Wordless Wednesday: Yummmm

Sprinkler

Maizie love water. She can play in her water table for hours on end, loves baths and loves to swim. But her new favorite thing...the sprinkler!

It was a little hard to get good pictures. Every time I would get close enough I would get wet. But you will have to trust me she loved it. She was actually squealing with delight.

Wordless Wednesday: Overtired

time

Time seems to fly around here. It seems like yesterday we were on vacation and here we are more then 3 weeks later. I cant believe it is officially summer. We have been pretty busy lately but I really haven't taken many pictures. I think today was the first time in about a week I took my camera out. We have been having some slight sleeping issues. Maizie is trying to faze out her naps. Personally I don't know why anyone would want to faze out naps. I love taking naps. She is having a hard time understanding that Mommy needs some time to herself. I just keep telling myself that Maizie doesn't want to take a nap because she likes spending time with me. HA! Don't get me wrong I love spending time with Mai but it's nice to be able to shower with out someone trying to crawl in with me.

Anyway here are some left over photo's from our vacation.

I think I have mentioned before how much Maizie loves shoes. Here she is playing in the closet with Grandpa's shoes.

Trying on Grampa's shoes.

I think they are a little too big! hehe

Practicing her gymnastics on the bed.

While we were in Florida Maizie started swimming! My little girl loves the water. She would stay in the pool for 2 - 2 1/2 hours! I think this summer we will be making lots of trips to my parents house so little miss can go swimming.

Florida

We just got back (and by just I mean almost a week ago) from Florida. Don't get me wrong I love being on vacation but there really is no place like home. Maizie did great on the flights! I don't think she cried once. She loved being at the airport watching all the planes. Maybe she will become a pilot just like Uncle Jamie.

Blowing kisses at the planes going by.

Mai was so tired she fell asleep with her "teddy's" in her hand. It was a long day for her.

One day we went to Sanibel Island and went to one of our favorite preserves. If you have never been to Sanibel...GO. It really is a beautiful little island. I could spend all day at Ding Darling Preserve. It's so nice and peaceful. Too bad it was nap time and Maizie wasn't digging Ding Darling.

We also went to the beach club for lunch. Maizie was so excited to go to the beach she didn't want to eat lunch. She just kept staring out the window.

After we made her eat lunch down to the beach we went.

Ummm I think she loved the beach. Maizie was a little hesitant to get in the water at first but once she figured out the waves were a good thing she had a blast!

Mai also had a lot of fun playing in the sand. She had sand everywhere!

Zoo!

This weekend was my birthday. To me age is just a number. Most days I don't feel my age (which is 32 for those who want to know). Some days I feel like I am 32 going on 22 and others it's 32 going on 72. This birthday was especially special because it was my first birthday with Maizie. It's funny how your view of the "perfect birthday" changes once you have kids. Last year I would have said the perfect birthday is sitting on the beach with a margarita in hand (which I think I did my last 2 birthdays). But this year was different. All I wanted to do was have a fun day with Maizie at the Zoo. And a fun day at the zoo we had!

We went to a zoo we have never been to before and didn't really know what to expect. It was actually a really nice zoo. They had a petting zoo with a bunch of goats. I didn't know how Maizie would react to all the goats but she loved and I mean LOVED them. She was walking patting then on the back. There was even a little baby goat but Maizie wanted nothing to do with the baby. She liked the big fat goats much better. It one point she had a goat by it's horns and was shaking it's head.

I think she was trying to crawl on this guys back.

There was also a deer park where the deer just roam free and you can pet them.

Of course we had to stop and watch the lemurs for a while.

We ended the day on the carousel. At first Maizie didn't know what to think but by the end I think she was having fun.

After we left the park we came home and all took a nap. Then Tracy and I went out to dinner at our favorite restaurant. It really was a great birthday.
