My Baby Girl is 6

On Monday, November 2, Mikaela turned 6 years old.

We haven't done her yearly check up yet, so I don't have stats, but she's tall and keeps growing, despite her poor eating habits.

Food she likes:  sweets, mac n cheese, some chicken nuggets, grilled cheese, raisins, green grapes, cheese, yogurt, apples, bananas, pumpkin bread, chocolate and white milk

Activities she enjoys:  riding her bike (still trying to master no training wheels), running, coloring, watching t.v, singing

She is taking tap and ballet as well as piano.  She's doing a little better each week.

School is going well.  It's been an adjustment and she has her off days, but overall she likes it.

We had her party on Halloween this year so all her friends could wear their costumes.  Due to rainy weather, the party moved into the garage, but they still had a great time.

 Party's over.  She looks sad, doesn't she?

Halloween

I am a few days behind, but I wanted to blog about Halloween.  On Tuesday, 10/29, Mike took Mikaela to Chick-fil-a for Trunk or Treat.  She had a great time going to different trunks and also getting her face painted.  It was a good daddy-daughter date.

On Halloween, we took some pre-costume pictures before heading out to Trick-or-Treat in my parent's neighborhood.

Then the kids got dressed up for the main event.  Nicholas was a cow for his first Halloween.

Nicholas stayed with Graemma and Aunt Amy to help pass out candy while we walked the neighborhood.  Mikaela was very independent this year, unafraid to go up to people's doors, knock or ring the bell, and say trick-or-treat.  She had a great time.  Leaving one house, she exclaimed, "The is the best Halloween!"

We had a great time building memories.

Stay tuned for Mikaela's 4 year old post.  I am waiting for dr stats tomorrow to post.  I'll include her birthday party when I do.
