Ms. M is 14 months

Well, I guess she is closer to 14 1/2 but better late than never!  She is quite the mover!  She loves to run, climb, etc.!  She is still our adventurous one.  She loves to take things from Adah or from around Adah and run as fast as she can and hide it or herself from Adah!  She knows exactly what to do to make her sister mad and she thinks it is so funny!  I love that Michaela loves to go see Adah each time she wakes up!  Adah is the first person she wants to see.  She just wants me to get her out of the crib and put her on the floor so that she can run as fast as she can to Adah's door and will stand there knocking until I open then when I do she runs as fast as she can to climb in Adah's bed screaming with delight!  Michaela is such a smart girl!  She doesn't really say anything yet but will copy all the sounds we make.  She knows what eveything is if I ask her to go get somethign or point to something she knows exactly what I'm talking about.  She pretends to talk on the phone, brush her hair, put bows in her hair, etc.  I think she doesn't talk much bc Adah talks too much!  She is getting her 7th tooth right now.  She loves to throw her hands up when we say hip hip hooray or when we ask her how big she is.  She loves to clap!  If you ask her to get Adah's belly button she will run straight to Adah and poke her in the belly button.  She loves to tickle tickle tickle herself.  If you ask her if her pants are too tight she will suck in her belly and we die laughing!  lol!  She is growing so much!  She is in size 3 diapers and I'm not sure how much she weighs.  We take her to the Dr. on the 20th for her hip.  Her left hip is higher than the right and so they referred us out to a pediatric orthopedic dr!  We are hoping its nothing but going just to double check!  We love you little M so much!  You are still mommys little girl and you don't like it when mommy leaves your site!  You are such a joy to be around and you smile can light up a room!  You are our precious little baby and we love you soo so much!

Update!

I feel like there is never enough time to blog or catch up!  I guess when you have 2 little ones running you non stop you don't have time for much else!

Adah is still enjoying school and learning so much!  She is quite the talking and LOVES to sing!  Today I thanked her for being polite and she responded "I'm not snow white!  I'm sleeping beauty!"  She is too funny!  She has really gotten into dressing up lately and I love it!  She also really loves baby dolls!  She hugs them, comforts them, puts them in time out, changes their diapers, puts them to bed, prays with them, sings to them, etc!  She is such a good mommy!  She likes for me to call her mommy and says that I am not mommy, that I am ms. Amanda!  When I put her hair in a pony tail she says "i'm ms Amanda!" and when she wants to her hair in a pony tail she tells me that she wants to be ms Amanda!  She has such a great imagination too!  I have such a love/hate feeling toward the age she is right now!  She is learning so much and becoming such and amazing, beautiful, caring, loving, demanding, bossy, opinionated, stubborn, hot tempered little girl!  I just love her to pieces and get excited to spend each new day with her and see what she is going to say, do or learn next!

 Michaela is growing and learning like crazy too!  She loves to do what ever her sister is doing and also loves to do everything her sister doesn't want her to do!  She loves to carry purses!  She is a serious eater and sometimes I am afraid that she doesn't know when she is full!  She would eat all day if I let her!  She is finally getting more teeth!  She still favors her mommy!  She naps and goes to bed SO good!  She is super ticklish and loves to laugh!  She also loves to be chased!  She now knows what a cow and a sheep say and gets so excited when she makes the sound that they make!  I just love seeing her smiling face each morning and the excitement she gets when we head toward Adah's room each morning!  She wants a hug from mommy but then she wants to run to her sister's room and as soon as we open the door she squeals with excitement and runs straight to her bed!  I just love my girls!

We took the girls to their first circus!  They both loved it!  I think we are going to have to start going each year!

 The weather here has yet to get cold!  It has been absolutely perfect here!  Sunny and in the 70's!  Thats the kind of winter I like!  I'm glad it has been so nice bc the girls just LOVE to be outside!

 We have also been going to the zoo a lot which is one of the girls favorite things to do!

Happy 13 months Michaela!

Just wanted to make a quick post since Im so far behind on blogging to just remember a few things that M is doing this past month!

• clap on command
• went to her (and Adah's) First circus
• will hold up a 1 if you ask her how old she is...most of the time
• she will walk up and give you kisses if you ask her to kiss you...SOO Sweet
• she tilts her head back all the way if she wants more of something
• still only have 4 teeth

We love you so much Michaela!  

Pictures to come!

Happy First Birthday to my princess M!

Well Mickey Moo, you are already 1!  I can't believe how fast this year has gone!  You have changed our lives for the better and we couldn't imagine our life with out you!  You are quite the little mommy's girl but you sure do love your daddy and your sister!  Your little face lights up everytime you see them!  You scream really loud each morning as we walk in to get Adah up each day!  You are so much fun and you are soo different from your sister!  She was a talker and not a mover or adventurous and you don't say much but boy are you a mover and a dare devil!  You are always into something!  We celebrated your birthday a little early this year since your birthday is so close to Christmas and daddy's birthday that we decided to celebrate the sunday before christmas with your friends!  You are not a cake girl and not really much of a sweets girl at all!  You love to eat but just not sweets!  You could eat all day long if I would let you!  Here is a little of what you have been up to this past month:

• You really started to walk all the time around 11mths
• you love to stand on your head and look between your legs
• you got 2 teeth this month for a total of 4
• You LOVE to slide and swing and run around at the park with Adah
• you refuse to go down or up steps without holding someones hand!  You will stand there with yoru are up and scream and yell until someone comes to your rescue(which is usually Adah)
• You still don't say much.  You will occassionally say ma-ma and da-da and you say Uh-dah for Adah but you mainly still just grunt
• you point at everything
• you are SUPER ticklish and you LOVE to laugh
• You love to be chased and will giggle like crazy when Adah chases you
• You had your first Christmas that you were involved in but didn't seem to care about gifts but you soon will
• you climb onto and over everything

This year has been so much fun and I can't wait to see what the next years bring!  We love you mickey moodles!
