TreeHouse Museum Fun


Nana & Papa got the kids a Tree House Museum membership for Christmas and today we got to go and use it! It was the best time we've had since it wasn't a discount day it wasn't packed like usual :) And now that the kids are a little bit older they have better attention spans and really get into the themes. We are so excited to go back again and again! Now enjoy 41 pictures :)

Their favorite exhibit is the firetruck

Tall & Skinny


Mia had her well-check today. Here are her stats:

Weight- 25lbs 27%
Height - 35in 80%
Head 18 3/4in 54%

She is still tall and skinny. Dr. Eberhardt joked that soon she'd be taller than me :) He knows she's eating enough because she's growing like a weed...she just burns off her food with all that energy!
Her ear drum still has the scab so we're going to see an ENT to rule out anything serious- they will probably irrigate it to get a better look and double check her hearing. Her Dr. is just being cautious- he thinks it's probably fine, especially since she can hear just fine.

Princess Mia is 2!


Today my last baby turned 2 years old! It has been an eventful year- I think she has the changed the most this year! She went from a little chubby kind-of baby to a lanky toddler with attitude and a huge vocabulary. We had her party with Grandpa & Grandma Kent, Aunt Erica & Uncle Lenny, and Uncle Derek. (Grana is in Hawaii on vacation and Nana and Papa face-timed her from Michigan!) She was so cute all morning she kept saying "I want to open my presents please!" Luckily her party was at 10:30 so she didn't have to wait long.

Nope- this isn't Mia- it's Tyler frosting her cake with pink icing! What a good daddy :)

The finished product

Her Princess decorations

Ta-da! The kids all had a sleepover at Grandma and Grandpa's so we decorated this morning before picking them up.

Mia was SO excited to see it was decked out Princess-style

Blurry but I had to keep it- you can see how excited she is!

She is reaching for her balloons

Looking at her princess cake and stuff!

This box is from Nana & Papa- it's bigger than she is!

She loves her bear! The shirt says MiaJolie :)

Here you can really see her shiner (she and Kyson collided while playing 'monster') She is opening Grana's present.

She loves new clothes!

She loves her "goggy" (doggy") She also got a cute outfit and puzzle.

Another big box from mom & dad- I love her feet in this pic.

Fun in the tent


Cute bear, dog and puzzle

She stuck her fingers right in the cake- I think she remember how we tried to get her to smash it last year :) Except then she wanted me to wipe her hand- she wouldn't lick the frosting!

Here she is blowing out the candles- dad had to show her how but she did it!

Pillow fight with Uncle Lenny! Except he didn't have a pillow with which to fight back!
