Aliyah Gives Love to Uncle John John

Michael went over and sat by John to watch cartoons. Aliyah likes to copy everything Michael does especially when it comes to attention from others. So....needless to say it didn't take long for her to make her way over to the couch with Uncle John John. Finally! It has been a LONG time coming but I am so glad he was able to get some Le-Le love! It appears as though Michael would rather watch Sponge Bob than take pictures right now.

Thanks for the visit Uncle John and Aunt Candy!

Aliyah Plays with Papa

Michael Reads to Nana

Early Easter Baskets!

Nana and Papa spoil these kids!

Our visit this weekend to Nana and Papa's house came with many goodies for the kids. Michael found some money in his eggs!

So did Aliyah, but she was more excited to get food. Imagine that!

Aliyah looks on while....you guessed it! She eats!

Aliyah would know that underwear doesn't go on the head if her stubborn butt would tell me she has to go before it happens, not after!

Opening Easter Baskets

Aliyah's First Song

I caught her singing to her babies today.

I ran to get my camera and by the time it started rolling she wouldn't sing.

So, it takes awhile but she does sing to them again.

Who Let Them Leave the House Like This?

This is what happens when I ask Morris to help get the kids ready for school:)

Just kidding. Today was "Mix Matched" day at school.

Papa!

Papa! Was all I could say then laugh.....

For those of you who don't know, Papa does this to the grandkids ALL the time.

Now Michael appears to be playing the same tricks on his sissy.

My Kookie Little Girl

Why? I don't know but this girl gets so silly

when it is time to change her and put her

in her pj's. She starts dancing, singing, laughing

or anything else that may prolong the onset of bedtime.

Learning To Put Pants On

So, this has been her new thing lately.

Here she is trying on one of her new spring outfits.

I love how she grabs her foot with her hand to place it in the correct place:) So Cute!

Hew new word this week is "Stop, K".

She either says it while pointing her pointer finger at you or by putting her hand up in your face.

She says it to anything or anybody.

Here she is speaking to her pants that don't seem to be doing what she wants them to do.

My Busy Kids at the Kitchen Table

While Michael reviews his numbers...
Aliyah happily scribbles away as if she's working just as hard.

Did you notice? Is she a rightie (like her mom and Michael) or a leftie (like her dad)?
It's tough to tell, she interchanges between the two quite often right now.

It's Official...

Aliyah has graduated from the highchair to the table.
She loves it!
And I love how independent she is at the table (cereal and all!)

Working at the Art Table

These two find themselves here often.

Michael is so good about getting paper for his sissy and sharing his space:)

Gifts of Love from Nana!

Love Notes from Nana and Papa!
No Surprise, Aliyah went for the treats first!

What's in the bag?

Michael's First Soccer Ball!

He loves it!

Thanks Nana and Papa!

Caught Michael Reading to His Sister!

He is such a good big brother (most of the time)!
