Eating
Sweet Mallory loves her some strawberries with sugar! She would eat that all day long if I let her! She also loves raspberries and blackberries and that is what she asks for when she wants a snack. We are still doing lactose free milk for her and I feel like that has made a HUGE difference in her complaining about her tummy. Her favorite meal choice is plain cooked noodles (with salt), a hard boiled egg and some fruit.

Sleeping
We regressed BIG time with sleep when everyone got sick :( Jeff slept in Miles bed in their room and Mallory slept in her bed because her cough was so bad and the humidifier works better in their room. However according to Jeff she would wake up several times and he would have to crawl into the twin bed with her. She also continues to be our precious angel who doesn't need much sleep! She wakes up around 6:00 and is in a good mood ALL day without a nap! We will even pull her into bed with us in the morning- but when this girls eyes open once- they are open for good!

Playtime
Mallory is really starting to enjoy her dance class! She talks about it all the time and is learning a lot from it. It is adorable to watch her class (on the TV screen) because she never takes her eyes off of her teacher while all the other girls are distracted and twirling in circles. Mallory's current favorite past time is watching her Ipad. This consists of YouTube videos called Vlogs. It is families (usually 4-5 kids) that tape their daily life. She loves it- I haven't figured out why but she does :) She continues to be so LOVING and CARING with her brother even when he is a turd to her.
