Just hanging out!

Maite is enjoying being papa's girl again. She is now up to 16 teeth and we are sooooo happy. She is eating good. We found that she loves shreded chicken. She gets that from mama. She is so much fun and is growing into a creative and dramatic little girl.

Summer's almost over!

Our summer is almost over and it is really hard to believe. Mom is back to school and Papa is busy juggling Maite and farm work. Maite is starting to say more words. She can also sign please, thank you and more. She can moo, meow, and bock bock. I can't believe how fast she is learning. We are back to sleeping through the night with an occasional 3:00 am wake up. We have all had our share of sickness and Andrew is still not feeling up to par. We are looking forward to relaxing this weekend and taking it easy.

New Adventures to come.

We are growing from a family of three to a family of four come late March. We are expecting on the 29th of March. Yes, this was planned because I am a planner. I will have three quarters out of the way at school and be gone for the last remaining quarter. Perfect time for when spring fever kicks in for the students. Everyone is excited. Missy and I are expecting around the same time and I am looking forward to sharing our experiences together.

I have been trying to get my classroom back together before crazy August days start for us. From traveling to visitors...not much time to work. Darn it! Maite has been doing really well when we go to school. She sits in my library most of the time and goes through the books. She loves Elmo now and dances whenever she hears his music. She is such a blessing.

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.
