Maya's been sitting up really well for almost 3 weeks!
Kalia has been drawing people lately
Home sick - we made a car out of a costco size diaper box, pink of course.
Maya had no idea what it was - she just wanted to bang on the dashboard!KALIA'S PHOTOS:
maya crawling
her aim is getting pretty good!
taking a picture of herself! we really laughed hard when we saw a series of these.Sorry, I've been so bad at posting, but we were all sick (well, not erik, but us girls) and also pretty busy (I've been working during all my spare minutes).
OK, lots of news! First of Kalia- she is pretty much fully potty trained (well, as much as a 3 year old can be). Kalia had been waking up dry almost every morning, so we let her sleep in her panties and we've only had a couple of accidents. She just went about 16 days solid, pretty good since I had it in my mind that she would be wearing diapers at night for a while. Also, she was asking for a diaper sometimes to go #2 and finally after she was done with diapers at night and told her we didn't have anymore and now she's fine with that.
Maya news - She's sitting up very well by herself, she has also been crawling. A week ago, she would crawl maybe 4 steps and then go back on her tummy and do the drag, army style crawl. As of 2 days ago, her crawling has gotten so much better. She is also pulling up on things - she loves to pull up on us, small boxes, her bouncy seat. Today she pulled up onto the coffee table- twice! Well, she started by pulling up on the Baby Einstein DVD box that Kalia used to use as a chair, when she was up on her feet, she walked her feet toward the box, put one hand on the top of the coffee table, stood upright and put the other hand up! She has also been sleeping through the night!!!!! It started two days before she got sick, only one night when she was sick, was she up in the middle of the night.
A week ago Saturday Kalia had a fever and still now, she has a cough - it's been 10 days. I got sick next and still don't feel 100% and Maya sick the next day and she still has a runny nose, she's at day 7. Lingering cold!!! Poor Maya - her 1st cold and she really didn't like it. She does not like it when you wipe her face after eating, she cries every time. So just imagine how she has been with wiping her nose and then I tried to suction her nose one day because I thought she couldn't breathe through it and was really upset, well that just made her more upset and she screamed for 15 minutes. I tried everything to soothe her and finally she stopped crying when I sat her on the edge of crib and turned on her mobile. I sort of miss the pacifier - oh, I tried to use it, but she doesn't want it. With a thumb, you can't just stick it in her mouth like a pacifier - believe me I tried it and she doesn't like it when you try to put it in there. Plus, she usually just sucks on it to go to sleep. I guess I wouldn't like it if someone tried to shove my thumb in my mouth when I was crying.
My main sick day, kalia was in school so that made it a little easier. But the day maya was really sick, kalia was home and feeling better and bored. She kept saying, "mommy can we go to the park" and it was still pretty early in the morning. So we took a costco size diaper box and turned it into a pink car for the girls. I had been thinking about doing it and after my cold medicine kicked in, felt slightly more motivated. Plus, I thought kalia was going to go crazy in the house again, first she was sick and then we were sick, so many days of no fun! We made license plates and I put them on the front and back. I guess kalia didn't really understand, although I showed her the one on our car, because she wanted to make 2 more for both the sides and glued them on.
