Time Goes Too Fast!

6 Months old and an almost 4 year Old!

At six months old Madelaina weighs in at 15.28 lbs and is 26.3” tall. And has been sleeping all night for a week and a half! (I hope that lasts!)  At 3 years and 9 months Kash weighs 39 lbs and is 40 1/2 inches tall.

Our little Princess is an Angel!!  We thought that our other babies were good, but she is great!  Aside from giving her dad grief about not eating while mom is at work, we are so lucky to have yet…another good baby.

She smiles all of the time… Literally all of the time.

Loves her veggies! Peas are her favorite.

Rolled over for the first time on Christmas.

Loves the sound of her voice, she will put her hand on her voice box and make noises to hear and feel the vibrations.

Her head measures at 96%tile and the doctor wants us to come back in a month to measure it again and make sure that its not growing too big too fast…I assured her that she’s just a Cook… Big heads run in the Family!(LOL)

Funny Story… on Christmas morning I went to pick up Madelaina and she was laying on her back, she had rolled over and so after the boys were finished ripping open their presents I said, “hey guess what!, Madelaina rolled over!” I put her on her tummy on the floor and she rolled over for everyone to see!  the boys laughed and were so excited, got down on the floor and in her face and said, “Good Job!” now Crawl!, Crawl!, come on you can do it!” oh the excitement of these kiddos keep me going!

Overheard

PJ - the other day I went to pick up PJ from School…  PJ gives Joe a bad time about drinking Mtn. Dew because one day he overheard us talking about our goals to be healthy, so he’s just trying to help….reminds him all of the time that it is bad for him to drink pop, and the fact that we wont let him and Kash drink it.  So lately I’ve been a little hooked on my Energy – Crystal light.  just a little powder packet that you add to water with a little caffeine in it.  I hate pop and have found this to be my Diet Coke!!  ……… so PJ jumps in the van,

“Mom, Can I have a drink of that?”

mom: “No, it has caffeine in it, but here’s some water”

PJ:  sad face “ Oh- so what your going to start SMOKING tomorrow!”

mom: Baffled – What do you say to such a smart kid!

KASH – We were driving to Provo on our way to the Dr. it was about 9:30 am. 

“Mom, My left Foot is Starving!”

Mom: “ok Kash, does that mean that your hungry?”

Kash: “yeah I think that we need to stop at McDonalds because my Left Foot is Starving!”

Mom: Chuckles, tosses him some cashews and wishes that we had time to stop at McDonalds.

 

The Polar Express

  

The worst thing about having two cameras!!  The one camera is too big and bulky to take everywhere, so you forget you have photos to download on the other camera.  One of the funnest things that we finally did this year was the Polar Express Ride on the Heber Creeper.  (we tried to do it last year but couldn’t get tickets) It was FREEZING!  Josephs toes were so cold but the kids didn’t seem to mind too much.  They served us Hot Chocolate, & Cookies and we sang songs and played games until we got to the North Pole, then Santa boarded the train and talked to the kids and gave them a little wooden top.  The kids Absolutely loved it!
