Mwah

I'm a pretty laid back Mama. There's not much my kids (or any kids) do that flat out shocks me. But every once in awhile, I hear myself saying things that I never thought would ever come out of my mouth. Like earlier, when I told BigM,

"STOP kissing that cactus."

Cottontail

Oh how I love this little bunny booty!

Happy Easter!

Going to the Chapel

Just in case you wanted to know what we're up to this weekend:

It's going to be awesome. BigM wanted to make sure her teacher knew she will be missing school on Friday for my brother's wedding.  LM is also going to be a flower girl, which should prove to be interesting. She told DM's sister that flower girls are supposed to "butterfly skip and sing." I warned the bride-to-be.

Good luck with that, Sweet Caroline. xxxx Can't wait to call you my sister.

Player

I finally put the toys on the playmat. You can just tell she's thinking, "Thank goodness, Mom, this was the most boring toy ever." She's having an in depth conversation with the pots and pans.

Annnddd... while I was typing this, she rolled from back to front for the first time (I only know because I poked my head into the living room to check on her because it got really quiet, and now she's lying on her tummy. She is exactly 4 months and 1 week old.)

Apparently the pots and pans didn't respond to her liking.

Write on, Sister!

LM just wrote her name for THe first time (THat I've seen it.) She also mastered her "th"s THis past week, so we've been celebrating by saying all the "th" words we can THink of. THis is a big deal, and she is so cute! when she sticks out her tongue so far she's about to trip on it.

She THen repeats THe "th" word about THirty times in a row and we give a THousand high fives.

Way to go, LM.

(I totally took a picture of her name, like I did wiTH BigM.) Yep, I am THat mom.

MM had her 4 month appointment today- here are the stats. She's finally earned her "mini" status. At 4m, she's the smallest (shortest) of the mice, a sharp sharp contrast from her 2 month stats.

Weight: 13 lbs, 13 oz (51%)
Height: 23.75" (30%) ... she gets that from me
Head 16.5 (73%) ... big head? She gets that from LM haha

SURPRISE!

LM has really been clingy lately; I think it's due to a lot of different reasons, and when she woke up this morning she started crying because she didn't want to go to school.

I convinced her to get dressed and take her bookbag downstairs, eat breakfast and get her shoes on. She brightened up and decided to go when she remembered DM takes her to school on Thursdays.

We finally started brushing her hair and she got a little weepy again and said, "I'm feeling shy today."

(Which, in her language, translates to "I'm going be rude to everyone I see until I feel like being nice again.")

I asked her if I could send Ms. Melissa and Ms. Jen-Jen a message (to warn them!) so they would know not to talk to her while she was at school, and she said,

"No, I want it to be a surprise."

Betcha they can't WAIT until noon.
