Nine Months Old!

Wow! Misty is going to be one before I know it. Time definitely flies with the second child. And boy is she keeping up! Every day she is learning something new. She pulls herself up to furniture now, and just today started taking steps while holding on. She waves bye and claps her hands. She loves crackers and books, and also finds interest in big brother's movies for longer than you would expect. Misty also loves to torment her brother by splashing him in the tub. They play so well together otherwise. We have this toy phone that is on wheels and you can pull it by a cord and it will follow you. Wyatt does that in our house and Misty just follows as fast as she can, laughing and excited to maybe get it. Misty is a good sleeper, and up until now, would only go to sleep if we swaddled her really tight. She has been the perfect addition to our family with her vivacious spirit and sweet smile. If she's tired, she loves to snuggle which everyone, especially daddy, enjoys. We love our little girl and can't imagine life without her.

Easter

We had a fun Easter! Felicia brought her kids over and we colored eggs. It was a first time for all of them, and they really enjoyed it. We weren't sure how much the little attention spans would handle, so we only colored six.

Then they decorated with Kung Fu Panda stickers and egg holders.

Then we hid them in the back yard along with some plastic, candy-filled ones.

They had so much fun finding them. I would point one out for Wyatt, and all three children would go after it. They wanted to keep finding them after they were already found. I remember when I was young, I'd want someone to hide them all over again so we could keep hunting. Thanks Felicia for bringing your kids over and making some memories. I'm so glad they had a fun time.

Little John Deere Man!

Misty didn't get to hunt for easter eggs, but she got to wear her new Eater dress.

Growing up, my mom would sew each of us (8) girls Easter dresses. I always felt so special. Felicia, Angelica and I wanted to start that tradition with our girls, so we all took on the challenge of sewing our daughters Easter dresses. My mom helped me every step of the way, but I did sew everything, except the zipper. We'd altered the pattern a lot, and my mom even had trouble with it. So I'm glad she offered to do it for me. Thanks mom!
They were all a success and fit the girls perfectly!

Such sweet precious girls!
Kaylee(Felicia), Adia and Evelyn(Angelica) and Misty.

Misty's Revenge

Misty loves the bath. It's too bad I always have to hurry and bathe her and get her out. This is why:



Luckily she gets a bath by herself every once in a while by herself so she can splash away! I love it that she has this huge grin, having the time of her life, while Wyatt is not so much.
