I Like Rice Cereal!

I started eating rice cereal once a day when I was almost 6 months old.  I love it!  I like to try to feed myself by grabbing the spoon or bowl.

Floor Time for Cinder and Me

So Close

Maylee is so close to rolling over from her back to her tummy.  She already rolls over from her tummy to her back.  When going from her back to her tummy, she gets her legs over but hasn't figured out how to get her arm out of the way to complete the job.

Driving Back Home

I was a good traveler on the 8 hour drive back home from Portland.

How's My Poker Face?

Grandma Julie and Uncle Kevin taught me how to play cards! I love the images on the cards...diamonds are a girl's best friend, but hearts are good too because I'm a sweetheart!

 

Did I win?

Happy Valentines Day!

1st Plane Ride

Maylee and I flew to Portland to visit Uncle Kevin & Aunt Shelly.  The main purpose of the visit was to get measured for my bridesmaid dress - helping Shelly get one more thing checked off on the wedding-to-do-list.  Maylee did really well on the flight, but that will hopefully be the one and only time I have to fly by myself with a baby.  It is not fun trying to carry Maylee, diaper bag, pump bag, and car seat with only two arms - not to mention going through security with all of that!  I used my Peanut Shell bag wrap to help carry her.

Maylee also really loved the skylights in the Portland Airport.  So to top off carrying all that gear, Maylee liked to lean way back to stare at the skylights.  That did not make it any easier to carry everything, but she was happy.

 

This is where Uncle Kevin lives...

5 Months Old!

Maylee likes to play in her bouncy chair with lights, music, and jungle animals.

On her 5th month old birthday she figured out how to put her lips together and blow to make a new sound!

Maylee at the Waterpark

Maylee likes the waterpark we take her to.  She loves the sound of water!  Her favorite thing to do so far is to sit in the yellow bucket seats and let her legs move in the water.  She has gone down some of the slides too.

 

  

 

Her swimsuit is one that Kev bought her when she was four days old!  He bought a size 18 months with plans of her wearing it this summer.  It fits her now...we will see about this summer.  :-)

Maylee Loves her Cinder Dog!

Maylee really became aware of her dog in January - at four months old.  She has started reaching out for Cinder and watching Cinder move around.  She has even tried to put her mouth on Cinder like she wants to give Cinder a give sloppy kiss!

The other night, we put Maylee in her seat and put it on the floor because she loves to be close to Cinder.  We really got some good laughs at the two of them together.  Cinder really wants Maylee to play yet she knows to be gentle.  Maylee on the other hand is not so gentle to Cinder when she reaches out and grabs at her.

 Cinder occasionally likes Maylee...this is the first time she licked her hair and gave her a hairdo!
