5 Alive - Happy Birthday, Miss M!

As I look at pictures, it seems my kids are always happy. :)  Generally speaking, they are.  Miss M was a very happy baby.  Looking back at pictures of her tonight on the eve of her birthday makes me appreciate and miss that little one all at the same time. 

Happiest 4 month old around!

Cheeky 1 yr old

Picture Perfect 2 yr old (I still don't know how we got her to sit still for this - she was always moving)

Sassy 3 yr old - love those curls!

Classy 4 yr old

Ready to be 5 yr old (right before she got tubes in her ears a few weeks ago)

More to come tomorrow...I need to get some sleep before the festivities begin - she's got all 3 meals planned out and can hardly wait.  Love her energy and spunk.  She's an awesome big sis to Baby S and almost as annoying as a perfect little sis can be to her big brother. :)

 

Blessed

1.   All kids like to ask questions that you never know are coming.  Miss M popped a good one yesterday morning as DH was hopping in the shower -
- "Dad, why did you choose to have a pe*is?"
- DH - "Why did I CHOOSE to?  Oh, I didn't choose to...Heavenly Father BLESSED me with one."

It had the 2 of us in stitches as she seemed appeased with the answer and walked off to get ready for the day.

Give my DH props for quick thinking on his feet.  I was impressed.

2. Miss M also has had to spend some time at the ER and surgery center as of late.  After 6 ear infections this year, she was blessed with tubes in her ears and her adenoids taken out.  Just before her tubes went in, she had a scary infection in the mastoid bone in her ear that needed some ER antibiotics.  Her sister, Baby S, loved to tell everyone that Miss M had to go to the "hos-table."  I love 2 1/2 yr olds.  Mine speaks really well, most of the time, so it's fun to hear her slip up at times even though her almost 5 yr old sister still calls it "pasghetti."  In addition, Miss M still struggles w/her left foot and her right foot shoes, while Baby S almost never gets them wrong.

Little girls are hilarious!
