Huh?

So if you ask Makell what her name is she will tell you it is Bo. I have no idea where that comes from but it is pretty funny and every time she says it, I think, huh? Sometimes I wonder about her!

Because every post needs a picture, here she is blowing bubbles in her cute Sunday dress.

Tangled

It's offical...Makell is obssessed with Tangled. I thought this didn't happen until they were much older than her, but I guess not. We bought the movie, watched it twice and now watching "Horsey" (as she calls it) is all she wants to do. First thing in the morning, when we come from from anywhere, before bed, right after it's over; she wants to watch it ALL THE TIME! Good thing it's a cute movie.

The best shots I could get of her while she watched the movie.

Peek A Boo

Anyone else's kids like to play in/behind the curtains?



Little Lounger

Makell loves to lounge and she is always putting her legs up over the arms of her little chair. I think it looks very uncomfortable but she disagrees!


Marker Manicures

So last Saturday Makell and I were coloring at the kitchen table when she decided she wanted her finger nails colored. I thought it would be fun so we colored them each a different color and then she colored mine orange. She loved it and it made for some pretty cute pictures!

What have I been up to?

Making cake balls and knitting!!
I love knitting baby hats and I have a cute book with lots of cute patterns. Here are a few that I have made so far. They have all been gifts but I hope to make Makell one soon. If you need one for anything, let me know and I would be happy to make you one!

I have also been making lots of cake balls. Here are some I made for a co-worker to give to his wife on Valentines Day. I think they turned out so cute. Check out Bakerella for instructions and lots more ideas!

Catch Up

Here's what we've been up to lately:

Sledding!! We took Makell sledding for the first time a few weeks ago (shortly after that big snow storm) and she had a great time. Sledding wasn't her favorite but she sure loved to eat the snow.




Learning to use the potty!! Makell is very aware of when she pees and poops so we got her a potty so she could start to get familiar with it. She really likes it and has actually peed in it a few times, yay!

Cooking with Mom: Makell loves to help me cook and I love having a helper! Here we are pounding chicken.

Lots of Ice Eating: Makell loves ice and asks for it all the time. You can often find her watching Baby Einstein with a cup of ice in hand.
