Wii for Babies - February 15

We had a relaxing day for Presidents Day. It is always nice to be home as a family, get stuff done, and play a little. Chuck came for a visit. While Dan and Chuck played Wii, Maya made up her own Wii game going in between their legs. This didn't truly capture her weaving in and out non-stop, but you'll get the idea.

Valentine's Day

Maya got all dressed up for Valentine's day to see her grandparents. We hadn't made any plans, but I woke up that morning to the best original poem written by my mother offering to watch Maya for us. Maya started the day trying to put on her cowboy boots and taking them off. She loves running around in them. See here!

16 Months is so much fun!

The rate of learning at this point is so amazing to bear witness to! We have fun stacking blocks, playing with Bitty baby, and reading books. She seems to add to her word repertoire daily now. She definitley has her Daddy's coordination. I was shocked when she started stacking blocks and got up to five without tumbling. Today I threw a diaper box downstairs to recycle. Well of course kids love boxes and Maya has been entertained with this one and when I made it into a bed for her baby, her imagination took off. I ran down to the kitchen to do a couple of things and I hear "tuk, tuk, tuk." She was stuck sitting in the box with her baby. She finally figured out how to get out, but I think she liked it a lot.


And it looks like we might have a house cleaning assistant in the making.
