February Fun!

This month was a blur (as were the past 4, ha!) but we are in full swing crazy fun!!!!  I couldn't survive the evenings with Leevi being out of town without Hailey's help!  Kailee and Luke are also tremendously helpful with Whitney, but it's obviously easier for Hailey since she's older.  
The girls help with Whitney while I get Luke settled for the night.
Milk break before the drive home after grocery shopping!
She's got the magic touch!
That's one loved babe!!!


Heeheehee

This was on the back of one of Kailee's school papers.



Kai doing her reading homework with Whit.
My workout partners!  Luke does such a good job keeping her entertained!
Strong baby!!



Whitney's room is just off of the kitchen and Luke was babysitting while I started dinner and he called me in to see what he made for Whitney!  :)


Hot wheels explosion this month!!!  Every few days he created a new track system!
Hanging out while Cody napped.
The Hulk is a great babysitter!
 Our beautiful girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And handsome boy!
A photo of reality!!!!!  This was a crazy day of way too much running around and no time to clean as I went!!!
So impressed with his snot bubble, eewww!!!
Spring clean up at their fort out back!
This cracked me up!!!  Two ten year olds not wanting to let go of their childhood...they thought this ramp was sooooooo cool until they had to keep running up and down to get their cars.  They fizzled out after the first 2-3 runs and here are trying to convince the other to go get the cars, ha!!!  Meanwhile the boys can play at this for hours!!!!!
First worm of the spring!
I'm bummed this is upside down, but he loves to play around her!!
Constant monster truck rallys in the basement!

Leevi usually cuts his hair, but we visited the real barber shop since Daddy is away!
Sweetness!!!
You know he loves her when he lets her chew on his monster trucks!!!
I came out of Whitney's room after getting her down for one last evening nap and found the girls reading Luke his bedtime stories!  Melt my heart!!!

Whitney Emma, 4 months!

Eekkk, I'm behind again and need to get this posted before Whitney turns 5 months in a few days!!!!  This sweet sweet girl is still rockin the status as the easiest MacDonald baby!!!  She is adored by ALL and makes us swoon!!!!  I'm in total survival mode with Leevi being gone at the school in Va and she really does her part in making my job as a single mom of FOUR a little more manageable!!! 

She is getting super fun and interacts with the kids and gives them the biggest smiles (while she pulls their hair or ears!!!!)  She's able to go in the exersaucer now and loves it for about 10 minutes, ha!  She found her piggy toes this month which is one of my favorite baby stages!!!  She is still sleeping great at night and has dropped her 10pm feeding and goes down now about 8pm and will sleep until 3-4, nurse quickly and goes back down until 7-8.  She's still swaddled in the rocker in my room and I'll milk that out as long as I can.  With the move approaching in the next few months, I'm sure she'll get all messed up! 

She's 13lbs, 14oz and 24 inches long....waaaayyyyy lighter than her chubby wubby siblings at this age (the girls were 16 and 17lbs and Luke was 18lbs!!!!!)
 A fun little piggy toe photoshoot!!!!!!!!



Crazy toes!!
Sweet little smile!!!

Her cheeks and thighs are chunking out, but she still has these skinny little arms!



Talking after her nap!



Helping me make dinner!
The love he has for her makes my heart burst!


So patient being drug around to her siblings activities!!!

Getting close to sitting unsupported!
She used to get frustrated when she couldn't get her mouth on this!!



Sweet brother wanted in on the pictures!


And so did the other crazies!!!!!
Whitney is like, "Seriously, mom, do I have to claim them???!!!"
Best we could do!



We love you sweet girl!
