Jumping JellyFish!

Well, most of us know how much Nikelle loves Yo Gabba Gabba. They are coming in November, and have no fear, we will be there. I know she is one, but if you knew how much she adores the characters, then I think you would go too. Plus, you only get this chance, at this age, once...right??

The other day she was watching her show, and all the sudden she started doing the "dancy dance," of the day. This episode was the Jumping Jelly fish. Yes, she has seen this episode many times, but lately has tried to copy what they do. She was so proud of herself.

The moves go: arms up wiggle them around, drop it down...jumping jellyfish.

(This was the second go around, so it wasn't as long)

And, don't mind the mess, I was packing for my trip and organizing some things.

This is Nelle, in her basket. She adopted this basket and now sits and relaxes in it...daily!

Nikelle Spring Time Pictures

It was finally Spring, all we waited for was the flowers. Finally!! My friend and co-worker, Cathy, was able to use this amazing yard to get some adorable pictures of Nikelle. She did an amazing job. She says they are "unedited," but they are great!

We did have a hard time to get Nikelle to smile, but we did it later at night and a few days later she started another fever. This time it was another bladder infection. Poor baby! And, we had just got over the 105 fevers the week before! Now, we need to go back into testing. So, on June 10th, she will be sadated, and then more tests will be done to look at her bladder. Hopefully, it was just a fluke infection and not the reflux she has had. I will keep you updated on that.

More about Nikelle.....she is talking so much. Greatfully, she has learned the word "no". She loves "cuckies", which are ducks. AND, don't forget "MUNO"! I am proud to announce that she has now mastered the beginning of Yo Gabba Gabba and can say all the characters name in order (with the exception of fufa, she still is Tutie). She can say Apple Juice, for anytime she wants something to drink. She has also mastered the doggy door. This way she can help herself out to the "side" anytime she pleases! All I need to say is...I really do love her!

On the brighter side, I only have 10 more days of work and then I get to spend a wonderful summer with my baby girl. I can not wait! I also get a chance to go to Boston at the end of June, and I am supper excited! It will be hard to leave Nelle, but it's one of those chances that don't happen all the time.

Easter

I thought since my computer was finally letting me do what I wanted to do, I would post another. Here are some pics from Easter. She was soooo much fun this year. She loved to gather eggs. She had no idea that there was candy in some until later (like 5 or 6 that night). The fun thing was we could just take a handful of eggs and hide them wherever we went and she thought it was the most amazing thing. What a cute girl, I must say!

Squeeky Shoes

Nikelle is getting so big! She is now 19 months and weighs just over 21 lbs. She is such a joy to be around. I love that she is learning new words like: no, no nap, no (with a dirty look), and so many others. She has discovered the outdoors, and helps herself through the doggy door. She does crack us up!


Nikelle loves Gabba and will ask for "muno". If you don't know who Muno is, well he is the big orange/red guy on Yo Gabba Gabba. Every night before she goes to bed we sit on my bed and watch Muno. I don't know if it is a good or bad thing, but I guess she is only little once, and just a little extra cuddle time is worth it.


So, Nik's sister sells squeeky shoes. I have to say, I do love them. Nikelle does too! She now can get into her drawer and find her shoes. Most of them she puts on by herself. Well, she started this thing. When you put them on she dances. We call it the squeeky shoe dance. Nik started making noices (he calls it beat boxing...good thing he stays with his day job). Now, Nikelle would dance to this. One night we got this on video...

Christmas and more!

Well, this might be long. My Christmas break started last week, and it has been a blast to stay home with Nikelle. We have had some fun times together.

Wednesday, after Nik got off work, we headed over to the Christmas village. Since we have all been sick, we havn't made it to Santa. Well, we went to see him, and this is what she thought.







ummm, pretty sure she didn't like him to much! I think she did enjoy the hot chocolate (after it was cool enough, of course) and looking at most of the houses. oh well, maybe next year?

Then the celebrations started!!

It all started Christmas eve. She decided to wake up around 7, which is way early for her. This is what she decided to do: (it's a little dark, sorry)
You need to watch on the left side, you will see her. It is the Elmo live that we got her last year.

Then we went to my mom's and dad's to celebrate Christmas. She got spoiled (or in other words: loved a lot) I think this was a good practice for Christmas morning. She got a doll that has buttons, zippers, velcro, and all the fun stuff to practice. She got a doll house, and a Tinkerbell table.

This is what Santa brought

Christmas morning was a blast! She got up, and walked down the hallway, stared at everything, and leaned against the couch. We asked her if she was going to see what Santa got her. She got supper excited, ran to things and started showing us what she got. We got it all on video. Good thing I only wrapped three things. We would have been there forever. We got her a chair and I thought for sure that would be the thing. Well, she loved her baby stuff more. The stroller has gone everywhere in our house. Of course, she puts the baby in there. The cutest thing, she tries to give her babies her binky, but of course they don't want it so, she takes it! I do think Nik and I enjoyed it since we love toys and this gave us a reason to play with them.

Dad and Nelle playing with the blocks

After we went and seen our grandma's we headed over to Nik's parents. There, she got loved a lot again. She got a baby, cute clothes, and a purse with pretties (braclets and a necklace). We all played rock band and watched Nikelle and Anniston dance.
The girls got cute piggy jammies and we all got Grinch ones. They were black with Grinch's on the feet. So, our new band name is the Grinches (I know, thoughtful).




Nikelle liked the boy's game chairs.


My cute nephew, Dallas, we are in the box.



Then he wanted Nikelle in the box too. Then he tried to squish me.

The girls in their piggy's and Harmon's Aprins......

Nikelle was getting supper tierd, way past her bed time, but she doesn't sleep when things are going on. So, she decided to dance instead. I'm going to say she had a nice Christmas, Thanks to everyone!
