Mel's Car...

My brother and sister-in-law gave B a little red "coop"car for Christmas when she was 1. B has outgrown it, but she still rides in it every once in awhile, but Mel plays with it all the time. She LOVES it. It keeps her occupied for hours.

The Twins...

I babysat the twins last Friday. I was worried about the whole bottle issue(Mel is weaned off the bottle). I was worried that once Mel saw the bottles she would want them. It was never an issue. She didn't really care. She did finish about an ounce from one of their bottles, but that was it. It was a little hectic at times, but not bad...with three babies in the house, it is evident that it will be a little hectic. B was a big help!!

Kyle is on the left...Adam the Right...

Mel was on the ground playing and talking to them when I ran and got my camera...that is the picture that I really wanted, but whenever she sees a camera she turns and smiles! What do you expect when your mom always has a camera in your face!! It is still cute...

Adam...

Kyle(I couldn't get him to smile for anything)...he actually looks kind of ticked:0)...

McDonald's Fries...Yum!!

We don't eat fast food very often, but when we do, it is definitely a treat. When we found out Brad wasn't coming home for lunch, B and I had craving for McDonald's french fries. Mel liked them too!!!

Aunt Lauren's Birthday...

Mel is officially off the bottle now. It was much easier than I had anticipated. The hardest one for me to get rid of was the 6:00 a.m. bottle. It is much easier to just give her a bottle and put her back to bed and let her sleep until 9:00 a.m. But she surprised me...once I cut out all the bottles, she started sleeping until 7:00 a.m...still pretty early, but better!!
