Mae gives Miles lots of new ideas....some good and some not so good. Mae enjoys doing things like writing on the walls and herself and opening boxes of pasta and anything else she can get her tiny hands on. Miles will proudly say things like "Look what me and Mae did together!" It is hard to be upset with Miles because I know he is not the mastermind behind these ideas. It is also hard to be upset when an old box of pasta will keep them entertained for 45 minutes.

Randon Picture Post
Mae and Miles like to play together....most of the time
My kids never seem to have pants on after nap
this post is Mae photo heavy because she will still allow me to take her picture..while Miles makes crazy faces or hides
can you feel the love!
Mae's Room
It has taken a long time to get Mae's room just the way I wanted it, but it is finally perfect! It is so much nicer than it looks in these pictures but the lighting was terrible and so are my photography skills
My mom made the pillows, crib skirt, and curtain
Aunt Jenny made these amazing embroidered wall hangings as well as the name flag. The alphabet is one of my very favorite things
I love Mae's room and she seems to feel the same way. Thanks for all the hard work other people did to make it beautiful.

First Day Of School
A collared shirt is a must for the first day of school. And seeing that every boy in Miles' class had one on made me feel better about my wardrobe choice
Mae getting in on some of the school action
Giving me the thumbs up as he was shoving food in his mouth
Today was Miles' first day of school. Yesterday I cried at least 10 times thinking about how grown up he was getting and how I was going to have to let go a little bit. Even though I am ready for him to have some time away from me to learn and grow, it is never easy to let go. Even if it is only from 9-12 3 days a week.
Anyway, Miles did great! I was really nervous that he was going to have a hard goodbye but as soon as he started playing in the sand area he told me "I won't cry. You can go if I can look for wet sand." So off Mae and I went....slowly.
Miles didn't tell me much about his day other than that he didn't pee at school and he didn't have to wash his hands before snack (I have a feeling that might not be true...let's hope). He told me that they read a story about school and played with blocks. He was full of energy when he got home and has been sleeping hard for almost 2 hours. It seems like a great first day!

14 months
All of a sudden it seems like Mae is much less of a baby and more of a kid
Here are 14 facts about Mae
1. She now sleeps through the night from about 7:30 to 6:30
2. Mae's favorite thing to eat/drink are smoothies
3. Mae hates eggs and cottage cheese. Hates.
4. Mae calls herself "Me" and Miles "My"
5. Mae can now say banana, fish, kiss, happy birthday, bubble, snack, milk, shoe, bear, frog, baseball, beach ball, no no no (she says this as she does things she is not allowed to do), up, walk and some other words that I can't think of.
6. Mae loves to put on shoes
7. She can take about 5 steps before falling..hard
8. Mae still loves to climb anything she can get to
9. Mae still nurses a ton during the day. She now climbs on my lap and yells "mil" as she shoves her hand down my shirt. Double sigh. I need to make some changes asap
10.When I nurse Mae before bed she claps if she likes the song I am singing and shakes her head no if she does not. She does this while she is nursing!
11. Mae loves to kiss everything. Dolls, cars, pictures in books, the list goes on and on
12. Mae loves to "play" with all of Miles' toys. She watches his every move and imitates what he is doing as soon as he walks away
13. Mae tries to pick up and eat the photos of food in her word books

Mae makes me laugh every day. She lights up the room when she crawls/walk-falls in it. She has so much love to give and we could not love her more.
