Easter 2011


Easter was SO fun this year- it started out with a couple of Easter Egg Hunts-
(Here's Mia, the boys wouldn't let me get a pic!)

Here they are on Easter Morning: Mia is not sure why it's such a big deal

The boys
Kaden all dressed up in his Easter clothes- very dashing:

Kyson wouldn't sit still for a good pic- actually Kaden was the only cooperative one. Here he is looking dapper:

And of course, princess Mia. She always loves to get dressed up but wouldn't smile because she was too tired:

She finally smiled after church because Daddy snuck her home to have a nap in between :)

Happy Easter, everyone!

MiaJolie's 15 month check-up


Mia had her 15 month well check today- we waited about 45 min for the Dr. and she was so hilarious the whole time- rearranging furniture, finding left-by-other-kid toy cars and pushing them around the room (in her diaper), opening and closing every cabinet 3 times, getting spun on the Dr.'s stool (Yeah I know that's how Ky broke his arm- we were careful!!!), and when the Dr. finally found us she was laying on the tile floor- out of ideas and energy.
She certainly keeps me busy- luckily I have her brothers to entertain her a lot of the time. She always has to be doing what they do- she plays 'fight' with action figures, swings swords and 'shoots' lasers (she says"pshew, pshew, pshew!"), she has this weird and constant affinity for stuffing all of the zu-zu pets and toy dog into the toy kitchen's washing machine. She is also very girly- she LOVES putting on and taking off jewelry & hair bows. She LOVES shopping for clothes and then wearing them- especially dresses.
She doesn't say too much that we understand, and isn't a fan of repeating after us, but she understands what we say to her about 90% of the time (i.e. where's your baby? let's go bye-bye, get your jammies on etc...) She babbles to herself a lot and does say "mama, dada, yes, that, doggie, hi", and some animal noises. And the other night Tyler asked her if she was going swimming and we swear she said, "swimming, mom!" as she grabbed my legs to pick her up and go.
We love her to pieces- she is so sweet and snuggly all of the time! She is our little princess and she knows it :)
Her stats:
Weight: 21 Lbs 3.5 oz (25%)
Height: 31.25 Inches (75%)
Head: 18.75 (90%)
Dr. says she looks beautiful and healthy (though we will keep an eye out to make sure her body grows into her head...)
