Picture overload and update!


My beautiful little girl.

Lola, our new kitty.

Malachi finally wants to wear his Halloween costume!

She always gums on my sweatshirt strings!

Malachi loves Lola!

She loves food. And loves a mess!

January 28, 2010-8 inches!

Bug loves the snow! He ran wild around the back yard.

Well, I cannot believe it's already been this long since I've posted! I used to post every other day!

The biggest news thus far is Haly crawling. About two weeks ago, she started digging her little toes into the carpet. She would stick her little tush up in the air like she were doing a push up. She eventually figured out to pull her knees up underneath her. Since then, she's discovered if she really wants an object, if she gets on her hands and knees and lunges herself forward, she magically comes to grasp her desired. She likes to get on her hands and knees and rocks, meanwhile saying "ahhhh, ohhhh, ahhhh". She's still pretty vocal. She's begun the solid food process! She LOVES food. When she started moving to 8 oz. every 3 hours, I knew it was time for more than cereal. She enjoys applesauce, pears, mixed fruit, carrots, squash, green beans, veggies and chicken, beef spaghetti, and her absolute fav. is the mac and cheese. It smells much better when warmed up! She is eating breakfast, lunch and dinner now with her bottles still about every 4 hours and still 8 oz. She is a little piggy, but so tiny! She had her 6 month check up a week ago. She only weighs 13 lbs 8 oz. She is 24 in long. Her body is still only in the 10th percentile, but her head is measuring in the 50th. She's extra smart! She is still smiling all the time and a complete joy to be around. She goes to sleep very easily and has only had to "soothe" herself a couple times. She is a fantastic baby and a sweet little sister. She loves Malachi and her daddy so much. Whenever Donovan picks her up or enters a room she is in, she waves her arms, kicks her legs and gets a huge smile on her face.
Malachi continues to say new things every day! His newest funny statements are, "Daddy did it." or "Daddy do it!" Whenever I ask him what happened, he says that his daddy did it, not him. Whenever he wants you to do something, he will tell you! He is very persistent and a little stinker. He has so much energy all day! The best news with him is his sleeping habits. He has been sleeping through the night! It only took 2 years! He is such a great brother. He often tells Haly what she wants, even if it is not what she wants. :) He loves the kitty cat (Lola) and carries her around by her neck everywhere. He brings her to me and says, "Mommy, help!" He tries to be very helpful, but sometimes can get in the way. For instance, he thinks cleaning with bleach may just be fun! Mommy is so weird-she thinks Malachi shouldn't touch chemicals?! He loves to help put clothes in the washer and dryer, let Bug outside, soothe Haly when she's crying, dictate when the animals are allowed to eat their dinner-how close their bowls should be at dinner-and who eats what dinner. His appetite is growing-which means he must be getting taller. He has not gained weight since he was 17 months old! He has gotten taller and much "older" looking, but no weight gain. He eats very healthy-a cheese, fruit, oatmeal, chicken eating monster. He loves his milk! He is changing so much everyday!
Donovan and I started a new semester of college! Yay! I have 1 1/2 years left, he has only about a year! He plans on continuing his masters after his bachelors. We are still loving the Metro (church family we are a part of) and feel God working every minute of every day! Please continue to pray for this ministry.
We measured 8 inches of snow here today! The blizzard was awesome! Snow is so beautiful how it covers everything and makes it so white. Reminds me of the blood of Christ and how it covers us. Such a great picture of grace and love in frozen water!

Gentry Zoo

To celebrate H-bugs first birthday, we went to the Gentry Zoo on Monday! She loved it. Both her and Malachi are big time animal lovers. I'm not sure where they get that from ;) Haly kept her eye on the Emu's the entire drive. She did not like them. There's this look she gives when she's not sure of a situation, and the birds definitely got that look. We named this guy Ted. Doesn't he look like a Ted? We aren't sure what he is, so we named him. The kids and I flipped out when he decided to stick his entire head in our car before we could roll up the window. He drooled on my skirt. The nerve! This Camel also stuck his entire German Shepherd sized head in our window! The best experience by far was the Zebras. Malachi just puckered up and laid a smooch on this guy. When we told him to do it again he informed us that it was "yucky" and then proceeded to scream "IT'S A WOLF"-or an Alpaca...with his head in Donovan's window with the most hil...

A whole year with the little ladybug

Image
I know this is a little late, but we've been a little busy :) July 10th, 2009 at 12:36 a.m. 6 lbs, 12 oz. I cannot believe my little girl is already one! It seems like she's still just a baby, and she is my baby! Going through the parenting with Malachi, I didn't realize how much they really change. It seems like in just a few weeks, she exploded into a new person. *She is 18.4 lbs. and 27.5 inches long. *She has a head full of hair now that can be fashioned into rubber banded pigtails (horns). She will NOT keep bows in. She will eat them. *She is walking all the time and everywhere. *She is climbing on the couch, our bed, up stairs and any chair she can reach. *She has 6 teeth, 2 bottom and 4 on top. *She has kicked the bottle except for night time. Even then, sometimes she's so tired she just rolls over and goes to sleep. She's having a hard time drinking from a sippy cup because of how fast it comes out-she always spits it everywhere. *She eats ever...

Quiet as a church mouse

The idiom “quiet as a church mouse” definitely gives off some negative connotations. First thoughts are-why would a mouse be lurking in a church? The short answer to that is definitely goldfish crackers and warmth. Another is -Eww. Rodents. They’re so...rodent like. My nick name is Meg-a-moo, or Moo for short. This was lovingly assigned to me from origins unknown. No, My cries did not imitate that of a cow when I was a baby-It just seemed like a fitting name. In researching the starting point from hence “quiet as a church mouse”-it is clear that this, much like my nick name, has no definite origin. It is a well known fact, however, that mice are meek. They make little noise on their own and scavenge for food and a place to make their home. In the 16th century, churches did not store food-whereas, here in 2018, the kids literally CANNOT go more than an hour without sustience. Enter Goldfish crackers. Cue mice. I am a Children’s Minister at a church here in Fayetteville. The job desc...
