February Update

Tanith loves Hutch...we all do!

How big am I now?

Height: 44.25 inches
Weight: 43 lbs.

Interesting Stuff:

• Tanith really wanted to help fold and put away the laundry (pic below). She did a really great job in sorting and folding the clothes. When it was time to put everything away, I told her I would do it because I knew where everything goes. She proceeded to tell me she knows exactly where everything goes, because she watches everything I do.  Oh my!

I think we got our monies worth out of this dress up outfit...I believe she wears it a few times a day, every day!

 

Things I only eat when I am at Grandma/papa's house.  Meat on bones...and loves it!

 

Tanith is adjusting well to her new school and even making some good friends, or as Tanith says "my bestest friend"!

Tanith and Aubrey.

 

My little helper. Taking advantage of her wanting to help with chores...I know the day will come when I need to "enforce" this type of task. #toolittletoknowbetter (for future reference as this will be considered the thing from the past... this is a Hash Tag, common when referencing pictures.  Translation: To Little To Know Better :)

2/14:  Daddy knows how to make his little girl smile...flowers. Love the tradition of giving flowers on Valentines Day to our beautiful little girl...or I always refer to as my "sweetheart".  She always ask if someone has a sweetheart, which means, do they have little girl or boy.  LOVE!

 

Out with cousins on Valentines for dinner. Weather was amazing today as you can see by their outfits. Gymnastics, lunch with daddy, dinner at Uncle Daryl's restaurant and a walk on the boardwalk, equaled a very good day.

Happy New Year!

How big am I now?
Height: 44.25 inches

Another year passes and a new one full of adventure and growing up is upon us.  I hope this year continues to bring health and happiness for us and our families.

Interesting Stuff:

• The other day while cleaning up the garage, Tanith helped out by stacking up the paint cans. She started to stack them, then stopped, unstacked them and started to rearrange the stack. When we asked her what she was doing, she said, she needed to weigh the cans and place the heaviest cans on the bottom, the next heaviest in the middle and the lightest cans on top.  Her dad and I experienced a loss of words. We then asked why she needed to do it that way and she replied, so they don't fall over.  So smart, but yet struggles with her sight words :)
• Had her first "grounding"...the punishment was no dress up for a week.  Tanith did not listen and talked back to her daddy when coming home from Disney.  It was bad enough to deserve a lecture and taking away something she loves.  She is such a good girl, but she also needs to realize mommy and daddy will not let her do whatever she wants, that she needs to listen and not argue our decisions.  I am sure we will need to have this conversation with her again, but better she learns this now before she is a teen.

 Someone had a long day!!!

 

 Tanith loves her grandpa!

 

Thank you Nagel family...Tanith loved her gift.

 

5/11 was a Frozen rainy day. 

We played Frozen board/card games and watched the movie Frozen...of course dressed as Elsa the whole time!

 

 Loves rainy days, do not have too many of these so she needs to take advantage of the fun while she can.

 Love the outfit...our fashionista! 

Indian Princesses have a pizza making party.

 

Tanith and mommy dress up fun. Tanith loves dress up and doing mommy's hair

 Jan 24 and 80 degrees outside.  Taking advantage of this beautiful hot "Summer" like day. Playing with cousins and walking to get ice cream cones equals a wonderful day.

 

Daddy and Tanith Day...guess where :)

 

 

Wrapped up the end of the month with a mommy and Tanith day at Disneyland/California Adventure.
