Well, it has been a while since my last blog. Between feedings, diaper changes, snacks, activities and naps...time just seems to get lost.
Melonee is almost two!!! Dottie is 10 months!! The girls are really playing well together. Last month we got them a butterfly tunnel that they love to play in!! Melonee will crawl through it real quick and shut the door and then Dottie will get half way through and Mel will play peek-a-boo with her and they both just laugh. There is nothing better than hearing them laugh together. Just last week I gave Melonee some pinto beans and mashed potatoes for lunch...needless to say she had it from her nose to her chest covered. I finished feeding Dottie and let her down to play and cleaned Melonee up so she could play with Dottie. As I was cleaning the last bean off the floor I heard the two laughing....Dottie somehow managed to get the Cheerios from the diaper bag on the stairs and was standing by the couch eating them out of the bag. So I went from pintos to finding cheerios all over the place.
Melonee can count to ten pretty good, however it is on her own time. She is saying her ABC's better too. Sometime last week she sneezed and she said scat tom. Mel is singing a little too...Twinkle, twinkle little star and the Elmo song. The sayings are getting funnier each day. This past week when she is ready to go to bed she has been bringing me a blue blanket that I have had since my birth (it came from Hammers on the square in Winchester in 1980), turning the light off herself and crawling up in my lap. When she cannot find the blue blanket, she will come to me and say boo banket. She is definitely turning into a mini me! She loves to watch the Muppet Show! Kermit and Miss Piggy. Also, she could watch Winnie the Pooh over and over. When we are in the kitchen, she will take a chair and push it to where ever I am working and will watch and try to work with me. Mel is a busy body for sure.
Dottie is going to be into everything! Everything she picks up goes straight to her mouth! She follows us around and is just babbling. She can say Dadadada very well. Dot is also moving quick. When she hears music she breaks out into a dance that is hilarious. She likes to shake her booty. If she sees something that she wants, she will get it. The child is very determined and has a wonderful memory. Out of sight, out of mind does not work with this child. Ryan has started calling her Chuckles...she laughs alot and is also very ticklish.
Ryan turned on Winnie the Pooh for Mel the other night and they were both setting in their rocking chairs watching the movie....it was too cute. Dottie was really rocking and eating it up. They also like to get on the piano and play. They are just so good about playing with each other.....however they do have their moments. For example, Dottie will be standing by the toy box and Melonee will want her to do something...well, Melonee will grab her and pull her where ever she thinks Dottie needs to be. I have a feeling this will not last long before Dottie will big enough to pull Mel around!

Week of July 25th
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.

Mad dash
Sunday July 24, 2011
This is our day to make a mad dash to church. We have decided that it is best to put Melonee in the nursery during service. We actually made it to services on time! Steve Flatt spoke today. It is always nice to hear a fresh voice. Melonee did wonderful during class. Dottie was very quite and calm during services and Sunday school.
After church, we went home and had lunch. Then we went to Nae and Pop's house. Mama was there when we got there. We played and chatted with everyone. We decided that we needed to go to Wolf camera to develop Dottie's six month pictures. Dottie stayed here with Ryan, Pop's, and Matthew. We strolled Melonee around the entire mall.
Melonee and Dottie had a wonderful day! They are so happy.

Quick trip to Lovey's
Saturday July 23, 2011
Ryan went out and picked the garden clean. Lovey called and asked us to come home and help can beans. We headed to Decherd. Lovey ironically was finished working when we got there. We started breaking beans. Papa, Ryan and Melonee went outside to pick corn and shuck it. Mom started lunch as well. Some one called the house and I heard Lovey say okay and she went to the door and opened it. Melonee was standing there eating a tomato like an apple! Tomato juice was running down her face and arms, however she was enjoying it! When she got in the door she ran strait to her chair. She was hungry! Lovey just laughed! Dottie was still asleep and slept till we got through eating.
We got all of our canning done! The girls were having a blast! We played hard. Before heading home, we gave the girls a bath. What a day!

Papa's Birthday
Papa turned 56 on Sunday July 17th! So we decided to go to Lovey and Papa's for the weekend. Ryan had picked the garden clean so we had green beans and butternut squash to can and freeze. Off we go to our grand adventure! Saturday was filled with Kayla, Mom, and I shopping while Dad and Ryan watched the girls so they could nap. When the shopping was over, I started breaking beans while Kayla and Mom cooked supper. The girls finally woke up from their nap and were full of energy. We walked over to Alice's to see the progress of her house. Melonee runs wide open as soon as she is out of the house! Dottie is very observant of her surroundings! We played on the swing set for a little bit.
We finished breaking beans! Mom blanched the beans and I got the girls ready to take baths! Mom helped me give baths. The girls really enjoy bath time. Dottie is enjoying it more than Melonee these days. We start with Dottie and we let her play in the water. Well, when we get Dottie out Melonee wants to get out as well. So we now have to really pump bath time up with songs and toys! Mel does not like her hair washed! By the time we wash her hair off she is doing what ever she can to get out of the bath tub!
Ryan put on a movie and we got the girls to go to sleep. The movie was very slow. It was about a man that rode his lawn mower across Iowa.
Sunday! Papa's birthday! He was the first one up with the girls. I heard Mel and got up to get them ready and feed. Mel rounded the corner and said milk. I went to check on Dottie and Papa had given her a bar of soap to chew on! It was the soap that Kayla and I had made for my wedding. She had just about chewed through the plastic wrap! I got the girls breakfast ready...Ryan got up and helped...Mom got up and got ready....then Kayla. I Was half way ready when she decided that she had to workout before going to eat. She asked if I would go with her. So I found the only casual clothes I brought and a pair of flip flops. I strapped Mel in the stroller and we went walking down the road. Melonee laughed and smiled the whole time. She loves being outdoors!
When our walk was over, we rushed in so we could get ready to go eat breakfast at the sunrise place in Decherd for Papa's birthday. This is a new breakfast place in town...Alice says it is great! I have to say it was good! We enjoyed breakfast as a family. Then we took the girls to the park. Kayla took lots of pictures. Alice played on the slide with Melonee and we all took turns holding Dottie. Melonee did not want to leave, but she was worn out. By the time we got home Melonee was asleep and Dottie was ready for lunch!
The rest of the afternoon, we canned seven quarts of green beans and I put up four quarts of butternut squash to freeze. I also made Kayla Ezekiel bread. Then we all tried to cook supper. While we were cooking, Ryan, Papa, Alice and Kayla were outside with the girls. Melonee was playing on the swing set and Ryan had Dottie. Ryan put Dottie down so she was standing up on the deck and Melonee ran from the swing set over to Dottie grabbed both hands and started to dance with her! I missed it the first time but she did it again when I came outside. Melonee is really starting to enjoy having a sister and Dottie watches every move that Mel makes! After supper Mel helped Lovey water the flowers! Mel really likes getting
dirty!
I had to work on Monday and Tuesday so we left Melonee and Dottie with Lovey and Papa. Aunt Alice also helped while they were there. So on Monday, Alice sent us a picture of the girls playing in the frog pool. She said that they enjoyed it! I came in on Monday to get the girls. I thought that I was going to get them and get home quick! Not happening. We went over Alice's to look at the paint. I looked wonderful. There house is really coming together.
Tuesday, Ryan took the girls to Anita's. They played and enjoyed Nae, Pops, and Matthew.
Wednesday, was our lazy day! We just had to get readjusted to our daily routine and being home!
Thursday, we met our friend Elke and Dean at Barfield-Crescent Park. We had a lot of fun playing! Dean is about a month younger than Melonee. This was great child interaction.
Friday July 22, 2011, I had asked Anita to come over to watch the girls while I picked beans. Well, Melonee came out for a little while. She played on the swing set til she got interested in the garden. She started getting muddy and then I smelled a dirty diaper. So I took her in and Anita changed her diaper. She then wanted to come outside but wanted Anita to come as well and started crying. I then went to get her. She played on the deck while I tried to pick beans. As my back was turned, she fell down the steps! I tell you what! I took her in and checked her out. She had bruises on her face and legs. I also got the bread out that I had made. I finished picking the beans and came in. The girls were watching Pooh Bear. I ran and took a shower.
Melonee some sweet potato fries. We were off to the splash pad! Dottie looked so cute in her swim suit. She also had a hat and shoes to match. Melonee had a cute swim suit as well. There were several people at the splash pad. I took Melonee over to one of the sprinklers and she acted like she did not like it...then when she got use to it she loved it. She ran around and played in the water for about an hour. I took Dottie and splashed a little but I don't think she was ready for it. She played with Ryan and watched Melonee. When it was time to go, I asked Melonee if she was ready to go and she walked right to the gate to leave! She strutted all the way to the car. Then we went to Chick-fil-a to get supper to take home. We had a wonderful day!

July 13th
July 13, 2011....Dottie turned seven months old!!! I heard her crying about 6am...as I walked into her bedroom, to my amazement she was sitting up! She had sat up all on her own...not sure how she did it. Dottie is growing so fast! The next thing I know, I hear Melonee saying Mama..Mama. I now realize that we are up and ready for breakfast. However this was going to be Daddy's day to get the girls ready. I have had to work the past couple of days so Daddy has helped out tremendously. Lovey had kept the girls Monday night and Tuesday along with Alice's help. Today Daddy was taking the girls to Anita's. When the girls arrived at Anita's, she had a stroller and baby doll waiting for Melonee. Talk about excited! Ryan sent me pictures so I could see Melonee's excitement. Dottie was also happy. Luckily, I got off a little early. Anita had to take Matthew to the doctor and left Dottie with Dan. I met Anita at the walk-in clinic to get Melonee and went back to help Dan with Dottie. Dottie was pulling Pops chest hair when I got there! Melonee took off just playing and running as fast as she could. Dottie just smiles, coos, and watches every move Melonee makes. Melonee got her new stroller and pushed her baby in it. Then she got the baby out and started to feed her and burp her...I think she has watched me too long. We stayed for supper and got the girls ready for bed and headed home. The girls easily went down!
Thursday was my day off!! The girls and I just made a day of it. We took a walk outside. Mel loves it outside. Dottie fell asleep as we walked...so I took her inside. I noticed that Melonee was entertaining herself so I went to start supper and clean the kitchen. I didn't hear anything for a while...my first clue...Mel ran up to me in the kitchen with a white powder all over her. I then went to the living area....and there it was...Dottie's formula powder all over the couch, chair, piano, and floor! She must have slobbered all over as well because it was stuck to the floor. Now I get to sweep, mop and vacuum! Melonee had no clue what she had done. She ran to her bedroom and threw all the books in the floor along with her pajamas. Today seemed like the never ending mess! Mel will normally help put things back in a place but not today. Finally she went down for a nap! Dottie woke up and the rotation never stops!
Friday July 15th! I go to work. Ryan gets the girls ready to go to Anita's. Ryan and I are excited today because we are taking the girls to see Pooh bear. This is there first movie@ Ryan got off work at lunch. Our friends, Michael and Mary Strickland called to see if we wanted their swing set for the girls. So Ryan and Pops went to get it. That afternoon everyone met at Anita's. Even Lovey and Papa came to see the girls before we went to see Pooh. Papa had to go see his heart surgeon for the last time we hope. Papa is having PVC's. Renae was already at Anita's playing with Dottie. We all socialized for a little while and I showed Lovey and Papa where we were going to build our house.
Off to see Pooh Bear! Pops, Anita, Renae and Matthew went with us. We sat at he very top so Mel and Dottie could see. Mel sat and watched the whole movie in Ryan's lap. Dottie went back and forth between Anita and myself. the girls did great. Not one cry or tear! After the movie, we went to the Chop House to eat supper. Between a long day, movie and supper the girls were worn out@ We went home and they were out along with Ryan and myself.

4th of July to Chick-fil-a
I was on-call the weekend of and on July 4th. Aunt Renae kept Dottie that Saturday night while we got to have some one-on-one time with Melonee. Lovey, Papa, and Kayla came up for a little while to shop and eat. We went to Wasabi to eat supper. Melonee did not know what to think about the hibachi grill. However, we all enjoyed our dinner.
Sunday, I went in to work....Ryan and Melonee went to church at North Blvd. I got off work earlier than usual so I came home and peeled some fresh peaches!!! Melonee was completely asleep by the time they got home. When Melonee woke up we headed to Anita's and ate lunch with Daddy's family. Dottie was so happy to see us. Renae took her to church at Tusclum with Pop's and Anita. So we had a wonderful lunch. We pretty much lounged the rest of the day!
Monday July 4th. I again go into work! However, it turns out to be a pretty quiet day. I am done by lunch and we get to head to Decherd to celebrate with Lovey, Pops, Kayla, Alice, Kay, Grannie, Candace and Bobby. We always have a blast! Food was great...company was wonderful....fireworks were a blast!!! Melonee was a little leery of the fireworks so we had to really ooh and aah after each one. Dottie fell asleep right before the action started. Well, I had to work on the 5th so we left the girls with Lovey. Alice and Kay helped keep the girls on Tuesday.
The girls did great at Lovey's on Tuesday. We met Lovey and Pops in Manchester that evening...while we were there we decided to stop by and see Tata and Cousin Cindy. Tata really enjoys seeing the children. She gets so excited when we come to see her. Melonee jumped right in and made herself at home. She played with Tata. Dottie was happy to sit in her lap and enjoy being with Tata. We had just learned that Cindy has thyroid cancer. However, she looked great and has a very positive attitude. That is what counts.
On Wednesday, I tried to take the girls to see a puppet show at the Library. Well, that worked for about 10 min. We got there late so parking was awful...in fact I had to make my own spot. Then we had to make a spot to sit down. Just when I think that we are going to do good, the puppet master gets an alligator out and it eats the dentist...Melonee cried and got so upset so we had to leave...Dottie and the other children thought this was very funny by the way. So I took Mel and Dot outside and we walked around outside for a while. We made it back to the car just in time! The rain came!
Melonee has learned to push the stepping stool around and get up to the counter. She is helping me cook here. She likes to get in the corner where the mixer is and play with Dottie's bottles and her cups.
I think that she is telling me how to do something. She is very serious when she gets to talking and pointing.
Dottie had just woke up from a nap and was super cute so I had to get some pictures of her!!
Thursday I tried to get ready for Bible study and for our trip to Chick-fil-a (cow appreciation day...dress like a cow and get a free meal!). So I got our cow outfits ready...nothing spectacular but a fun outing nonetheless.
Melonee enjoying her french fries at Chick-fil-a. What a sport!
Dottie is a trooper for sure. She could not eat but that did not stop her from having fun!
Speaking of troopers here is the super trooper here. Daddy was also having a blast. Look at those spots!
Look it is a tail!
We had a wonderful week!!!!
