We went to the park today and had the time of our lives. Malin LOVES the park. By the end of the trip she was going down the slide all by herself. You cant really see her face in this Video but she LOVED, this slide.
Here she is on her other favorite cause she can do it all by herself!

1 Crazy 1 Year old
(Catch Up)
Malin turned 1 on July 8, 2011. CRAZY! I have a one year old, it is so weird to think of, because it doesn't seem like me and Josh have been married for that long, and not long enough to have a 1 year old, but here she is!
We didn't really do much for her birthday. Since We were living at Josh's parents house we didn't feel like we could throw a big party, since we didn't really have anywhere to throw one. We had a small get together which each side of our families at our parents house. It was super fun, we had cake, and had a good time. From us she got a Tinkerbell foam couch, that she sits on almost everyday now haha.
Malin is so crazy and we love her. It is weird to think what life use to be like. Probably pretty boring, Malin does a good job of keeping me entertained all day long. We love her and what shes added to this family.
Baby book stuff
Malin Started walking good at 11 months.
Words - Ma ma, Da da, puppy, kitty, pretty (which means outside and also happened to be her first word)na na (banana), ba bo ( bottle), hi, bye, baby.
Weighs 18 lbs 6 oz, and is 28 inches 5-10%.
Loves sleep, she has 2, 2 hour naps, and sleeps all night.
Loves ALL food. All fruit especially berries, Oatmeal, cheese, yogurt, raisins, tomato saucy stuff, and of coarse milk.
Her best friends are Balian, Penny, and Kaia.
Loves playing patty cake, peek-a-boo, phones, taking things out of boxes, and balls. But is afraid of anything blown up, like balloons.
LOVES all animals, and will run up to them and give them hugs and kisses.
Gives hugs and kisses, waves hello and good bye.
Loves watching movies. Favorites are Despicable me and Rio.
Loves the water, loves to get dunked under the water.
only has 4 teeth, top 2 and bottom 2.
Likes to dance to music.
Heres a picture of when she was born, sorry its so bad, all our pictures are still on our old computer so this is from Josh's Phone. And also a picture of her on her Birthday!!
Here are just a bunch of pictures from her birthday. I forgot to get a picture of the cake before we ate it!!!

Night Night
One thing about Malin that I LOVE! Is that she loves to go to bed. She takes 2 naps a day still, each nap being an hour and half to two hours. And goes to bed at 7, waking up around 7 or 7:30. Its great!! One time she was running to her crib and I said "hey, you have to go give daddy a kiss." She stops, hangs her head, starts crying, then walks over to Josh to give him a kiss. As soon as she's given him a kiss she ran for her crib!! haha. When ever she's playing with toys, and I ask her if she wants to go night night, she immediately drops what ever is in her hand and books it to her room.
Only thing bad about this, is when she wants to go to bed, she wants to go to bed, and there better be somewhere she can lie down. I've been in situations where I've been out, and just haven't been able to get her down on time. Its so sad, she'll just cry and keep saying nigh nigh.
Hopefully all my kids love to sleep this much!!!
Heres a cute video of Malin running to her room to go to bed.

Catch Up
As most of you have noticed, I kinda took the Summer off from blogging. Every summer I get SO excited. A whole summer of relaxations, sitting in the sun, and doing what ever you feel like. NOT! Summer is no time for relaxation. I think there was maybe 3 Saturdays we didn't have to get up early, go somewhere for the day, or just have way to much to do. So with that being said, blogging was not at the top of my to do list, napping was though haha. So hopefully over the next month I can catch you up on 6 months of our life.
At the end of April, we decided we needed to move. We loved our little basement suit. But the fact was we took it out of desperation. We found out 3 weeks before Josh started class that he was accepted, and had 4 days to find a place. The basement suit was the last place we looked at. Yes it was the right size, loved the kitchen, (it had a dishwasher!!!!!!!) and was a place that didn't make me want to run from, and felt I could actually let Malin play on the floor with out fear of her getting some disease. BUT it was very far from NAIT, and above our budget. These we sacrificed because we needed a place ASAP and didn't have much choice. But since we weren't going to be receiving mat leave anymore, we just couldn't afford it, and living closer would be a plus for Josh, not having to take an hour plus bus ride. SO, we decided to move in to Josh's parents house for the summer to save money.
We actually moved into the cabin in the backyard. It was extremely tiny. We fit our bed some couches and a TV in there some how. There were 2 little hallways to get to where we needed to be. There was a loft upstairs where Malin and our clothes were. We had a tiny fridge and a microwave. And I LOVED it. I love Josh's family, and get along good with them. But going from living on your own, to with another family is not the easiest thing. So it was really nice, to have our own little space we could escape too. We were in the house most of the time, but I tried to keep Malin on a normal schedule, so she took her naps, and slept out in the cabin. We also slept in the cabin if that wasn't all ready implied.
It was SOO much fun being there for the summer, and spending time with family. We cant wait till we are back there in May.
Here's some pictures of Malin at our old basement suit, its neat to see how different she was when we were in Edmonton till now.
Malins FIRST pony's!! She's such a goof ball.
After Math of Ponys haha.

My Amazing Husband
Poor Josh, I feel so bad for him. He has had a cough/cold/stomach flu/fever since Sunday. I was down in SOAB for Sunday-Tuesday, so he had to take care of himself. The worst part is his schooling is so demanding he hasn't had the chance to stay home and get better. Everyday he either has a project he has to complete or he'll lose marks, or a test he has to be there for.
He coughs and tosses and turns all night. Drags himself out of bed at 6:20. Comes home at 5, and flops right in to bed. He's so sick, but refuses to go see a doctor. I have no idea how he manages to go to school everyday as sick as he is. He even went home teaching the other day. He is absolutely the most amazing husband. I love the fact that he takes school so seriously, and is so amazing at what hes doing. Hope he gets better soon.
Here's some cute pictures of Malin attacking a strawberry.

Achievements
Malin is official no longer a baby! She is a little girl now, or at least she thinks so. About a month ago I went in to get her up from her nap, and found this.
Sometimes its annoying, I'll be trying to put her down, and she just keeps popping back up. Other times its cute. I'll go in to get her up, and shes just standing there smiling at me. Shes kinda learned that she doesn't have to cry for everything now. So I'll have stuck her down for a nap, and then I'll hear this little high pitch squeal, then another squeal 10 seconds later. This goes on till I go in her room, and there she is standing up smiling at me. I'll put her down, and if she just does it again I'll get her up. Most times she'll go to sleep, shes such a little crazy.
Malin is crawling ALL OVER, and has been for the last 3 weeks! Its really funny though, she hasn't figured out how to go from one room to the next.
Here she is wanting so bad to play with the broom and mop.
Hmmm, how do I crawl across this?
All right! Here I come.
And...Backing up!
It literally use to take her 20 min of going back and forth before She'd actually get across. She is doing a lot better now, and only takes 5 min haha.
This is her new approach. Hands and feet.
Not only has she learned to stand up in her crib, but everywhere else. The other day she was holding on to the couch with one hand, then all of a sudden she was standing by herself! Only for about 5 seconds, but crazy hey. If we help her balance she can stand for up to 20 seconds before she sits down.
Shes falling down in this picture, but she can really stand for a while by herself, we just couldn't capture it on camera.
One of her favorite things to do is to turn the playstation and T.V. off. What a little brat. Look how short her little legs are!!
I'm happy to announce Malin FINALLY has a tooth!! Its been along time coming. Malin is a HORRIBLE teether. She has been teething 4 times before that dang tooth decided to finally come out. This last time was particularly bad. She was super grouchy for a month! She got an ear infection and had a super high fever for 2 days. It was so sad, she just snuggled all day long. Then finally A TOOTH! Shes been as happy as ever, crawling all over the place and playing by herself all day long. Really hope every tooth isn't like that.
Of coarse she is still eating like a crazy lady! Since she had her chest and ear infection she has decided she doesn't like to nurse. For the last month its been a battle to get her to nurse. I can kinda force her to nurse in the morning, but that's about it. I decided last night she is close enough to 9 months, and am going to start her on milk. I gave her 3 ounces of homo milk, she loved it!!! I gave her another 3 ounces this morning. I know a lot of you probably think I'm a horrible Mom, and that I'm going to cause all sorts of problems for Malin. Lets look at the facts though. She wont nurse, so wont take formula, and she is in between the 5th and 10th percentile, and she was born at the 75%. Pretty sure she is better off on cows milk, then no milk at all. My Mom put me on cows milk at 5 months and I'm still alive.
She is shaking her head like she is saying no. I even swear she has said the word no twice.
She is getting so big. She really seems more like a little girl then a baby now. We bought her a toy that she can push around and walk with. We bought it a week ago and she has now figured out how to stand up without it rolling away and her falling on her face. She'll push it really slow and walk with it. Pretty sure within the next couple weeks she'll be running around the house with it. I just love this little girl!!! Whats not to love!
