Melonee went to the rodeo with Nana. She loved it. She sat in Nana's lap and watched the whole show in amazement. Mel is going to be an animal lover. Melonee is picking up new words...sunshine, Ryan, Thula, Mathew, juice, Dot, yuck, mango and Pooh. She is also loving the warm weather. When we go outside, it is hard to get Mel to come back inside. Lovey and Papa got the girls a swing set and they love it.
Dottie is sitting up better every day. We are spoon feeding her now. Thanks to Lovey we finally have conquered the spoon feedings! Dottie is very alert an active. Memorial day weekend Aunt Barbara came in from Missouri and brought Casey and Sarah over to Lovey's. Dottie sat in Aunt Barb's lap and bounced and smiled the whole time. That afternoon we took the girls up to Uncle John's. They have lots of animals....Melonee loved it. She would point to the ducks and say duck....she wanted to pet the dogs but had to wait till uncle John held him down so she could pet him.
Dottie is also acting like she may crawl. Flipping over is not a problem. She is starting to get her knees up and push forward...more of a scoot. When she is napping in her crib we lay the pacifier next to her and when she wakes up she will grab it and put it in her mouth. Her sleeping habits have changed a little. We lay her down in her crib at about eight-thirty or so and she has been waking up at about twelve...I the get her and she sleeps with me the rest of the night. Bad habit I know but I have to get some sleep.
Mel is sleeping better these days. She is going to have allergies. She has had a runny nose
on and off for a couple of months. We spent one weekend at Nana's and Pop's...we were outside a lot. Ryan and Pop's were cleaning up the land that we are going to buy to build on. Nana had bought the girls a kitchen set to play with so I put it together and Aunt Renae took care of Dottie and Mel ran around with Nana.
