OK, for some reason I have no control over the photos and I really don't have time to figure it out. First photo is a shot of Erik and the girls at the beach. We've been having some nice beach days and we both surfed s-turns on monday - it was really fun. It was really low tide, so we had a nice beach for the girls (well, kalia since maya was under the umbrella).
Oh the photos of Maya - we put her in the same outfit we had Kalia in at 3 months and did a photo shoot. I will look for those photos and put a comparison up, just didn't have time to get the archived disk and look. The photo of Maya on the changing table has a good view of her hair.
A couple of things...while Kalia is "waiting patiently".
The other night Erik was working and I was trying to read bedtime stories to kalia while rocking maya to sleep. I guess I was reading a little too softly because kalia said, "mommy, can you use your outside voice?"
Yesterday we went to the library, Kalia has been pretending to go to the library this past week, so I finally took her. Maya didn't get the memo on how it's supposed to be quiet in the library. Or maybe I didn't get the memo about not taking your baby to the library during nap time when the overhead lighting is too much fun to look at that she doesn't want to go to sleep. At first she didn't understand that we could take books with us and while we were checking out the books, she said to me, "mommy, i am waiting patiently." The library woman was very impressed with her.
Speaking of being impressed. Kalia has been incredible lately, coloring so expertly with markers, staying the lines, it has been very impressive. I guess we've been saying that a lot lately because after she colors something in she says to us, "mommy are you so impressed?" She is also getting really good at puzzles, real puzzles. She's been a machine lately, working and working on puzzles. Are you so impressed?
Tutu and Grandpa will be arriving tonight but after the girls are asleep. So I told Kalia that they would be here when she woke up tomorrow. So she told me at 11AM today "mommy, it's getting dark. I'm feeling a little sleepy, it's almost time to go to sleep". Pretty cute.
We stayed home today for the first time in I don't know how long, to try to get Maya some sleep and so far no over tired melt downs before naps. Poor thing, at least I'm trying to be on top of it, even if it means more tv time for kalia. It's hard to put her down for a nap when someone is screaming at the parrot (who repeats everything you say) that daddy got her for christmas. And better than leaving Kalia to color with markers while I try to put Maya down - to come back to red marker drawings all over the coffee table (it is glass) and some drawings on her white pants and hands. What else is there to do when Mommy is in the other room?
