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!

Mommy's Manicure

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.

Loving the "Warm Fuzzies"

When we were visiting family in Arizona for Christmas, Makell found a huge jar of fuzzy pom-pom balls and loved to play with them. We got got home we decided she needed her own jar to play with and she decided that the pink ones are her favorite. Here she is loving the pink fuzzies.

First Hair Cut

Several weeks ago I took Makell to get her first hair cut. I know there wasn't much to cut but it was so uneven and unruly that I had to get it done. She was so good about it but a little unsure of what was happening. It's been so nice to have all that hair out of her eyes. Here are a few pics.

Thanksgiving 2010

This year for Thanksgiving we celebrated at a friend's house. We enjoyed a nice dinner and then played games with the kids. While we were there, Makell decided to follow one of the bigger kids up the stairs. That didn't work out so well and she ended up falling face first onto the wood floor and splitting her lip open. She was fine after a bit of love but it made for a fun Thanksgiving and gave her an awfully large swollen lip. Hope your's was less eventful!
