Monday we went shopping with Lovey, Kay and Alice. We went to JCPenney's, and Melonee saw an elephant shirt...she picked it up and hugged it and would not put it down. Alice ended up buying it for her. Dottie just looked at everything. The girls do really well when we travel and shop. The girls went home with Lovey for the night.
Melonee is starting to sing Twinkle, twinkle little star. She is doing so well! Also, she is starting to sing her ABC's. She says ABC and hums and will say a letter or two after. Mel is also dancing more and finding things to make her own music. I was trying to get Dottie down for a nap one day and Melonee laid down in the floor, covered herself up and fell asleep on her own. This is a first!!
Dottie is getting more and more determined! She will not stop until she gets what she wants! She is acting like she is going to craw, but still rolling everywhere she wants. Dot has started babbling more and she knows how to fuss.
I worked this weekend so Ryan kept them Saturday morning. He was worn out because they are opening two new schools this year and he has worked ten to twelve hour days this week! The girls were a little out of sorts I think. Mel was into everything and Dottie was whinny. I believe Dottie is starting to cut more teeth...that's her problem. Melonee is just a busy body. When I got home I took over and got lunches ready...Ryan fed Dottie. We ate and Ryan and Melonee went to our bedroom and took a good nap. I played with Dottie and she went down for a nap as well. So I started supper, made cookies, and made carrots for Dottie. Melonee woke up before Ryan and came in the kitchen saying "milk". She then ran back to the bed room saying "mere dad, mere dad.". She finally woke Ryan up which was pretty funny. Dottie was in the kitchen floor playing and watching me cook.
Nae called and wanted to keep the girls so Ryan and I could have a date night. Talk about last minute! So we eat supper, pack the girls, and get ready. Of course, they are excited to see Nae, Renae, and Matthew. I believe they played a lot! Oh! Nae tole me that Pops set his alarm for the wrong time and it went off at twelve am! This woke Dottie up and she was upset! I think Melonee slept through it. By that time Ryan and I were just getting home...we went shopping and to see Captain America.
Sunday I dropped Ryan off at Nae's and Pop's house to help get the girls ready for church. They went to Tusculum Church of Christ with his parents. When I saw them at lunch they looked like they had been through a whirl wind. Melonee was ready for a nap and Dottie was asleep. They both were so beautiful in their lavender dresses! After lunch we went straight home. Melonee and I went to bed! Ryan played with Dottie.
