Mckayla's finger and thought it was so funny!
Playing with Abbey's frog/snake collection
Madison even got to play too!
Look at this cutie!!!
They loved playing together!
Here's a video clip of Mckayla tickling Madison:
All the girls!!! With Mckayla tickling Abbey :)
She also loves to help clean out the dishwasher, even though it is a bit scary when she's holding all the breakable dishes!
She was in the corner where all her toys are and she was being so quiet so I peeked over there and she had picked out all her little people and lined them up on the futon arm
And here's a little clip of her new favorite word..."No!" While it's nice she can tell us what she wants and she says it in such a cute way, sometimes it's not so cute to here "no, no, no" to everything!!!
I put a bunch of crackers in one of the egg halfs and she carried that thing around forever munching on those things!
Most exciting was the playhouse his parents got for her! Chris and Tom had to put it together in the garage since it was a rainy day because I wanted Mckayla to be able to check it out as soon as it was ready! She loved the working doorbell, she would ring it, go inside, come back out, ring it again, and repeat that process.
She liked opening and closing the shutters on the window too.
She got really excited when she peeked in the window and saw the inside!
It's so cute on the inside, it has a "fireplace" (sticker) a sink, a table, a clock with moveable hands, and a phone that makes sounds.
No visitors please! Chris's mom tried to go in once and Mckayla said "no, no, no" until she came out! I guess she knows it's her house!
She didn't scream and cry like she did with Santa! Just some really sad whimpering and reaching for me. Then we got home and I saw a big box on the front porch and knew immediately what it was....the table and chairs set I ordered for her!!! I was planning on waiting until her birthday to get her one, but she's been showing signs that she was ready for one a lot lately. It's hard to tell by the picture but it's a really soft pink color and it's real wood so its very heavy and sturdy. I put it together while Mckayla napped.
When she woke up the first thing she asked for was Ra-ra (a.k.a. Elmo) so I let her hold a dvd case then we made our way to the living room for the surprise. Daddy even brought in her tea set to make it complete! She loved it! (but wouldn't let go of the Elmo dvd)
Making some tea:
I love this one because she really looked like she was trying to pour the teapot!
So the table was a hit and she kept setting her snacks and books up on it all evening. Then it was on to her other favorite activity as of lately; being a human sprinkler with her sippy cup. Now the million other times before when she does it I get on to her and/or take the cup away when she spits the water and soaks herself but this time I just gave in because it was way too funny to resist. At one point I tried to say no but it was futile. I just have to stick a bib on her and hope to protect her clothes somewhat from a complete soaking (this time it didn't work at all)This was definetely one of those nights when we really didn't even want to put her to bed because she was being soooo cute and so much fun!
