Melonee has learned how to lock herself in her room, which is a little scary since she is just 18 months old. She is babbling more with some words you can understand. She will stay on the phone and talk now. When she sees a cat she immediately says meow. When Ryan leaves in the mornings, instead of running to the door crying she waves and says bye bye.
Melonee's new sayings: duck, what's this, yes, who's that, hi Dottie, shh, Matthew, Thula, Pooh, watch, eat, rock, juice, oh no, I'm sorry, super, and I am sure there's more.
Dottie is now 6 months old with her two bottom teeth coming in. She has got the sweetest spirit. The girl is happy the majority of the time. I can lay her down in the floor and she will roll all over the place. She is going to be a go getter. She also loves to put everything in her mouth. Dot is sitting up pretty good, but she will dive for what ever is in front of her at the time. I believe she is going to be very ticklish. When she gets to laughing, she is a giggle box for sure.
Ryan had to have emergency surgery Friday night (June 17, 2011)...he had to have his appendix removed. He did well through the surgery, however he needed lots of rest. So the girls got to stay with Nana and Pops one night and the other two nights they spent at Kayla's with Lovey and Papa. The girls did great. Kayla did not have a high chair so she sat a box in a chair for Melonee to eat at the table.
On Fathers Day, I took care of Ryan and got the house ready to go on the market. Kayla took Mom, Dad and the girls out! They went to get popsicles at Las Paletas, toured Scarritt Bennett, and played at the Tennessee Agriculture Park. Needless to say, I believe they had a wonderful time!!! Ryan and I did get to see them for a little bit that night.
Monday morning, I got up to go get the girls at Kayla's house. This was Kayla's birthday!!! I brought them Chick-fil-a for breakfast. Melonee was so excited!! We ate breakfast and then we headed home to see Ryan (Daddy). We really hate being away from the girls...however Melonee loves for Ryan to pick her up and he was just not ready for that. Ryan was feeling better. So we played with the girls til they tuckered out. By the time they woke up from their nap, Alice was at the house and Mom and Dad were on their way. So we went to eat at Culver's. We piddled around for a while before we went back to Kayla's. Mandi was having Kayla a birthday party. The girls were dressed up so cute in the dresses Kayla made for them. Melonee's personality has just exploded. Everyone thought she was so cute. Anne Claire held Dottie for a little while and was impressed that she did not cry at all! Dottie got the precious award for sure. Kayla's birthday went great.
On Tuesday, Ryan and I met Anita and Mama at Cracker Barrel for lunch. We (Ryan and I) had to meet with Lisa (our Realtor) so we could put our house on the market. Therefore, the girls went home with Anita for the afternoon. Anita enjoys spending time with the girls.
Well, the pictures of the house looked so good I decided to mess the kitchen up real good the next day!! I cooked a roast, pinto beans, cornbread, corn on the cob and mashed potatoes. Ryan decided that it was time for Dottie to sit in the high chair. As soon as Dottie was buckled in, and Melonee realized that Dottie was in her chair she was not happy.....then Ryan got Melonee's booster chair and tied it onto a regular chair....that made it all better. Mel is excited to be at the table eating with us. Ryan has always said the blessing before we eat (Melonee is usually already eating) we hold hands including Melonee and Dottie and bow our heads. Melonee has really picked up on this and now says Amen at the end of the blessing. I fixed her plate with everything on it except the corn. She usually will not eat it when we cut it off the cob for her, however she saw me eating it on the cob and wanted to do the same as me. We gave her a little piece and she went to town on it! She looked like she really enjoyed it. Dottie was really enjoying her first time in the high chair. We put a few toys on the tray and she played while we ate. This has really made our meal times easier!!
Ryan went back to work so I took the day to play with the girls and relax. Melonee has started this high pitch squeal that feels like it will break glass. I was trying to get Dottie to go down for a nap when she started into the squeal. I said shh. Melonee. Dottie finally fell asleep and Melonee kissed her on the head and followed me sounding the shh the whole way down the hall and trying to climb up on Dottie's crib. It is amazing that Dottie did not wake up.
