Food and Fun!

So Mallory has been eating cereal for about 2 weeks now and is loving it. I guess it is time to start giving her other solids to try. It seems she will be a great eater like her big sisters are.

During lunch on Saturday the girls were having fun with each other. Emma and Kaylee LOVE their little sister and were entertaining her while they ate. Emma would say "Mallory--Happy!" and Kaylee would make her smile. I love to see them all together this way, it makes the heart warm!

As I said in my last post...Mallory is growing tooooo quick! She is rolling all over now and has learned that this gets her places. She is still contained in one area, but I don't think it will be long before she discovers she can leave the living room!

On Sunday, though a bit windy, we headed out for a quick walk around the neighborhood. I got a picture of Mallory and me. Being the photographer most of the time, I don't have many pics doing stuff with my girls. Not the most flattering, but we were there too!

The girls ABSOLUTELY love riding in their wagon (thanks Gram and Papa!). This was the best Christmas gift they could have gotten!

At the end of the walk the girls wanted to get out and walk. Emma took Kaylee's hand to hold it, so cute...even if it only lasted a minute!

Kaylee being a cutie!

First swing ride (her at home) for Miss Mallory! She loved it!

Daddy took Emma and Kaylee on a little "4-wheeling" around the property. OK--maybe not 4 wheeling, but they got to drive and they love it. So cute to see them have fun with their Daddy.

And of course Daddy also loves to snuggle with his littlest girl...and she loves it too.

Faces of Cuteness!!

Some random pictures over the last week. The girls are growing so quickly and doing so much, even little Mallory.....I keep thinking SLOW DOWN!!!!!! Of course I love when they do new things, but I want them to stay my "babies"! So Emma and Kaylee had their first frosties the other day from Wendy's. Can't beat a 99 cent treat. The two of them shared one and it was the perfect amount for them.

All three girls take a bath together now. Notice Kaylee, she is always putting things on her head.

LOOK!!! Kaylee's hair is long enough for a small (very small) ponytail!

Kaylee also loves mirrors. I found her like this on the floor and she was like this for like 5 min. just talking and laughing at herself---so cute!

Princess Emma! We got dress-up clothes from Kasey for Christmas and last weekend was the first time Emma actually wanted to dress up (without me making her). In the second picture you have to look close, but she has on her high-heeled glass slippers. She loves them. She walked around all afternoon in them.

Kaylee loves all the dress up jewelry---she is our gypsy!

Hmmmmm....what should I put on?????

That's all for now, thanks for stopping by!

Coughs and Runny Noses!

The three princesses have been sick for the past week and half. It all started with Mallory. Just a cold but they have all been miserable! Mallory stayed home with Josh last week, but he went back to work so I had to take off for Kaylee---who had croup and Emma today, so I made it to work 2 days this week---during the worst week possible. I have report cards due and conferences to get ready for. I will get it all done somehow.....anywhoooo.....on to a couple of pictures, don't have much, but enjoy! Gotta love those cheeks! Mallory is doing so well rolling now and trying to move. She still can't totally roll from tummy to back...but she sure tries and sometimes gets it, just not every time. Just a matter of time (I think not too much longer..)I will be chasing her around! I took this of my little "mommy" because she is nursing Winnie here. I was feeding Mallory on the couch and she came over and lifted her own shirt and started feeding Winnie.....through her belly button!!! And she said "Pooh...milk....yummy!"

These two were last weekend when Emma and Kaylee were starting to get sick. They were very low key so I knew something was up. They are usually non-stop--like most kiddos their age!

Mallory started rice cereal last weekend. She is doing well with it. Of course it gets better every day, but she is catching on rather quickly! Time to start making baby food again!

Blurry...but I thought she was cute with her cereal all over.

Mallory can also sit up on her own for a few minutes. She is still pretty unstable, but she will sit like that for a minute or so before she starts to fall to the side or forward. She loves to sit up so she can see everything and watch her big sisters play.

Yes....we are still here!

I love to do the blog, but as all of you know I am very busy with three wonderful little girls so I don't have a lot of time to sit down and do it. Josh has been gone a lot lately, so I am a single mom a lot of the time. BUT--I still love to sit down and record what we have been up to. I think it is important for our memories, and I love for family and friends who don't live near to be able to see these girls grow up and what cuties they are. SO---on to some new pictures and updates! Mallory is 5 months old and doing so much! She needs to SLOW DOWN! She may be our last baby and it seems to be flying by! She is in 3-6 month clothes (but almost out of those) really 6 month seem to fit her well right now. She loves the bouncy-play thingy that is in the pics below below. She use to just sit in it and look at the toys, but just in the past week she has figured out how to bounce...so she is having a blast with that! She is also rolling over from her back to her tummy (still working on the other direction). She loves to just lay on the floor talking and rolling over and spending time on her belly. She is amazing and continues to be a relaxed-easy going baby and her sisters just adore her. They are always giving her kisses and lovin' on her.

We don't do bubble baths very often, but when we do the girls LOVE IT!

When I ask Emma to smile for me and this is usually what she does, nice huh? (but take a look at those lashes--jealous!)

Here is our Miss Kaylee, love her big brown eyes!

Here are two quick videos of Mallory. She is not doing much, but those of you who don't get to see her in person can get a little glimpse of her in action (maybe next time I will get her rolling over!).

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Latest Photo Shoot

Once again we visited Kathy's house to have some photos taken. I am so thankful for her and helping to capture my girls as they grow. As always....she did a wonderful job and it was hard to pick favorites. I posted a few below...enjoy!
