Random January Pictures of Maylee

It has been fun watching Maylee grow and learn.  Maylee figured out how to put her helmet on and likes to pretend to ride Cinder like a horse.  She can be very systematic with her toys.  Notice how she lined up the Little People on her bike - all her idea.  Our wine cabinet in our kitchen has been empty since she started crawling and reaching for bottles, but now she lines up her Little People and other toys in the cabinet.  Maylee loves the snow and likes to watch Dada shovel snow off of the deck.   Our neighbors gave Maylee a deer hooded towel for Christmas.  After bath time, she likes to be a deer or a duck with her towels. 



Potty Training - 16 months old

One Saturday in January at the age of 16 months, Maylee yelled "potty" and ran to the bathroom.  After I picked up my jaw off the floor, I followed her to the bathroom, sat her on the big potty, and nothing happened.  I put her diaper back on and within a couple minutes she did go potty.  After a week of her saying "potty" while she was going in her diaper, we decided to buy Maylee her own potty and start potty training.  These pictures were taken the night we bought the potty (hence the potty being in the living room and Maylee being allowed to teach her baby how to go potty).

New Years 2011

We celebrated New Year's at Ammie and Papa's annual party. 

Those special preemie twins and their family joined us too.  Great Grandma Doris is holding sleeping Tessa so Maylee thought she needed to also been in Grandma Doris's lap and rocked to sleep. 

Later, Charlie was up and ready to party into 2011!

Maylee and the twin's brother Ethan got to hold the clock to prove they stayed up until midnight.  Just like Christmas, Maylee was a party animal with not much for napping during the day.  Again, she had a great attitude and deserved to sleep in but another molar came that night!  Poor girl!
