Something was wrong with my sweet little baby Makenna this morning. Both girls were up at 6:30am... the usual lately and yes when the usual used to be 7:00am a half hour earlier is a big difference for me! Anyway, Karlie woke up overly snotty and cranky and Makenna woke up just a little sad and not feeling that great. We attempted to play for a little bit but nothing was working so after breakfast I opted to let her lay down on the couch and watch cartoons. And she stayed on the couch not wanting to move or eat or drink anything for 3 hours! I finally convinced her to eat some jello but that was the only thing I could get her to take! Poor baby. After Karlie's morning nap she felt just fine and was super happy played and roaming throughout the house by herself and I think she truly enjoyed having every single toy to herself!!! After Karlie and I had lunch I snuggled on the couch with Makenna watching mickey mouse or something and we both fell asleep while Karlie was off doing whatever made her happy! And yes our house is completely baby proof and with all the proper doors shut and things up high so there truly isn't an ounce of damage she can do to herself when not supervised! So off to nap time we all went and once we were all up everyone was feeling back to there normal happy selves. We were able to go visit daddy at work and run a few errands as well!

We had Karlie's 1 year doctor appointment this morning with shots and all. After waiting an hour at the doctor office just to go back to see the doctor for 15 minutes we were finally done and on our way for the rest of the day. The waiting room was packed and all the doctors were running behind... supposedly the computers were down and everything had to be done on paper and takes that much longer. All I know is that all the juice and snacks that I brought were gone and both girls were way over waiting any longer! Oh well... at least we know she is a healthy little girl weighing 20 pounds and is 29 1/2" tall. That only puts her at the 25th% in weight and 50th% in height... much smaller than her big sister was at the same age. Makenna was always at the top of the charts at the 85th% and 90th% for everything. Still amazes me how different two kids can be when they came from the same people. They each have their own personality and traits and likes and dislikes and through the years it will only become more and more apparent to us what all the differences are between them.
After the doctors we had to head to Costco for necessities and yet again I am reminded as to why I or anyone else wastes money on buying "toys" for the girls when all they ever need is an empty box to play in! As I was unloading and putting away everything I gave the girls some grapes to share as a snack so I could finish. Once I was done I couldn't find them but when I looked around the corner they were very quietly eating their snacks in the corner in the box watching the cartoons from a distance! So why again do parents and grandparents and anybody else for that matter spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on toys when they just want empty boxes to climb in and out of? Silly girls!!!
And another toy that isn't the toy... the laundry basket! Let's play roll it back and forth to each other and then toss it and all sorts of fun!

Well... I changed the girls' diapers and got Makenna dressed for the day and realized I left Karlie's clothes upstairs... so... I strolled up and picked out an outfit and came back down to half of the wipes pulled out of the case! Not sure who the culprit was... but Makenna told me "Mommy I clean table". Sure Makenna... whatever you say. I guess it could have been worse thing right?
My sweet innocent and dare devil Karlie has figured out how to get into the locked lid drawer. In all fairness the locks don't even work right. The part to actually lock them never got put on... (Chad)... so they are chipping away at the wood and creating enough of a gap to just pull open. So anyway, Karlie's new favorite toys are the lids to all our tupperware. And of course whatever one sister is getting into the other sister has to check out also! So yes... I have tupperware scattered throughout the house at various times of the day and pretty soon I will have to just have an empty drawer with tupperware lids hiding somewhere else way up high!
Super fun game! Makenna walks up to me and says "Mommy I wanna surf" and she is holding her blanket. So I laid it out on the floor long and skinny and stood her in the middle and I pretended to surf with her... she just sat down and said "Mommy push me" (which means pull me). Uh... not on her special bedtime snuggle blanket! So I grabbed a big blanket and set her down and took her for a "surf ride" (Which is more like a sled ride that I pull). She was laughing hysterically and smiling and having a blast and shouting "surf again mommy surf again mommy". (sigh) this kid has boundless energy and I don't! Karlie thought it was hilarious and tried chasing us for a little bit until Makenna wanted her to surf too... so here I am at 7:00pm pulling 50 pounds of kids on a blanket in circles around the house... only because they are so stinkin' cute! Next time it's Daddy's turn to go surfing!

Silly girls... Makenna thinks its super fun to "hug" Karlie and "hold on" Karlie... most of the time her arms end up wrapped around Karlie's neck and we have to stop immediately due to choking... but once in a while she gets it right. This time it looks like she was practicing the "rear naked choke?" one of the MMA moves? Either way it's cute that they like to hug and hold on and cuddle with each other once in a while! It's always short lived... but oh so cute!

After getting home at midnight from supercross last night and then waking up at 6:30am with the little rugrats... We had a jammie and nap day for all of us! Lots of play time in the evening though when we all perked up a bit after dinner. Even the girls seems to be quite tired all day. They must have played really hard with Mima and Pipoo the night before?
Makenna loves to take all the pillows off the family room couch and lay them out on the floor and jump down on them... after jumping on the sofa cushions... such a great example for her little sister! Oh well as long as they have fun and enjoy life than I can worry about a $300 couch later!

SX SD (Supercross San Diego)!!! Today was a fantastic day away from the kids for some very loud and cold and wet motorcycle fun with our best friends Mike & Kristy! We headed down early so we could walk the pits and check everything out then back to the car for some tailgating (beer & BBQ) under the EZ-up canopy since it was raining! Chad and I wore our snow pants and jackets to keep dry and warm and we haven't had to wear them since we went skiing/boarding 5 years ago! Ha ha!! We had a blast getting away for the night while the kids were safe at home with Mima and Pipoo. We also had some pretty sweet seats! They were 7 rows up from the dirt but far enough away we didn't get muddy and we were the next section away from the finish line! Well... at least I thought they were pretty good seats! For the record #22 Chad Reed (YAY!!) won the race and #7 James Stewart (YUCK!!) got second... and I don't remember where #2 Ryan Villapoto placed. I wasn't really paying all that close of attention. We are hoping that we can go every year and make a day out of it... but when to start bringing the kids is the question. I think maybe one more year and then they will be ready. It's a lot of noise and sitting down in one chair for a few hours and it's cold and wet... not really the ideal place for little girls! We'll see!

Finally... a lazy day at home after such a busy week! Since Daddy came home today mommy even got to take a nap while the girls did! Well actually I started my nap a half hour before they did and didn't wake up until they did so I got the longest nap! I was so tired! Today was a whole lot of play time as a family and it was so nice and relaxing! After dinner Makenna decided to walk around with her hands in her pockets... just because that's what daddy does!
Did I tell you Karlie took a step? I think I did? It was just one small step but it was the push I needed to realize that it's time to accept that my baby is getting bigger and ready to walk so I better be a good mom and start helping her! So tonight we walked our normal circles around the house and Makenna so badly wanted to help too... we all three of us walked slowly around the house and the two of them were just laughing and laughing at themselves and each other. Not sure what was so funny but they were having a blast! It won't be long until she is really on her own!
