baby m is growing so fast..you started going up the stairs now, and you stand for a little bit. giselle loves to carry you around and rub her face on your belly to make you laugh. sometimes you love it, sometimes you cry. ma ma ma ma...like you want me to save you. I love breastfeeding you..you stick your fingers in my mouth, or when I pretend to eat them you smile up at me and laugh. its precious. you still sleep with us, and we just got a king bed, which makes it a little more comfortable. giselle is watching little einstiens right now..I can't even spell it.., and singing the song. giselle, you love doing everything yourself...seatbelt, dressing, pouring milk, cleaning your room...locking us out of your room. yes. you keep locking us out. I thought that would start as a teenager, not three! you watch ruby and max all the time..unfortunately Max is a baby and doesn't say much but one word comments and you have taken a liking to acting just like max..water.... ball..we keep saying we are taking that show away from you..somewhat funny, somewhat crazy.you are a little girl, so smart..we came home to get daddy and you said, but his cars not here..you are noticing everything. you said you like omis house the best. we went to arizona to see your family, and you got to spend time with GG. you asked why she had a candy cane.. her cane. and I traveled w/you and makena by myself on the way there. you were really good. and so was makena..we waited an extra day and changed the flight because makena had an ear infection, on the day we were supposed to fly, so I was nervous she could rupture her ear drum. she was fine, and I was obviously the nervous one, but stayed calm for you both. the other day giselle you woke up in th morning like at 530, saying you were hungry..hungry..wanting spaghetti...dad talked you in to an egg..which you only eat the middle of. you love eating pancakes. or the sugar off the pancakes. and the syrup. today you said something in spanish to me. which is funny because you have been going to school since 2 and you always say you don't know what I am saying to you when I say anything I know in spanish...I am thinking this is crazy that you are going and not learning any language. so I know you know something. makena your baby pictures look very close to grandpa larry's! but the cute girly version you are :). its unreal though. we got a good laugh over that. mommy loves you both with all my world and being. you are my joy and happiness, and I just want to keep you little with us forever to enjoy forever...I don't ever take any moment with you for granted. I enjoy every minute. love you. your mommy.

you two are so cute..and I feel like we are a show everytime we go out..not a great show but a shiz show (hahah). both of you want to be held at the same time, or you're running one way, and we can't keep up, or trying to shop,.oh help me. it's crazy, but fun. we have so much fun every day. I wake up and depending on the weather we just go about our day. we go to the farm at least once every couple weeks, or the zoo, or the beach.. or playground. you guys go everywhere. our summer has been busy and fun. we just got back from bend, coeur d alene and priest lake. lots of running around. lots of boating. g- you like to do everything yourself and you are starting to push it. like riding your bike really fast and downhills, and I will say stop and you keep going. I am going to have to reel you in a bit. today we all took a bath and you wanted to wash your hair by yourself and makena is just splashing by you and you are yelling at her not to wash your hair you are doing it by yourself. no makena, don't wash my hair. you get really frustrated if things aren't perfect. if you have a piece of toast that breaks, or if I bite something you want to eat..watchout..you freak out. but you have all these must be perfect things, as you walk around with a messy dirty face all day. no matter how many times I wipe it, you are dirty a second later. you love playing with makena and you jump all over her. I have to ask you to be soft daily. you are big time daddy's girl. if you fall, or when you wake up, or whenever, you want daddy. even if he punishes you, and I go to give you a hug you still want daddy. although if kendra wants to hold my hand, all the sudden you are all over me. my mommy. so...you still love me, you just take me more for granted. you asked y your flag wasn't flying, and then said I know because their isn't much wind. you are so smart. makena, daddy just told you to come to him and you did. you are understanding a lot and responding. you dance or bounce standing in the crib, and you know who is who. and look for them when I ask where they are. you despise your carseat, and scream bloody murder, but quickly calm. you say mamma and dada, and you wave to people hi and bye. and you crawl quickly and get up and down. you are so happy is crazy. you have five teeth..for awhile it was dracula, which was hilarious, and was going to be your halloween costume, then a new front tooth came thru..only one. so now daddy wants you to go as sloth. mommy isn't having it. but it's pretty funny. k,love you both! night night time.
