ADITLO Mina 2010

It's that time of year again. Mama does a special "A Day in the Life of Mina" every July 17th. There were so many pictures that it took her a while to get to the blog. Here goes. Good morning.Good morning. Good morning. Good morning to you. Good morning. Good morning. I looooove you.Let's get Charlotte!Good morning. Good morning. Good morning to you. Good morning. Good morning. I loooooove you. Mwah!I want to play with my playhouse!I put on my dress mostly by myself.Mama left some water out after her workout.Cereal time with Daddy.Snuggle and Chew-I time with Mama.I stole Mama's banana.At least I threw it away when I was done with it.I wanna play with my play house!Look at me!Look at that dog hair. Gross!Grrrrr!Make up time.A little bronzer really makes me pretty.Get me!I love the hair dryer!You need me?I climb on Daddy while Mama nurses Charlotte.He loves me.Charlotte's toys are awesome. This is what I do while she gets her diaper changed.I got my diaper changed too. See?!We're ready to go bye-bye.It's Macy!She's so strong.We were looking at some animals at Oleson Park.Daddy needed me for a while.Hailey and Macy kept me in line.Mama needed me for a while too.I fed some goats some clover.We stopped at the splash pad since I found Art in the Park to be pretty boring. That's me wearing just a white diaper cover. Mama's camera battery died after this picture.Daddy's camera phone to the rescue! More cousins showed up at lunch time.Milo had his face painted.Mama has more pictures from the splash pad and with cousins, but she doesn't know how to use her Blackberry yet.

I had Cheetos at the park, but Mama insisted that I eat some healthier food before nap time.I took a long nap and woke up happy.Daddy and Charlotte were there to greet me.Mama and her kissing...Daddy told me good night and took off to go fix a jaw.I didn't want to wear clothes and sat on my potty for a while. I didn't go and haven't gone yet.I wanted to help Mama cook supper, but she didn't want me to get close to the boiling water so I threw a fit.Mmmm....noodles.We snuggled before bed time.I brushed my teeth for two minutes.And I spit!We played with my play house upstairs for a bit.We read some books.Good night!
Mama did ADITLO Charlotte too so look for that in the next few days.

Helper

I've been Mama's helper the last week. She's been making baby food for Charlotte and I help by cleaning the bowl out. Avocado, yum!Charlotte's high chair arrived and we spent a morning putting it together. My help resulted in some yelling. Mama had to apologize to me for being a mean mommy. Maybe I was asking for it when I ran around with a screwdriver while she was nursing my sister?Charlotte kept busy during all the commotion.I put on some pajamas the other night. Comfy, huh?I accessorized myself. I'm too cool.I let Mama put in a ponytail. Sidenote: Notice that I'm calling her Mama. I've always called her Mama, but lately started calling her Mommy (because that's what they say in Pinkalicious, my favorite book) so she's trying to get me start calling her Mama again. I called her Mama and snuggled her like a little baby this morning. She said I was really cute and kissed me on my nose.Daddy took the family for a tour of his office. We tried out the gorgeous chairs.I tried out Daddy's chair with him.Daddy listened to my tummy because I needed a doctor. I need a doctor about 10 times a day.We've been enjoying the frog "pond" in our backyard. Every day there are more and more frogs. There are a bunch of tadpoles growing in there.Bubba is like a puppy again. He's so happy living at the new house.I tried corn on the cob for the first time last night. It was delicious and really fun to eat.I help keep Charlotte entertained. She loves it when I get really loud and in her face. That's a good thing because that's what I like to do.Daddy installed my new swing this weekend so we gave it a try.I also did some belly swinging like Matthew taught me.Peek-a-boo!I like my new slide too.Daddy went on the smaller slide. He must not be as brave as me.The frogs did a piggy back ride all day yesterday. Cool, huh?
Have a great week! I know I will. I went to McDonald's and played all morning. Ronald McDonald is awesome.

Rainbow Kisses

We're such happy girls. Aren't our parents so lucky?I love to eat at the breakfast bar.Surprise!I love kisses and all, but they can't compare to pudding.I'll take some of that, Macy.Determined ballerina.Hailey is very fashionable.Intense fruit cutting.Grandma Rullestad came to visit so we had to take a picture.We went to Kennedy Park the other day and Mommy took a bunch of blurry pictures. This was the best of them. At least Mommy got me out of my purple shirt for a day.I loved the fireworks on Friday night. I sat on Mommy for a while and then Grandma. I yelled out "Pretty!" and "Awesome!" There's nothing more fun than being with my family. My cousins really wear me out so I sleep in and take long naps after I've played with them.
Charlotte's blog will be updated later today. Stay tuned.
