11 Months Old

Yay!!! Can you believe it? I'm 11 months old!!!

Where has the time gone? Where is my little baby? He is being replaced by a sweet, adorable, smart little boy. I just can't believe he is almost a year old. He is crawling all over the place now and is getting very fast. He loves to follow Makayla around the house. He can now pull himself up to standing. He says mama and dada. My favorite thing is when I am holding Makayla and Kyle gets very jealous. He comes over to us and pushes Makayla while saying, "Mama, mama!" He still laughs all the time. It is not real hard to make him laugh which makes us all feel very good. Kyle loves to scream. We will play a game where he will scream and then I will scream. Then he screams even louder. He tenses his whole body to get the biggest and loudest scream possible. It is hilarious. I wouldn't be surprised if the neighbors hear this game. He gets cuter and cuter every day and we love him so much!

Tea Party

The next two weeks are spring break for Makayla so we have been trying to come up with fun things to do to fill the time. The weather isn't really cooperating with us so we decided to have a tea party.

Makayla helped plan the menu and also helped make the food. We decided to have pink lemonade, peanut butter sandwiches, fruit and fruit dip, and pink cupcakes for dessert. Makayla was most excited about the cupcakes. She put the sprinkles on all by herself.

Makayla invited her two best friends Lynnie and Madison. All morning long she kept asking me how much longer until she they would get there. About every minute she would ask, "How much longer mom?" Finally at about 10 minutes to go she came into my room with the saddest look on her face. I asked her what was wrong and she told me, "I just know they aren't coming!!!" Poor thing. Finally the time arrived and they both showed up. Makayla was so excited. They had their tea party and then proceeded to take every toy that Makayla owns out. Luckily Makayla had two great helpers to help clean up afterwards. It was a wonderful morning full of fun. There is nothing better than knowing that your child is happy!

Guess who got her ears pierced...

MAKAYLA!!!

A while ago Makayla wanted her ears pierced. I told her that was fine but it feels like getting shots in her ears. Of course she decided against it just like I thought she would. Then I came up with the great idea that she could get her ears pierced whenever she wanted too. I told her again that it hurts and feels like shots. I didn't think she'd want to do it for a long time like years!!! In fact just the other day she said she didn't want to get them pierced until she was sixteen. That made her daddy so happy. Last week we were talking and out of the blue she told me she wanted her ears pierced. This was on a Wednesday and I knew that by Saturday when we could go to Reno she would change her mind. Well, she proved me wrong. She sat in the chair, got her ears pierced and didn't even cry. I am so proud of her!!!!
