Grand Rapids Children's Museum

Lance and I took the girls to the Grand Rapids Children's Museum for the first time on Saturday. Gracelyn had such a great time. There was so many fun things for her to do.

There wasn't a lot for Myla to do, she enjoyed relaxing in her stroller watching all the excitement.

Myla Mae is 10 mths old!

Myla is 10 months old today!

New things she is doing this month:
-She started taking quite a few steps on her own.
-She FINALLY figured out how to use a sippy cup.
-Claps all the time. Loves to play patty cake and clap and roll her arms round and round.
-Started signing "milk" pretty good. She is doing " more " pretty good now to.
-Cut another top lateral tooth, that makes 6 teeth total.
-Loves to pull Gracelyn's hair, Gracelyn's response to her " No myla mae that's my hair!!!!".
-Things she still loves to do: climb the stairs whenever she gets a chance, throws her pacifier out of bed every morning, loves to jump in her jumperoo, loves her blankie and pacifier at bedtime, still sleeps between 12-13 hrs and loves to give BIG wet kisses!!

Myla is a very curious little girl and always keeps us on our toes!!

Valentine's Fun!

Here are some pictures of Gracelyn and Myla enjoying some Valentine's activities. Gracleyn making her Valentine's and making some yummy Valentine's cookies on wooden sticks and Gracelyn and Myla opening their gifts from Grama and Papa and Aunt Shay Brooklin and Jeffrey. As you can see Gracelyn really enjoyed opening her Shrek DVD.

The Girls.

Here are some random pictures of the girls. Gracelyn and Myla posing with their new swim suits , Gracelyn looking cute before church one Sunday and Gracelyn cuddling with her monkey george.

Myla's 9 months old!

Myla was 9 mths old on the 13th. She has been doing so many new things lately.

She weighs 17 lbs 15 oz and is 28 inches.

She signs " more ". So far this is the only one that she will sign.

She waves " bye bye "or " hi ".

She has said " Dada " and " Mama " not all the time yet.

She is a great eater, trying lot's of new food. Her favorites are Bananas, Mashed potatoes and Cheerios!

She sleeps on average of 12hrs at night and takes 2 naps during the day.

She loves to listen to music she claps her hands and bounces up and down.

She is standing all by herself she hasn't taken a step on her own, just cruises along the furniture and her walker.

Loves story time every week.

Play's peek a boo with her blankie all day long!!

She has a great arm on her, every morning and after nap time when I get her out of bed she has thrown her pacifier in the middle of her room. Not sure why she does this, maybe I can try getting rid of it!!

Myla loves to play what ever Gracelyn is playing with. Everyday we get to have lessons in SHARING with Gracelyn! Gracelyn is usually pretty good playing with Myla, but she does have her moments.

Myla is such a fun baby, she is always happy as long Mom or Dad is close by!

Silly Girls!

Gracelyn came downstairs the other day with ribbons in her hands, she wanted them wrapped around her waist and head. She is so silly I don't know where she comes up with some of her ideas.


Myla has found a new love of Cheerios, I think she would eat the whole box if I let her!

Gracelyn pushing Myla around, Myla was having a great time.

Gracie making a mess eating her spaghetti. Spaghetti has been Gracelyn's favorite food since the first time she tried it, she would eat it everyday.

Snow Day

Yesterday we were snowed in, so all are plans were canceled. Gracelyn and I decided to try and play Candy Land that she got for Christmas. She had a lot of fun playing she didn't quite get the whole concept of the game, but she did good finding the colors to land on and counting.






I think she was having fun!!

Myla enjoying some prunes! Myla has had some issues in the bathroom department since she was newborn, so she has to have prunes every other day. She really likes them, I hate the BIG mess that they make!!



Gracelyn hiding under the table waiting to scare Lance when he got home from work. She loves to jump out and shout " BOO " at him every night when he gets home.
