Still likes the swaddle.

Baby girl is still a swaddler, not even just a swaddler, but a double swaddler. She gets wrapped first in a hospital or flannel blanket, and then in a cozy blanket. But we have to make sure the cozy blanket is touching her face cause she likes to feel it as she falls asleep. How these babies have an opinion already beats me! ;-)

Hat and Mittens Time...

It's getting to be a little chilly here, okay alot chiully. Maizy, Korrie and I all went shopping a couple weekends ago and bought Maizy a new hat and mittens. She got the chance to wear then this weeke when the remperature took a plunge. I think they are just adorable, of course I think everything is adorable on her. She makes my heart smile.


Almost all of the pictures we have of her, her little feet are a blurr because she is constantly kicking them. Daddy taught her how to spur already!

Fall Family Pictures

We spent the weekend with Korrie and Joe in Bozeman for their birthdays, Joe's on the 3rd and Korrie's on the 4th. We had a super good time just relaxing, shopping, and visiting. Because the fall colors are so beautiful right now we decided to take some family photos. Maizy was a champ, a little tired from an overdue nap but she was a very good girl.

We had alot of fun taking these pictures. Of course Joe was a big goof and tried to swing "Spider" style with Korrie. Which didn't work out so well. But it was a good photo opp anyway. As you might be able to tell, this beautiful back drop was in a not so beautiful place. It was surrounded by dumpy trailer and scary people. We got our business done and got out of there as soon as we could.

Oh, and yes, I did make these layouts. I am having so much fun with my new PhotoShop program.

Doctors report and all Maizy's new "tricks"

We went to the doctor last Thursday for a check up. Maizy is not 13lbs 9oz and 24 inches tall. 50th percentile across the board. Doc says she looks very healthy and happy.

She has learned so many new tricks in the last couple of weeks. Hope I can remeber them all.

Maizy is now...

Rolling over
Blowing bubbles
Laughing
Taking her binki out of her mouth
Chewing on her toes
Concentrating on her toys
Gabbering constantly


She is growing and changing so fast, I can't hardly keep up. 4 months 10 days already, wow how the time flies!

Rice cereal & My New Bouncer...

A friend gave Maizy this bouncer, and she loves playing in it. It's funny though, she can't quite reach putting the Lion ande Elephant on the teeter totter in her mouth and it makes her so mad. She gets all red faced and screams.So its Rice Cereal time. We went about it the first time with no clothes, just in case. Good thing we did. She had it in her hair, under her double chin, armpits, and pretty much anywhere else she could get it in a matter of 3 minutes. She seemed to like it pretty well though, the bit of apple juice seemed to help.

Yep, she thought it was pretty funny to talk with her mouth full. Actually she is probably laughing that the face Daddy was making when she laughed and the cereal came flying out.
But it all turned out in the end. After Mommy scrubbed for a good 15 minutes, that is!

Maizy's First Vacation

On September 7th, after Maizy was in her first wedding at 3 months old, we hit the road in our motorhome headed for Lake Powell, UT. Baby was a trooper while we were traveling, probably becasue we didn't have her in her car seat unless it was nap time. She LOVED it!

We stayed the first night in the Lake Powell Resort and played in the swimming pool. Maizy did get much swimming time though becasue the pool was a little too cold and the hot tub was a little too hot. So she mostly just kicked her feet in the water, sporting a fancy new bikini.

The next day we boarded the house boat. Good thing we got the big one, Maizy thought it was important to bring ALL her toys, clothes and blankies. She took up the whole extra bed by herself. We spent 4 wonderfully warm, fun and relaxing days putting around the lake, diving off rocks, going down the slide into the water, fishing, eating, and just enjoying each others company. Daddy and Uncle Joe found Maizy her own little pool in a rock next to the lake where she played in warm water and of course Auntie Korrie used it for a photo opp.

Over all it was a super fun vaca, but we were glad to get back to solid ground when it was time to take the boat back.

Maizy's 3 Months Old!!

We took Maizy in to get her 3 month old pictures taken, and she LOVED the camera.
