Pirate Maylee

At the end of our Spring Break we went down to Wendy's side of the family to celebrate Easter because Uncle Kevin and Aunt Shelly came over from Portland.  Aunt Shelly was working on putting Maylee's pajamas on, but first they decided to play "pirate" with the pajamas.

"Aye Matey!"

Waterpark Again!

We went to the waterpark again over Spring Break.  She is a month older than the last time we went (ear infections and busy schedules kept us away for awhile).  This time she REALLY enjoyed the yellow baby swings!  She can't quite reach the bottom yet with her feet, but she figured out how to turn in them if we put our legs underneath her.  It is common to find her fingers in her mouth...not sure when teeth are going to pop through.

Our Two Girls in Diapers!

Cinder usually goes into heat at the end of March.  For Cinder this means she has to wear a doggy diaper or be inside her crate.  Maylee continues to be in love with her dog.  Just seeing Cinder puts a huge smile on her face or causes her to squeal in excitement!  Maylee knows the jingle of Cinder's collar and will look for Cinder as she comes around the corner.  Cinder is so careful when she is around Maylee.

Maylee is thinking..."Don't worry Cinder! I'll will chew you out of your crate!"

I Know My Bottle!

Maylee started holding her bottle by herself a while ago but I finally got around to taking a picture of it.  She definitely knows what her bottle looks like and will not take her eyes off of it until she has it.  We just have to help her tip back.

Maylee's New Friend

Maylee has a new friend who is 5 weeks old - Hadley!  Hadley is the daughter of Drew, one of Kevin's best friends from high school.  Maylee was enamored by little Hadley.  It is hard to imagine that Maylee was that little...time really does go by fast!

Spring Break 2010

We got to visit many relatives on all sides of Maylee's family. On Grandpa Bruce's side we saw Aunt Jean and her kids (Emily and David).  On Grandma Julie's side many relatives joined us for dinner one night.  On Grandpa Dean's side we spent time with Great-Grandma Linda, Aunt Lorraine, and Uncle Mark.  On Grandma Shirley's side Maylee was entertained by Uncle Wes, Aunt Patty and their two cuties (Emma and Sarah).  We also saw Great-Grandpa Emmett and Great-Grandma Helen.  (Hope I got everyone)

I can sit up!

Maylee started sitting on her own at six months old.  Sometimes she will start to lean but will correct herself.  She also likes to move her upper body back and forth like she wants to scoot or dance.  We are proud of her! 

I love books!

Maylee likes books a lot!  She likes being read to and likes exploring books on her own.  She also likes to eat them!  So far her books called "Indestructibles" have held up. 

Grandpa Bruce & Maylee

Grandpa Bruce took the detour route back home so he could visit me! Yee-haw! Go Cinder, go!

Maylee the Jumping Bean

Maylee loves the jumper that is at her babysitter's house so we decided to get one for our house.  She just loves it and it helps us get more things done.
