times are hard...

things just seem to keep going from bad to worse financially. i know things will improve, but it sucks when you're in a low. Mylie is eating soft foods. she loves oatmeal and bananas, green beans, peas, carrots, squash, and mashed potatoes. she can sit for a while unassisted, rolls around and scoots. talise hit me on the arm the other day while i was holding mylie and mylie started laughing so hard. every time talise popped me mylie would laugh. talise said "maybe mylie will be evil like me!" she's not evil! i love my girls!

DOODLES

SHE CAN NOW SIT ON HER OWN WITHOUT FALLING OVER FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES AT A TIME! SHE ALSO SCOOTS AROUND. ON FRIDAY NIGHT MY MOM CAME OVER TO SPEND THE NIGHT FOR TALISE'S BIRTHDAY AND WE WERE SITTING AT THE TABLE EATING PIZZA. DOODLES WAS GETTING UPSET CAUSE SHE DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO EAT SO I GOT HER A BITER BISCUIT. NEXT THING I KNOW SHE HAS BITTEN OFF A PIECE OF IT AND IS CHOKING! I HOLLERED AT MY MOM TO GET IT OUTTA HER MOUTH AS I MADE MY WAY AROUND THE TABLE. I HAD HER UP AND ON MY ARM POPPING HER N THE BACK WHILE FERNANDO FISHED OUT THE REST OF THE CRACKER. FINALLY SHE STARTED CRYING! IT SCARED THE CRAP OUTTA ALL OF US! NO MORE BITER BISCUITS ANY TIME SOON!

Happy Birthday Talise!


Today my first baby turns 8! I cannot believe it! Time has flown by. I really hope i am able to get her a cake without her knowing it today. We are financially tight right now so we aren't able to throw her a big party, family is coming over this weekend. She has her school pictures today also. I got her a new top and some matching bangle bracelets and she got up early and I curled her hair and she had monkey bread for breakfast. She was in a good mood. Fernando brought her a pair of socks from the laundry room this morning and even though this is totally disrespectful I laughed so hard tears were rolling down my face. When he handed her the socks she looked at them and said they have fleas on them, good job genuis! I did correct her, but laughed all the same.
Now, little Miss Doodles - she continues to amaze me. She has started eating baby food. So far she loves oatmeal, she'll even eat it with squash mixed with it. You can't feed it to her fast enough. She is not a sweet potatoe fan, and we are gonna try carrots tonight. She is a rolling pro, and she has found a way to squirm around without actually crawling. Fernando stood her up in her pack and play the other day and she stood there holding onto the side for a good minute or two without falling. She's only 5 months old! When you feed her she says mmm! She is just the best baby ever! i love her so much!
