This past week has been full of activities.  A normal week in the Florida house hold is cram packed with things to do.  Mondays we go shopping with Lovey and Great Aunt Kay Kay, Tuesdays we go see Papa and Lovey, Wednesdays we rest, Thursdays we try to go see Nana and Pops, Fridays we go to story time with Nana's help, and the weekends we rotate with the grandparents!! 

On Friday, we found out that Papa needs to have surgery on his heart. So we went to Decherd for the weekend to spend time with him.  On the way to Decherd, I (Mom) got to ride in between my girls!!!  Dottie has a tendency to cry when she can't see me.  Oh, and Melonee, we have taken the pacifier away from you.  It has been trying, but we believe you are doing great. 

Melonee has started doing more hand motions and jibber jabbering more.  She is shrugging her shoulders, nodding her head with the beat to music, rolling her hands and throwing them up like the song patty cake and she loves the song when your happy and you know it.

Dottie is still doing great.  She has had a couple of bad nights and woke up at 3am, but is doing better now.  She is smiling and responding to us now.  Her cooing is just so sweet.

Yesterday was Valentine's day.  Well, last night when Ryan got home and got settled we gave Melonee and Dottie their gift.  You would have thought that Melonee had won the lottery.  She got her basket and magnetic letters and carried them back and forth from the refrigerator.  Then we put her singing broom together and she danced with it for a while.  Dottie also enjoyed her basket as much as she could :).  It is always so good to see your children happy.  Last night was the first night since we took the pacifier away from Melonee that she did not cry.  She just climbed up in my arms and fell asleep without a problem.  What a relief.  Dottie also passed out pretty easily last night.
