Wow. Right now while I am trying to do this, one of my daughters is wrestling a blow up pool whale named Lulu and the other one just grabbed a chair, pulled it in the middle of the room, and is standing up on there screaming "Mama! Mama!" so hopefully that will explain why I am having trouble finding time to write down everything lately!
Melanie has just informed me that she "wants a little brother. I want to keep my sister, but I want a little brother, too." I told her just to ask Daddy and see what he says about that! That should be an interesting conversation.... :)

Busy, busy, busy!
I hate that I have not updated this in almost a month! We have just been busy with fall....football games, tailgating, festivals, school, softball games that don't start until 10 at night, lack of sleep due to a 15 month old with double ear infections, ballet, playdates, catching up with old friends....I could go on and on!
To start, I took my baby girl (who somehow is already 15 months old...don't know when that happened) to the doctor for her well visit, which quickly turned in to a sick visit when the doctor peeked into her ears and winced. I had no idea she was sick, and I felt terrible because I had been getting so frustrated with her for not sleeping the last few nights. She weighs in at 22.2 pounds, and is 32 inches tall...she is quickly catching up with her big sister! It's crazy how fast time is going by!!
Melanie has been as insane and creative as ever! I have been making little notes about things she has said and done the last month so I could remember to write them down.....
1. Melanie isn't in real school yet, but she goes over to Miss Jen's house during the week and she and David do school activities together, and David comes over to our house, too. The very first day she started, it was raining, and Melanie asked me if we could leave early to get to Miss Jen's, because with the rain, there might be traffic. Now, mind you, the Willis' live maybe 10 houses down from us, if that....she was just so excited to be starting "school".
2. Melanie has been telling Bobby for months that her 2 favorite baseball teams are the Red Sox and the Cubs.....(Bobby's teams are the Cardinals and the Yankees, so this does not go over well!!) So one morning, she comes strutting down the stairs and announces to me, out of the blue, that if Bobby decides to buy her a Yankees shirt, she will wear it. Random, but funny!
3. She was driving in the Cozy Coupe at my mom's house a couple weeks ago, and had a cell phone she was using....she was driving and had both hands on the wheel, and the phone tucked under her ear, babbling away to Mickey Mouse. The cell phone while driving was funny enough, but she came prancing up to me and said, "Mickey invited me to a party....ughhhh, I guess I'll go....." Such a diva!! I then asked her what time the party was, and she actually shrugged and said, "11ish." Where does she get her material????
4. Melanie's newest catch phrase is, "No I ant." It's what she says instead of "No I'm not." Any time we are teasing her, she just starts saying. "No I ant!" It's really funny!
5. Although she insists she is not a diva, but a "pop superstar," she sure does act like one! She had her sunglasses and Hannah shirt on the one day, and she looked cute, so I pulled out the camera. Now, I know I probably take way too many pictures of her, but she shouted at me, "Why can't you people just leave me alone?" like I was the paparazzi!! I know she got that from an episode of Hannah, but still, the fact that she used the phrase and reference correctly astounded me!
6. Melanie now talks for Meredith. Whenever Meredith babbles, Melanie translates for me to understand. For example, when Melanie wants to go out to eat, Meredith with say something, and Melanie will say, "Mommy, Meredith wants to go to Tick-a-lay (Chick-fil-A)." The funniest one was when I was up the aisle at the store, and Melanie looked at me and said, "Mommy, Magoo say, "Sweet niblets, where did Mommy go?"
Now, Meredith definitely has a great little personality. She is always so happy, and loves the little jack o' lantern on our hallway light and has to touch it and say "Boo!" every time we walk down the stairs. She has a new obsession....Mickey Mouse! She loves anything Mickey Mouse. Every time Mickey Mouse Clubhouse comes on, she gets up, points at the t.v., claps and dances! She even has an apron with the Mickey Halloween characters that she wears pretty much everywhere!! It's also funny, because whenever Hannah Montana comes on and she hears the song, she gets up and dances and smiles!! The kid loves music!
I love my girlies!!
