Another Tea or "Hot Chocolate" Party


Tea Parties have become an every day occurrence in our house. It is the first thing Makenna wants to do every morning and that is usually how I get woke up (thanks a lot Gabe.) I decided to spice it up a little bit this time and we had real hot chocolate with water and milk to pour in our cups with Oreo's to eat....YUM! You can see a little hot chocolate moustache on Makenna in her pictures.....she really liked that hot chocolate even though it didn't mix real well. I mostly enjoyed the Oreo's. Hollis was a supervisor at our tea party and was a good sport while we had it. I can't believe Makenna actually let me take a picture of her......now we just need to work on the smiling.

Little Man is Growing!




So everyone has been harassing me for pictures of Hollis.....so here you go! Hollis had his 2 month check up today at the Dr. and everything is good. He said not to worry about his bowl legs or his problem with bowel movements. I guess not having a bowel movement for days for a breast fed baby is more common than people know about. He weighed in at 13.12 lbs (50-75%) and 25 3/4 in length (95%). Just a really healthy boy! He had to get 5 shots and this is why he has so many band-aids on his legs in the picture. He is a very happy boy and I tried to portray that the best I could in the video....enjoy!

You Can Fly, You Can Fly, You Can Fly!

Makenna loves playing the piano at Grandma Janie's house. She also loves the movie, Peter Pan. This is the best I could do for getting her on camera singing....you can fly, you can fly, you can fly! It was hard to be sneaky about it and not let her see me. The was an everyday thing....along with some Cinderella songs and Troubadour.

Makenna's First Tea Party



















Uncle Gabe got Makenna a Disney Princess tea party set while we were up in New Mexico this last week. She absolutely loves it and plays with it every day. Grandma Janie gave her real water to pour and a marshmallow for everyone's plate. Grandpa Russ made it even more fun by really getting into it! : ) Makenna loved that grandma, grandpa, and Gabe all sat down with her for some fun. When they aren't around she will sometimes get her dolls and set them up to have a tea party with her. She was given another tea party set from Alina's mom when she was first born that is so dang cute except that it is real porcelain and I don't want her to break it so we are saving that one for when she gets a little older. I don't think I ever had a tea party set when I was growing up but Makenna makes it look like so much fun!
