Big Daddy and the Gang: Finally walking!!!

Finally walking!!!

Makayla started taking a few steps a month or so ago, and now for about 2 weeks, she is preferring to walk rather than the butt scoot that she's been doing for about 6 months. She's also talking a little more; you can hear some of her animal sounds in the video.

today is also a fun day for us because my sister Sandi and her boys are arriving. They will be spending Christmas with us. Sandi's husband is in the Air Force, stationed in Korea this year. We're excited to spend the holidays with her. We'll miss you Jeremy. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. God Bless.

She looks like a little walking pro! It's hard to believe she's only been walking for 2 weeks...she looks so steady.

funny happenings

Makayla threw her food on the floor when she was done eating. I got after her about making a mess that we would have to clean up. She responded that "Bosco (the dog) clean up". True point.
Brynn: mama, mama, mama. Karen: ooohh. mama, mama, mama. Makayla: No, dada
I take the dog when I go for walks. Not necessarily because I like to, but because he likes to. He does well off-leash, and it is less bother for me to have to keep saying, "heel. Heel" So today and gentleman standing at the bus stop asked me as I passed him if I was new in Tempe. I responded, "no." He said, "dogs need to be on leashes or they will take them away." My response: "Well, I don't really like the dog anyway."
Makayla likes to tell people "excuse you" when they burp or toot. Her's sounds like 'scuse you ('scuse you daddy, 'scuse you mommy). Even when the dog burped, she said, 'scuse you, boy.
We hired a company called 2 Amigos landscaping to do some work around the house. Mark keeps calling them 3 Amigos instead.
Mark was having some chest pain, and was convinced he was having a heart attack and dying. He felt like he needed to tell people goodbye because he was dying. He said to Makayla: "tell daddy goodbye." Makayla, in her little happy voice, "goodbye daddy"
Mark: sorry I didn't help out much tonight. Karen: That's ok, I'll just take care of it tomorrow. Mark: oh, I was hoping you would say that I actually did help out a lot tonight
My 13 y/o female patient was in for a well check, and was complaining of some bumps on her upper inner thigh. As I examined her, she kept saying how weird it was to have someone touching her. Her grandmother and I kept reassuring her that this is what a physical is all about. She finally got fed up with it, so when the visit was almost over, and my assistant was about to give her an immunization, she said, "ya'll's nasty" and left the exam room, and out of the building.
I was bathing both girls, and I took Brynn to the other room to get her dressed, leaving Makayla in the bathtub. I was feeling nervous and called out to Makayla, "Are you ok?" she responded, "No."
Mark was sitting on the toilet, and left the door open. Makayla walked by and said "Nice, daddy"
Mark to Bosco, the dog: You know better than that. You are 4 years old, and in dog years that is 4 times 7, so you are 21 years old.
Mark: can I have those shoes? Karen: how much are they? Mark: less than $100. (note: they were $99)
