Maisers
Some Random Thoughts.
Today Maisie proved her womanhood. She rolled over. Twice. Actually, we got it on video twice, but she did it three or four times. This is how I know it was on purpose. She is such a little stink stink. We met up with some old friends (well, old for Paris) today and Maisie got a good cuddle in. I miss these friends. Their work called them to Africa, so they are far from us now! They were my fellow West Coasters (as in, California). Seriously, I love you East Coast, Southern friends, but there is definitely a difference!!! Maisie will not be respectful and refer to people as "Mr. or Mrs." Sorry, I am just warning you all now! Hee hee hee. She will also probably say, "frick" at the young age of two. It could possibly be her first word. We will see. My nephew used to say,…

Today Maisie made me cry. She has the power to do that sometimes. After she was nice and full from eating, I just sort of cradled her in my arms (which she isn’t letting me do much anymore now that she is a big girl) while I looked around on the internet. I thought maybe she had fallen asleep because she was so still and so I looked down to find her staring at me. As soon as we met eyes, she smiled the biggest smile ever. It made me giggle as well as tear up. Sometimes I think she knows how much she is loved, but I doubt it as I never knew how much I was loved by my mom till Maisie was born. The weird thing is everyday I think I couldn’t love her anymore than I do that day, then the next day rolls around and…

I love Maisie more and more everyday. She is doing all sorts of fun new things. She LOVES to lay on her play mat and swat the toys above her. She squeals and carries on little conversations with them. It is hilarious! She also loves to eat her hands. She tries to stuff her whole fist in her mouth. Justin swears she rolled over and I sort of believe him because she did hit her head (from rolling over from her tummy to her back), but I sort of think Justin secretly helped her a bit. She also loves to stand. She is so alert and wants to be watching the world around her. When laying on her back she struggles to sit up. I think she is going to be a busy one and I will definitely have to work hard to keep up with her. Maisie had an…
Read MoreFingers
Ever since the first comment in high school that my fingers looked funny, I have despised them. I would keep my hand curled up so as not to display the "mushroom" or "alien" shape my fingers took on. I think Justin is the first person that I actually would freely show my fingers to (besides my mom and sister). How ridiculous is this? I was ashamed of something I couldn’t help! I wanted the pretty fingernails that all the other girls had. But God gave me these fingers. The whole finger thing is just one more thing that I had struggled to like about myself. It has been a few years since I have been content with the shape of my fingers. The other day I was inspecting every inch of my precious little Maisie and came across her fingers. Can you guess what I am going to say? Yep,…

I really need to write an actual post. Something about my life or something clever or just something!!! I am finding it hard to have the time to do much of anything these days, besides taking care of Crazers. That is just one of the many nicknames we have for Maisie. Nugget and Nuggy are the other two nicknames that are most used. So because I don’t have time to write, I will just show off how stinkin’ cute she is. She really is!!! We are having SO much fun with her and we can’t wait for you (family and friends) to meet her!!! I never wanted to give Maisie a pacifier (for lots of reasons), but as you can see, I have succumbed to the pressure…or maybe just the pleasantness her sleeping quicker in the evenings and not crying so much. The pacifier has saved us on many occasions…

Just wanted to post some new pictures of the little stink stink! She is so great! Her little baby acne is starting to clear up now that we switched laundry detergents. Poor little sensitive skin girl, just like her mom! As you can see though, she looks just like her daddy! This last picture is a fun one that Justin took right around the corner of where we live. We LOVE that stroller!!!! It is the best for city life.
