Five on Friday - MA Talking, Eye Remover

Hello friends.  Hope you've had a nice week.  We had a little crazy week between Mills and Molly Anne but I'm hoping they're both on the mend.  We find out today about Mills' biopsy and I just hope it's good news.  

1.  Molly Anne has been saying Mama for a couple months now (which PS I'm obsessed with) and she used to say Dada but that hasn't happened as often lately.  She'll mouth Pop-pa and pop her little lips which is super cute because she does it every day when we FaceTime with my Dad.  She hasn't gotten Nan-nie yet but she does say Nanananana and then she'll say E-E-E so we're working on putting those together.  Kevin taught her E-E-E last weekend because they were singing Wheels on the Bus and he made it part of the song.  Ha!  When we took her to Becky's on Monday, she said E E E when Becky was about to feed them so Becky thought she was saying Eat Eat Eat!

ANYWAY, I am going to ask my friend Kimmy who is a speech therapist how many words by what age they should have.  I'm not going to be nuts about getting her to talk but I can't wait to hear what she has to say.  And I know she has a lot to say!  We're in for a good time in the future haha.  One thing Mom told me to do when she was born was to talk to her...so I talk to her A LOT.  Hahaha!

A quick story - the other morning Molly Anne was sitting in bed with Kevin drinking her milk while I was getting ready.  I said, "Hi Molly Anne."  She said, "Hi!"  I said, "How are you?" She said, "Goo" which I took as "Good."  Who knows if she even knew any of what she was saying but it felt like I was carrying on a conversation with her.  I said - Kevin, did she really just say that stuff?  We both laughed because who knows but it sounded good!  And her very favorite thing to do right now is to wave and say Hi or Bye.  She's very into doing that so I think she knows what all that means.  Heck, I think she knows most everything we say...she certainly understands "No" now whether or not she abides by it, that's a different story!  Still working on blowing kisses, she puts her hand up to her mouth but she doesn't blow the kiss!  

2.  I'm sorry but I think it's so cute when she sits like this.  Hahaha!

3.  A crab monogrammed with her initials?!  My friend Jodie gave this to her and I just think it's the CUTEST thing ever, especially for a crab loving girl like Molly Anne!  ;)

Stop looking like a teenager!!!!

4.  Check out Molly Anne in the cradle that Dad made her.  This was yesterday and I put a comparison picture below.  Also, see that orange thing in her hand?  Child refused to give that to Becky yesterday before we left (it's from Becky's water table).  I took it out of her hand by peeling by her fingers off of it and Molly Anne CRIED yall.  Like real crying with tears.  Becky was kind enough to let her take it home and it didn't leave her little hands.  Let it begin.

5.  Do any of yall have a good eye make up remover?  Let me tell you what I'm tired of doing - showering before bed every night and I wash my face but by the morning, I have smeared mascara under my eyes still.  And I have to dip a Q-tip in the Clinique remover and use that to get it off.  It works but it's annoying to have to do that.  Plus the remover does not travel well and leaks constantly.  I've tried the Neutrogena and Ponds wipes but I still have smears the next morning.  Any ideas that you all love?

PS - Mills is now mad at the world because I put the cone on him this morning.  He licked his paw where his IV was raw because he's bored.  So I hate it but I had to put it on him.  Ugh.  

We have a fun weekend planned and hope you do too!
