Funny Girl

Maizie's personality has really started show. For the most part she is a happy girl. She laughs all the time... mostly at herself. She likes us to pick her up and carry her around the kitchen so she can open all the kitchen cabinets. She still loves her kitty and "meow's" at her whenever she sees her. But it doesn't really sound like meow. It's more like aaaaaaattsssssss. It's really cute. And I think Cali is warming up to Maizie. Tonight was the first night Cali has slept in Maizie's crib.

Maizie is a climber. She is our little monkey. A few weeks ago she figured out how to stand on the ottoman. Now she not only stands on it but likes to dive off it. Most of the time we are right there. She has only fallen a few times but ever time she falls she thinks its funny.




Maizie's eating has gotten a lot better. She still likes her yogurt but now eats solid foods too. Mealtime is still sometimes a struggle. But it's going much better. If you look closely you can see her chicken nuggets are all stacked on top of each other. She always puts her food in little piles.


And when she is eating something she is still unsure of she closes her eyes until she is sure she likes it. Sometimes she even puts her hands over her eyes.
She still loves her Kai Lan car and likes it when we push her in the kitchen.


She thinks it hysterical when she crashes into something...especially the bar because normally it's off limits.

OK I just realized in all of these pictures Maizie has on her PJ's. Most days we do dress her. But there are just some days that we don't get out of our jammies. Sunday was one of those days. And today was one of those days too. Tomorrow we actually have to get dressed though.

1 year ago...

1 year ago we saw this face for the first time.



And today....









And why is Maizie so happy??? She is bouncing on Daddy's face!



You would think since it was our first Thanksgiving as a family we would have taken lots and lots of family pictures....well you would be wrong. After we put Maizie to bed I realized we didn't take our family pictures! oops. These are a few from Thankgiving.

Ever year Tracy and I get our tree Thanksgiving weekend. The first tree farm we went to had the most perfect trees I have ever seen. The only problem they were $120!!!! Some were even $160!!! Since we were not going to pay that much off we went. But not before stopping at their barn to see Santa and buy some wreaths (which here very resonably priced)
Then we were off to the second tree farm. It was Maizie's usual nap time so she looks a little sleepy in these pictures. We didn't buy a tree here either. We couldn't agree on one. So on to the third place. By then I was no longer toting my camera.



Maizie decided she had enough dinner tonight so instead of throwing it on the floor like usual she feed Kodi.

This is our first attempt at Christmas card pictures. The first 2 are probabily the best out of the 50 or so I took (hard to get good pictures with a hungry 2 year old).
Tracy was trying to get Maizie to blow a kiss by making the kissing noise.

Look at the cheesy smily on Tracy.

Maizie had enough.

Bottles cure everything.
