Just a little of this and that....

I wish I could get on here more and write about stuff...but honestly, I forget, or when I do remember I am too busy with Maisie. So, the last time I wrote was Mother's day...what has been going on. Well, Maisie has been a little grumpier than usual at times, not all the time, just certain points in the day. I can't quite tell if it is boredom, teething....or just plain old grumpiness. For all I know it could be all of the above, anyways, that's ok because most of the time she is her pleasant and sweet self. She is just growing and growing, and doing more things. We bought her one of those small buckets with shapes that go inside. She obviously is too small to know what shapes go where, but she takes the lid off and likes to put the shapes in and take them out. She is also VERY fond of me reading her books! It used to be she just wanted to hold and play with the books but now I will sit and read and point at stuff on the pages and she just LOVES it! She watches and points at stuff too, it is so cute. She is also able to stand up without pulling up on something...unassisted standing! I just can't believe it.

We bought some outdoor toys for her to play with and she had fun with them. We got her a big pink bouncy ball and it is now a favorite...although she now gets frustrated if she can't pick it up...or if she can't pick it up along with two other toys....stubborn one.



Now lets talk food! Yes, she is still a great eater, she is just eating MORE. I can't believe how well and how much she eats. I always make her veggies and stuff while I am preparing dinner....just to make sure she eats her veggies cause I know she is going to want whatever I have too. And sure enough, I get a plate and she wants all my stuff, including the veggies I have. But what are some things she has tried lately you ask? Well, today we had homemade catfish and she LOVED it...practically stealing it off my plate. She is able to eat anything at taco bell (except the hard shells), she ate at least a half of a sandwich tonight, along with her 1/4 cup of peas, bites of spaghetti, chicken and dumplings, pasta salad....then a bottle of milk after that! I don't know where it all goes...I wish I was like that. If she gives me trouble during a meal, it is usually lunch...mainly because she is either tired, or too ready to play than sit and eat. I find that as long as I am busy doing something and not watching her she does pretty good. It actually works out nicely because I take that opportunity to get the kitchen somewhat in shape.



Well, it has been a busy weekend for Maisie, we had the Spring Fest on Saturday and church on Sunday. Hopefully this won't be too crazy of a week for her and hopefully she will be in a good mood. I have a lot of things I would like to get done around the house...because like always, it is a wreck...but I won't get my hopes up. Bryan has the week off so that will be nice, Maisie likes having both of us home...of course.
