Here is the latest video montage of Mali from soccer practice. The first part is last week's practice, and the second part is the first week of soccer. She continues to improve. She was doing great practicing with her Daddy last night.
Here are some things Mali has said lately that just take us off guard or make us laugh:
"Don't touch me because you'll get me dirty and I'm very beautiful right now" said to Uncle Brandon and Josh, who were no where near dirty.
"I can't close my eyes because I'm not made that way"
"Can I wear a skirt?" Asking me and her Daddy when she was getting ready for soccer practice.
"God is in my boobies" I've talked with her about Jesus being in our hearts, and she responded this way, very adamant because her heart is in her boobies.
"You're ruining my life" said to Mimi when she didn't get her way.
"You think you can do these things, but you can't"
Disclaimer: the last TWO statements are a direct influence of Finding Nemo. I deleted it off our DVR and told her if she talks like that we can't watch Finding Nemo.

Good sleeper!
Last night, I fed Eleri at 9 and she didn't wake up at all until 2:45am! So nearly 6 hours and then when I put her back down she slept until 6:55!!! I was thrilled. And I even had a Dr. Pepper yesterday!
Here is the latest video montage of her cuteness!

Update
This is really a non-update update...but we still don't know anything about Eleri's heart murmur. I have to take her for an Echo on April 14th at 8:30am. It is hard waiting, but I'm praying and believing God will heal her little heart!

Auntie Kisha
We made a trip up to Dalhart this weekend to see Auntie Kisha...it was her first time to meet Eleri!
Matching
Something came over me when we gained a new girl in our family, I LOVE matching them! I even like to match myself to them if I can, now I understand how Beth enjoyed matching her family every Sunday. I guess having more than one child just does that to you, especially if they are girls!

The Girls Stats and some hard news
Today we took BOTH girls for their well checks, Mali her 4 year (her old pedi would only do well checks in the summer so when we switched we got Mali in too) and Eleri her 2 month visit. BOTH girls got shots and BOTH girls screamed! Mali threw a huge fit and kicked and kicked the nurse, then she said "please just don't hurt me" and then told the nurse "you're not listenting, please don't hurt me." She got pink ice cream and a Happy Meal from McDonalds to take the pain away. Eleri gave the nurse a huge smile and then got stuck, and screamed. It was heart breaking!
So here are their stats:
Mali-32lbs and 42 inches tall. Her weights is in the 50th percentile and height in the 90th percentile!!! She is tall but may be in a car seat the rest of her life!:)
Eleri-10.11 lbs and 23 inches long and her head was 37 3/4 cm. Weight in 50th percentile, height in 75th percentile, head in 25th percentile.
I haven't looked at what Mali weighed and measured at 2 months, but Mali's head was also always in the 25th percentile.
I'm thankful for my tall girls!
And then on to our hard news, the pediatrician found that Eleri has a heart murmur. It was hard to hear (especially since I'm on the edge emotionally anyway), but I also know that God wasn't surprised by this and loves little Eleri even more than we do! I also reminded myself of Jackson Hill and Zach Dallas who also had heart murmurs but they have healed/corrected. We don't know anything more about it right now, but will go for an ultrasound soon to take a closer look at it. The waiting is hard!
Mali is a little grumpy from shots, but can walk fine now. Eleri is having a little harder time and has been crying out in pain off and on. She's had trouble eating too, which also stresses me out a little. I can already tell the difference in the girls...Mali never seemed to be this bothered by her shots.

Soccer Practice
Practice #2 went much better for Mali and for Eric. Mali listened pretty well to the new coach, Coach Joshua (the Amarillo High soccer player that is going to coach the girls). He did great with them and it was fun watching them run drills and actually learn about soccer. Mali said that she had fun at practice. There were a few instances were Mali was busy whining about a hangnail that was bleeding and talking with another player on them. During one drill, she did tell Eric and Coach Josh "I can't do that", but once she tried she could do it. I didn't see a lot of the practice because I took the stroller (and Eleri) walking around the park. But, it was much better and much more fun for all parties. Their first game is April 18th and it should be interesting!
On another Mali note, last night was the preschool open house at Paramount Baptist. We talked with the Pre-k 5's teacher about what to do next year with Mali; either 4's or 5's. After talking with the teacher, we decided that she will go to Pre-k 5's next year. It is in the afternoon from 12-3, so that should be an interesting change in pace for us.
