First Teeth Cleaning

Mallory had her first teeth cleaning today at Dr Bogle's office!
Mallory was so excited to go to my "work" to get a toy out of the toy box and to see Jackie!
Jaclyn's patient had cancelled so we put Mals in the chair and Jaclyn cleaned her teeth!
Mallory did sooo much better than I thought she would! She screams every time we go to Dr Jones office and the one time I took her to Dr Powells office, we could barely do the exam! :)
I think Mallory did so much better today was because she knows the office as Mommy's work and it's fun because there are toys! I'm sure she felt more comfortable with Jaclyn too verses someone she didn't know because Jaclyn and I get our kids together on the weekends!
I would have cleaned Mallory's teeth myself but Jaclyn has a more qualified license than I do and I know she does great work!
Mallory wanted Talen the Tiger to tickle her teeth & bubble gum paste to clean them!
Mallory chose a green toothbrush and a purple dinosaur flosser to take home!
Dr Bogle started to come in to do an exam but Mallory was a little nervous about that one, so we will just wait until next time! I wanted today's visit to be only a happy one so she will want to come back!
Here is a little card that Nonnie (Elaine-our Office Manager) made Mallory for her scrapbook! 

Mallory did a great job! No crying and all smiles! So proud of her!! Yay!

Full Weekend!

We were super busy this weekend! It was great though!
We had a bunch of things to go to but they were all fun!
Friday morning, the kids and I hung out at the house and relaxed!
Colton is really enjoying his toy! We got this activity center down from my parents attic (it used to be Mallory's) and he loves it! Colt loves to stand so its been great for him!
I love when Mallory talks to Colt. Its sooo cute! I love how his face lights up!
(I took the picture on my phone, so its not the best lighting!) 
Saturday, we woke up and went to Gymnastics class with Stephanie and Tucker!
Mallory did great again this week! Afterwards, we went to try a new sandwich truck called Benaddiction. Tiffany met us there! We all loved our sandwiches! We will probably go back next Saturday or maybe back to Judy's for donuts! :)
That afternoon we headed to Pump It Up in Madera for Brixton's 3rd Birthday Party!
Mallory had a blast!! That place is soo fun!
 The slides are huge! Mallory did great though! We got a funny video, so I'll post it later!
 Sunday we went to baby Cash's blessing. I posted about that separately!
Monday, the kids and I went to the Fresno Zoo with Jackie and her cute kids!
Colton sat in the stroller for the first time! Yay! Normally, I have to put him in the front pack and Mals in our single stroller! Having them both in the stroller made it so much easier on me!  

What a fun weekend!

4 Months Old

Colton David is 4 Months Old today!!! Yay!
Colton is growing and changing everyday!
 I love to watch all the small differences in him week by week!
Colton is currently wearing size 6 months clothes!!
This is funny for me since Mallory could still fit into 0-3 month clothes at 4 months old!
Here is Colton in a 6 month size outfit that Mimi got him for Christmas and it is already tight!
Colt had his 4 month physical appointment with Dr Jones this week!!
 Poor baby had to get 4 shots and an oral drink! He did pretty good though! Colt spent most of the rest of the day napping! We gave him the Advil every 8 hours for a little bit and it seemed to help even though he had a temperature of 100.6!
At 4 months old, Colty is 17 inches long, 25 2/4 inches tall (75%) and 14.9 pounds!
He has gained 7 pounds since he was born!! Crazy!
On Coltons actual 4 month birthday he rolled over from his back to his stomach! He had been rolling over occasionally from his stomach to his back so this was a fun suprise!
I laid him on the board to take the picture and the first thing he did was try to roll over! Sweet guy!
 Colty loves to eat his hand and any toy he can get a hold of!!
He is a drooling machine because of this!
 Looking so big next to the measuring moose!
Mallory sure loves her baby brother! She loves to be everywhere with him! She has been such a great help! Mals loves to get me diapers, annouce when he is crying by saying Colty awake now and giving him kisses! She told Colt to hold her hand in this picture! It was the cutest thing! Poor girl didn't understand that Colt doesn't quite know how to do that yet!
Love our cute kids!

Music Class

A couple of weeks ago, I took Mallory to this music class. We had a really good time and I loved how organized the class was so I signed Mallory up for the 15 week course. Its called "Our Time" Kindermusik with Miss Angie. She is a licensed educator, has a degree in music and has a great lesson plan for the semester! The course comes with a fun take home kit that includes some instruments, a CD, and a song book!! Here is a picture from the first class! My brother was able to come with us which was a huge help!!

Girls Night

I took little Miss Mal Pal to get her toes done tonight for a little girl time at our favorite place! Mallory LOVED it! I knew she would. Se loves it when I do them at home!
Mallory sat really still and had her serious face on! She picked blue with sparkles. Very cute!


 
In other news, I started back to work this week. Its just part time so I can get out of the house and the kids can hang out with their Mimi. Mimi even got Colty to take a bottle both days!! Yay!
