Myleigh's 8/9 month check up

 

Today Myleigh had her check up this time she only gained 6 oz she is now 15.6 lbs.  Her pediatrician said it could happen if she is getting mobile. And yes she crawls all around the house and never stops. There are times where I turn around for a minute and she is gone.
Her pediatrician said she is an early crawler which he said is a good thing for her but hard for the mommy!!

She is 26.7 in long,  when she was born she was 19.8 in long. She is growing to fast for me, where did the time go? Where did my baby go? Next thing I no she is going to be walking around. 

This time around she only got 2 shots the booster for the flu and another one that they didn't have the last time. She did really good cried only for a minute. Her next check up will be at 1. Oh man time does fly. I love this little girl with all my heart she helps complete this family.

Christmas

Christmas this year was simple, we told the kids don't expect to much for Christmas with 5 kids its getting more expensive every year so we cut it down a lot this year. There response was Christmas isn't about gift. The best response we could have heard.

Kenzie and Braxton had fun making cookies for Santa hopefully he likes a lot of frosting 

This year Ashleigh and Jackson had Christmas morning with there mom so when our kids woke up they were excited to see what they got from Santa even though each kid got 2 presents from Santa they couldn't be happier. After they were able to open a few gifts from under the tree and then waited patiently for Ashleigh and Jackson to come over a 1.

Woke up in there new pajamas

  

Kenzie got her baby alive and Just dance 3, Braxton got a D.S and Avenger costumes

and Myleigh got a learning toy.

Ashleigh got a 22

I think they need to brush there teeth!!!

 After playing with toys and games we went over to my parents house and had a nice Christmas dinner with Josh and his girlfriend, my older sister Marie and her fiance and my Nephew Robert. We played just dance 3 that kenzie got from Santa. I was so worried about it being super sad and hard with the passing of Melissa this year. But while we were over there I felt her love and every now and then I could hear her volume 10 singing and just being Melissa. I sure did miss my loved ones this Christmas. But I am happy to say that even though they are not here on earth I can feel there spirits in my heart. It actually didn't feel like Christmas until I got to my parents house I'm  not sure why that is but maybe Melissa, Mike and Jessica were just awaiting for that moment to come in spirit and fill my parents house with there love.

Merry Christmas to All and to All a good night!!!!

Sitting Here

I'm just sitting her with Myleigh while she is sleeping in my arms, pretty sweet I think.
 I had a dentist appt today so my kids went to my mom and dads house and when I went and picked them up they wanted to stay and play. So when I got home I got my House cleaned and vacuumed and now it is so quiet I don't know what to do. I actually miss the noises of my kids playing and screaming. I clearly don't understand why some people try and always pond there kids off or have them go and watch TV so they are out of there hair. I actually really miss it. Even though ya it is hard to be a stay at home mom with a 7 year old a 5 year old and an 8 month old but I sure do love them and miss them when they are not here even if the kids drive me crazy a lot lately haha. I really don't like them gone that long and its been 4 hours since I've seen them. I don't know what I will do when they decide they want to start going to school.
Yes my house has stayed cleaned for the 4 hours they have been gone, but I would rather have a messy house and have my kids and enjoy there memories than sending them off all time and keeping my sanity. But I am glad that they are spending time with Grandma and Grandpa and having memories with them but I sure do miss them.
