I love my little bug...

I call her my sugar bug...don't ask, I don't know why or how I got the name. She has to be the best baby ever. And hilarious...just crazy. She always has something in her mouth she isn't supposed to have...I would tell you some, but it grosses me out. She is funny too because now when I look at her and say "what do you have in your mouth??" she smiles, giggles and take off only for me to chase her down. She does the same thing when she gets a hold of something she isn't supposed to have. She will look at me and then take off if I look like I am going to get it from her.

She has had her daddy home all week this past week and he has to go back to work tomorrow, it will probably be a rough day for her. She loves having her daddy home. I have been waking up when I hear her on the monitor and taking her into the bedroom to feed her because Bryan is of course still sleeping. When she is done eating she likes to play on the bed and wake her daddy up. It usually consists of climbing all over him and beating his head, etc...but today was so cute, she put her head down on him and gave him kisses and snuggled. My heart melted...my mind was saying "take it all, whatever you want you can have". Luckily she is too young to take advantage.

We have also been going outside quite a bit. Maisie is finally at the point that she likes exploring things while walking, I don't have to carry her everytime I get up to do something. One of her favorite things is checking on daddy in the garage. I open the door and she follows me out, then I help her with the one step and she takes off. It scares me because she still stumbles some and our driveway is very slanted and the idea of her scraping her legs and hands just hurts me. But she has a ball, she walks around the garage then out to the driveway and into the grass, just squealing and clapping usually, she is so cute and I of course look like an idiot with my arms out and bent over waiting for her to fall at any second.

I think Maisie almost has "mama" and "dada" down, she is almost doing it on command, it is very cute. She has also waved a lot recently, she learned to a long time ago, but didn't know what she was doing, but I think she is starting to understand....of course that may be because everytime she waves I say "hi Maisie, hi, hello". So this is said about 50 times a day...

Any recent food adventures?? Hmm...well, bryan tried her on cucumber today, she LOVED it. I was shocked, she ate like 10 bites! She loves hotdogs and SANDWICHES, yes, sandwiches. I think sandwiches are her favorite, I could probably make one, cut the crust off, and cut it into bitesize pieces and she would eat the whole thing. I know she has eaten at least half of one. Pasta is a fun one...especially long pieces, she gets a kick out of eating them.

Oh, and I almost forgot. Maisie has decided that she must learn to walk backwards...yes, backwards. I was sitting down and she kept falling on her butt and I thought at first that she is just being clumsy, then I watched closely and she was moving her feet behind her. Why does she feel the need to do this? well, I guess since she is walking now she feels she needs another challenge? I don't know, she is a nut!

Well, it is about bed time....yikes, after midnight!! Until next time...
