Baking With Mama

Mama and Mabel have been busy bak­ing in the kitchen late­ly and Mabel has even been invit­ing her friends. In this pic­ture, she’s show­ing off her cam­ou­flag­ing abilities…with flour.

Happy Birthday, Mabel

As a mama, these past two years have gone fast. I look at videos and pic­tures from pre­ced­ing days/months and I can’t hard­ly relate. I am for­tu­nate to be here with Mabel near­ly all moments of her life, so I sup­pose I am immune to the dai­ly changes, as I expe­ri­ence each one with her. 

At her two-year check-up, poor lit­tle Mabel had dropped to the 5th per­centile for weight. She is 23 pounds sol­id. Only 15 ounces more than she was six months ear­li­er (at her pre­vi­ous check-up). With the roller-coast­er of the gluten issues, her weight has cer­tain­ly tak­en a hit. Regard­less, we are hap­py to have such a hap­py girl!

Being two, she got to have two friends over: Lex­ie and Eliz­a­beth. Could there be a more per­fect video to express their per­son­al­i­ties? What a won­der­ful mem­o­ry for us to be cap­tured on video (thanks to Lex­ie’s mama).

Making Bread

Mabel loves pulling up her lit­tle wood­en tow­er next to mama in the kitchen and help make din­ner, or snack, or just keeps mama com­pa­ny. It’s real­ly quite sweet. 

(added by Mama–in the begin­ning, while hand­ing dad­dy some dough, she is say­ing “eat it, dad­dy! eat it, daddy!”)

Mabel’s Phone

Mabel has adopt­ed a new ‘phone,’ which hap­pens to be the remote con­trol to our mini-stereo. She uses it to ‘call’ every­one she knows. Includ­ing ‘dog­gie Uuuna.’
