Stand by me, when you're a Mini!

So we have big news, here on the Monkey front! I thought I may build some suspense by working my way to it through this blog. I also decided the best pick for an opening picture would be of a sad Monk.
Don't worry, I took the picture with the purpose of bribing her back into a good mood by looking at her own picture!



That same day I took the girls out for breakfast, and this is my big girl Mini, getting ready to put some cream into her coffee.



That evening we saw one of the most stunning sights in the world, a full double rainbow. I know it doesn't have much to do with the beebies- but it sure is gorgeous!



More proof of the Mini getting to be a big girl. This is a compare and contrast collage, Monk 1 year ago and Mini just two weeks ago. How the time does fly!




I swear I try to get these girls to eat right, to start them on a healthy lifestyle... I have also read that chocolate is good for you. So there!




Yep, the obligatory Monk glamor shot. At least she doesn't know she is a green-eyed knock out yet. Well, that's not entirely true...




Hey, Mini is certainly well on her way to supermodel status too. What am I going to do when my daughters are rich and famous models and taking care of me? I'll tell ya, I'm going to love every minute of it.




Practicing for all her impending overseas modeling trips, Monk has "mastered" the chopsticks. (Yeah right!)




Mini, on the other hand, is trying to put her thumb on the pulse of high fashion hair. You can see the pigtails worked nicely. I sent a picture of this to Sarah though, and she said, "Why is Jay wearing pigtails?"






At last, the HUGE news!
(Drumroll, please)
Mini pulled herself to standing for the first time EVER today!!!
Go Mini, Go Mini, it's yer berfday, Go Mini!!!!
Love you guys!

Theme songs from the Land of Monkies!

A Monkey says "What?"




Ice, Ice Monkey, bum ba da dum dum duh dum...



Mini's SAAAAIIIILLLINGGGG away... Set and open course on the Ducky pond...



I'm TOO awesome for this playground, so awesome it hurts.





I believe I can slide.. I believe I can touch the sky!





Rock me Momma-daeus! Momma-daeus. Momma-daeus. MOMMA-DAEUS!



Strike a pose!





I've got you Monk, bum bum, dum dum, I've got you Monk!




While Frank Sinatra sings Stormy Weather.. Monks and Minis get along together...



(This would probably be some Bollywood song?)







Alas, I digress :) Some updates from the land of cutie primates!
Mini turned 1!! What a big girl! I dont have any pictures to offer, I got really really sick and couldn't even stay up for her birthday party. Way to go, Momma! At least it wasn't a birthday she would remember? I did make her favorite dish though, Enchiladas. Ironically, she also had to go to bed before the dinner or the party too! She was grumping around as always...
Mini has FINALLY gotten her first teeth, on her first birthday! She got both of her upper canines. Hmm.. I think becoming a vampire baby adds to the mystique of her grumpiness. Now if we could just progress to walking!
Monk has been sleeping in a big girl bed without a hitch for a week now, both bed time and naps! And I thought this conversion would be hard. Whew. At least something on this parenting road has gone easily. ;)
Love always,
Momma Llama Ding Dong, Doggie Daddy, and the Baby Monkey Farm
