kalia's masterpiecesshe did all of these on her own since maya was fussy and i was walking her around

don't take the picture now mommy, it's in between setsKalia has definitely been testing her boundaries this week. I think it has definitely put the fear in erik - the year when kalia is 15 and maya is 13. Or does it all happen earlier now?
Of course we've had a dance party in the living room this afternoon and kalia's been so sweet. In between dances she would run and give maya kisses and pick up her toys that fell on the ground (maya was in bouncy seat). Then I got called the best mommy ever because i washed her favorite dress and let her wear it - plus, hugs and kisses. I need to remember these times when she's not being so sweet.
Strange things are happening around the house: Yesterday Kalia didn't want to go to the bathroom in the potty because there was a pterodactyl in there. Today Rosetta (Tinkerbell's friend- a small action figure) had a "small accident" on the couch. Although later kalia told me that in fact both herself and Rosetta had a small accident on the couch.
Maya had her 6 month appointment on wednesday. I was prepared for the worst this time since last time she felt so horrible, I even had erik work a night shift so I would have back up during the day. But she did pretty well - I think giving her the tylenol before the appointment helped. She is 14 lbs. 14 oz. and 25 1/2 inches. She has gone down in percentile - 25% for weight. Maya is starting to wean. I started giving her a bottle of formula after her nightly feeding to make sure she was getting enough and it was love at first sight. Both my girls are the same, the first time they found out there was something faster and more...it was all over. I'm going to keep it going as long as I can, but she is already frustrated with me.
Maya is babble girl, at 4AM this morning, she was awake and talking loudly to herself in her crib. I thought about going in, but after about 10 minutes she went back to sleep. I put Maya down for her first nap this morning and she just wanted to play at first, then she started fussing, so I went in to soothe her and she just gets the giggles when she sees me. Then she put her head down and had the biggest smile, while sucking her thumb and went to sleep. It was really funny- she really is my happy girl.
Kalia starts pre-school on tuesday! I am so excited, nervous and a little sad. She's going to be in school now until she's an adult! My little buddy is going to school and for the first time in her whole life, I'm not going to know exactly what she has experienced all day long.

I LOVE the picture of the three of you dressed up! So cute.
Ryenne has started to play make believe and blames things on toys too. It's pretty funny. And also amazing at how smart they are to already be blaming someone else!
I think when Ry started pre-school I had a harder time than her cause I couldn't see what she was doing. But it's definitely so good for her and I've noticed such a social change in her... and the vocabulary... WOW.
Maya is a tiny peanut like Kai! He is 10 months and is 17lbs and in the 5th percentile. But he's healthy and happy :)
We'll be on Maui in a few days!! Lets get together to play!!
