MIA


Sorry I have been MIA for a while. I am still trying to get use to having a toddler around. We finally have a good schedule down (although right now she has been playing in her crib for the last 90 minutes while she should be napping). A lot has happened in the last few weeks. The biggest one... Maizie celebrated her 2nd birthday! She had not 1 but 2 birthday parties! My living room has now turned in to everything I said it would never be. A sea of plastic toys!

Tomorrow will be 8 weeks since coming home with Maizie. I cant believe how much she has changed in the short time we have had her. She is now walking everywhere, in to everything and babbling up a storm. She still isn't really talking but she is very vocal. She has such a good personality which comes out more and more everyday. She is generally happy and laughs all the time. She still loves Cali (our cat) and Kodi (our dog) although I don't think they share that love. Food is still an issue but it is starting to get a little better. We started swim lessons a few weeks ago which she loves. We are going to Florida in a few months and I cant wait to see her in the ocean. She is going to love it.
My little Monkey.

Birthday Party at Grandma and Grampa's in NY.

She loves balloons.

She was trying to reach her gifts but didn't want to get out of her new chair.

Riding down the driveway at my parents in her Kai-lan car. Maizie though it was great fun.

Trying to play with Kodi.

Last week it was so warm out (71) Maizie wanted to play with her water table. Splashing and yelling at the same time.

Yesterday she had her 2nd 2nd birthday party at her Grammy's house...but I forgot my camera. oops.

Yay! I'm so glad to hear from you guys again! Maizie is even more adorable now! I absolutely love the photo of her riding her car down the hill. So cute.
Isn't it funny what we swore we wouldn't do before becoming parents, and now we do those things with wild abandon?! I know aaaaall about the sea of plastic toys. Sigh.

MELT. MY. HEART.

Sigh... the plastic toys... sad part for us is that Spencer doesn't even like most of them. :-(

Happy to hear things are going well. Looks like a fun party! We have the sea of plastic too...and Aiden hardly plays with them unless I try to put them away. Love Maizie's monkey costume!
