The Little Hardhead

Today Mia is the epitome of the terrible two hardhead. I read her a story then Mike read her a story before bedtime. For twenty minutes she fussed and Mike got in and out of her room to give her quiet time. Each time she took off her pajamas and got butt naked because she knew that would get a reaction from us. The third time when this happened at 9, Mike said this was it as he dressed her again. She in no time did it again so he left the room. Since then she has been crying and throwing everything from the bed to the floor. She pushed the lamp down, put on a new pair of pants at ankle length and sat on the floor butt naked, bawling and asking for me and Mike to come in in both English and Chinese. Since she knew how to open a locked door now, Mike has been staying outside the door, holding the door knob for an hour so she could not open it. It's a struggle of will. Our two year old has such strong will after an hour she's still whining and asking me to come give her a hug. We are about to die!... but we can't give in!! This is horrible.

Walk of Lighs

This is the second year we visit Meadowlark. Mia had so many purple trees around her.

Little Artist

Mia's advent calendar surprise today is a box of paint. It is her first wayer painting.

Fashionista

I bought a pair of new heels. Mia opened the box and immediately wanted to try the shoes on herself. She also commented on how pretty they looked. She's my girl!

Kenzie is grabbing very well now. She has also rolled over several times. Sincei went to work, she has been taking between 15 to 17 oz of milk daily. She is growing into a big happy baby.

Xmas light show

Took both girls out to a regional park this evening for the xmas light show. Two and half mile stretch of road was lit with all sorts of lights. Mia sat on my lap since we were moving 3 miles an hour and she couldn't see in the back. She had a good time while Kenzie slept through.

Official Santa Picture

here is the official Santa picture from yesterday. Mia did well considering she was always crying in front of Santa ever since she was a baby. Kenzie on the other hand was quite content being on Santa's lap.

I started working this Monday and it has been a tough week, having to get up at 5 and leave by 6ish. Kenzie was doing ok. She's still having a cold and cough. She ate about 15 ozs while I was away during the day and did not nap quite as much since I usually napped with her. She's adjusting just like mama. My baby girl is quiet and a non complainer.

The more I look at them together, the more I don't regret giving Mia a sister.

2014 xmas tree

We got our eight foot tree on Sunday. Today after dinner we started decorating. The girls will go to the mall for Santa pictures tomorrow. 

Kenzie 4 month well check

Kenzie had her well check yesterday. She was 26 3/8 inches tall and weighed at 16 lbs 6 ozs with onesie and diaper. It was below freezing point yesterday so the nurse kept her onesie. Even if i deduct four ozs for her clothes, she is still heavier than Mia at the same age. Mia was 15&5 at for months. Her % is 98 for height and 87 for weight. I did good!

She's grabbing well these days.

Great Falls Father Daughter Day

Mike took Mia to see the falls today. I bundled her up in her favorite color and stayef home with Kenzie. Looks like father amd daughter had a great time.

100 day party

Allergy Test

Mia had her allergy test today due to the lingering eczema over the course of almost three years. I was surprised to findout that ahe was allergic to egg. We were toldto stop all concentrated eggs and baked gooda for two montha to determine of egg was indeed the cause for her eczema. She also had her blood taken after.having thirty pricks at the allergist's. Sh3 was incredibly brave. She didn't cry during the allergy test and had her usual silent cry when she was unhappily surprised and in pain. Her tears were falling out of those big eyes as she turned to me sobbing and saying mama. My heart was in pain seeing her suffering...and i was so proud of her.

It runs in the family

Mike has played trumpet for years and showed Mia how to handle mouth piece. Mia went downstairs yesterday and got the trumpet out

 She wanted to show me how it should be done.

Smiley

Kenzie has been a smiley baby since few weeks old. Everyday when she opens her eyes, she smiles at me and it melts my heart.
