Around The Home
As much as I love summer, I have to say I LOVE fall! There is something about watching Mazy kick and play and in leaves, treat cold temps as if it’s 90 out, and just soak in the beautiful weather, that makes me love it all the more too.
Every week, we just fall in love with our little girl all the more. And I have to say once again, “THIS” is our favorite stage so far! I know I have said that at almost every stage, but boy oh boy is the 18 month stage fun! Mazy knows that she can communicate with us (she is pretty good talker), she has all her teeth in, except her 2 year molars (thank goodness those canines FINALLY popped through), and her allergies have subsided. Small little things I know, but little things that you could tell, bothered her. She is just SO HAPPY! I know people say that difficult baby means easy toddler and I have to say, so far that is true. She listens extremely well for a toddler! Ah, love that girl!
We are taking advantage of the weather as much as we can before the snow comes! Mazy loves bike rides and walks. Though walks often turn into her wanting to walk too, but after the first few times of her trying to climb out, I decided it’s better for me to model to her that yes, walking is important, so out she comes and we walk. Thankfully her walking pace is picking up too :).
She’s a big girl now! She likes to drink out of a “big” cup and I must say, thanks to her drinking the water out of her water table with a toy cup she had, she is pretty good at it!
We have been told by a couple of people that Mazy might be ready to potty train, so we at least bought the chair and let her practice sitting in it (with clothes on). I am not quite sure I am ready to train her yet, but she is also only 18 months. If anyone has trained an 18 month old, let me know what and how you did it!
Every year, it seems I need to get a new pair of tennys. I used to think Saucony was a brand I could never afford, but thanks to the internet, it is the same price as any other shoe! Last week my shoes gave me a blister, so I knew I needed new ones. Thanks to Rogan’s Shoes, I got them in like 3 days!
Getting the mail is a highlight of Mazy’s day – whether walking or “driving” to go get it
Can’t even put into words how much I love this little girl!
It got a bit chilly this week, so out came the winter coat, hat, and mittens. Mazy did not quite understand why she needed to look like a marshmallow, but needless to say, she definitely still had a good time. Swinging – another one of her favorite activities in a day!
Never too cold to play in the sandbox either!
Mazy loves her smoothies – peach and strawberry smoothie was definitely a hit as you can see!
Fall colors are about at their peak her in our county! What a glorious display God has given us once again!
