Mak's birthday & Eli's 1/2 birthday

Our girl is THREE!!! Makayla is counting, saying her ABC's, and knows her colors and shapes. She can say words in a few different languages. She can say Hello in Chinese; Hippopatamus in French (thank you Aunt DeeDee!); Hello, Goodbye, Let's Go, and some of her numbers in Spanish (and probably a couple other words I'm forgetting). She also knows a few Hawaiian words. She wants to watch their Baby Einstein DVD's in French and Spanish now. She still signs some. She doesn't use it as much as she used to though. I haven't counted, but I'd say she knows probably 75-80 signs. She sings daily. The other day she was walking around with a paper towel roll as her microphone. Wish I had a video of it! She started in the 3 year old program this week at the YMCA. She now goes 3 days a week for 3 hours. This week has been much better than when she was in the younger class!!

Makayla had her 3 year old checkup last week. Her doctor said she is perfectly proportioned at 29 lbs. and 37 inches tall. According to his calculations, he thinks she'll be about 5'4".

September 8



We took her to Chuck E. Cheese the night of her birthday for dinner and games. She had a great time!! That is after she had a fit about not being able to have a cupcake before dinner.

Elijah does not look thrilled!


Now, on to some rides. She loved this one. I think she rode it 4 times!




And she got just close enough to have her picture with Chuck E Cheese


A whole lotta sass!! No, there isn't a reason for the bandaids.


Elijah turned 6 months on Mak's birthday. He is growing like a weed! He is sitting up, rolling over and scooting in circles. Last week he tried his best to get his knees up in the crawling position. I don't know if I'm ready for him to be mobile!!

He had his 6 month well baby last week and is weighing in at 18lbs. 4oz. and is 26 in. (I think, I'll have to double check the paper work)

I should have taken a picture of Eli in this outfit without the beer bottle. He went crazy over this bottle!

Poor boy fell asleep at Bubba Gump's
