Brrrr! What a change in weather we have had in the last week. We are all adjusting around here to warmer clothes and the real kicker for the little people.....SOCKS! Haddie just wants to eat them, and Danika just wants to wear her sandals:) We've had to add an extra 5 minutes to our morning just for getting on our 'gear'!
Haddie continues to be on the move...and FAST when she'd determined. Notice the sequence below. Her favorite place to go?!?! Straight to Danika's dollhouse...
Here I come!
"No, no Haddie!"
Well, if I can't have my sister's toys, why don't I just head on over towards the stairs! Up went the baby gate this week...no fun for any of us, but obviously a necessity.
Danika is really into imaginative play, more than ever lately, and she will keep herself entertained and busy for a long time playing with her dolls, babies, 'friends' etc... Usually they are doing things that she is up to (like pooping in her pants- she'll say "Uh oh baby, you pooped your pants again...that's OK, accidents happen":) OR things that she seems mom doing....
This is the "What? Isn't this normal? What's the big deal mom, I'm just pumping my milk for the baby?!?!" look:)
Last weekend the girls and I ventured to Eleva to visit our friends Brianna and her kiddos Avaya and Graeden...We headed to Schultz's barn to pick some pumpkins and see the animals.
Danika enjoyed feeding the goats...
Riding the 'train'...
And picking out pumpkins...she kept choosing the littlest ones. I tried to talk her into a big one to carve, but she just had her eyes set on the minis:) So, I got a few big ones just in case, and we may just have some painted, decorated pumpkins this year:)
We also celebrated our church 'grandma' Pat's birthday by having a nice supper and cake at the farm:)
Our mini-me Daren enjoying her bath time!
While Dad was busy working nights (yes, still!!!) we kept busy with activities at home. Danika helped me make some chocolate chip cookies and learn that the hard work paid off and it was worth the wait to get to lick the beaters at the end:)
Ms. Imagination having a camping sleepover at a water park (yes, you read that correctly) on the deck with Dora and Boots:)
Seriously kid, STOP growing!!!!! Love this little bug to pieces:)
Haddie is....crawling, pulling herself up, eating breakfast, lunch, dinner as well as puffs and banana pieces for snacks, smiling, screaming, singing, jumping (in her jumper), sucking her thumb, rolling every which way, sitting up, stealing her sister's toys, drooling, and chewing on everything and ANYthing in site! She still has just 2 bottom teeth, but a 3rd one on the bottom doesn't seem too far off! At her 6 month checkup (which was really 6 1/2 months) She was nearing 17 pounds- She's still in about the 80th percentile for height and weight as compared to other 6 month old. She had to get 4 shots:/ but took them like a champ. Danika even laid on the table and took her flu shot pretty well too!
This weekend was family filled fun on the farm Saturday- Connor and Madeline made the trip up so we went to play with them for a bit...Uncle David got more than he bargained for when all 3 kiddos wanted a ride in the combine:)
Hanging out in the warm truck with the aunties and Madeline:)
Today was another special day with family as Granny came down to visit for a bit and we met her and Great Grams for lunch at where else, but Culvers:) Then for an extra special treat they came back to our house and Danika got to choose who read her a book for nap time- To no ones surprise, she chose Grams...She also insisted that Grams lay down by her in her bed:)
Well, that's all she wrote for this blog- Daren's on his way home and it's time to soak up some majorly missed dad time:) This week he should be finishing up with this harvesting business at Pioneer and we'll get him back- We are ALL looking forward to having him done and getting back in routine. Danika has been SO out of sorts without him. Many a night we've had a major meltdown, tantrum, lots of tears or just plain not herself. That girl has missed her #1:)
Dummer....Out....
