What nap?

After only a half hour nap yesterday we had to go for a walk to get out of the house. The heat was terrible but we walked about two miles. We made it to the hay stacks to enjoy some of the shade.

Maite likes to imitate Andrew while he is checking the hay. We drive out to the hay and Andrew flips the windrow of hay to see if it has cured enough underneath. He usually sticks some in his mouth to chew on and then flips it back over. Maite walks over next to him and touches the hay, stick a stem in her mouth, and then pats the windrow. They learn so fast!

First Chiro Appt.

Yesterday, Maite had her first chiropractic appt. and she did so good. They scanned her and she was actually not too bad. He did some minor adjustments and she had no tears. Then it was my turn. Whoooo doggy! She did not like him touching me. She started crying so bad. When he was adjusting my neck he had her lay on my chest and she just layed there really nice until I was done. I hope it is easier on her next time.

One Molar!

We have had a couple of tough nights lately. Finally, Maite cut one of her molars. She was up for an hour last night and then fell asleep while in my arms. We have a trip to Reno tomorrow and I hope that it is not too hot. Aunt Missy is going with us to help out. Oh, and that is the latest picture of her 'stink eye' look.

Summer fun Continued!

Summer fun!

Maite and I are really enjoying ourselves here at home for the summer. Andrew is really busy and the girls just hang out all day. I am getting used to this stay at home mom stuff and I know it will be really hard to get back to work in the fall. Maite loves her little pool and just playing in the dirt.

We are still doing the potty training thing. Maite loves her chair and I find her going into the bathroom, shutting the door, and when I go to open it I find her on the potty. It is so comical. She is getting in her first molars but is handling it really well.

Andrew just finished her swing set and Maite is loving it. She loves to swing in her swing and also swing on our laps. Andrew and Sebastian are enjoying swinging as much as she does.

I am still in the process of finding care for her this winter. I hate to even think of leaving her with someone other than family.

Walking and bossin' around!

Andrew and I left Maite for the weekend to celebrate our fifth anniversary. She stayed with Grandpa and Grandma Betes. I had a hard time not crying the whole day leading up to leaving her. I couldn't help it when we had to say goodbye. We called about 20 times over the weekend and we so glad to be back with her. She is now officially walking. She is staring to trust herself a lot more. I am so proud of her. She talks all the time, even though we are not sure what she is saying. She is choosing to walk instead of crawl. She is now a month into being binky-free. She is also sleeping through the night (8:30 - 5:30) We are planning the birthday party and waiting to hear the news of Baby Perez being born.
