Stats: ~ Height: 30 inches (79th%) ~ Weight: 19 lbs. 13 oz. (50th%). She only gained a pound over the last 3 months. She surely didn’t get that type of metabolism from me! Food: ~ Eats about every 4 hours. Breakfast is usually toast with peanut butter, lunch is baby food and ham or…
Living in Michigan, I took it for granted often while growing up here, until we moved away. There is something about the fall colors in Michigan that is hard to compare! When we moved back, even though I missed a good chunk of fall last year, I so appreciated the vast number of colors that…
God has been doing something very unique in our life over the past month and a half. God has renewed our hope with regards to our future and kids. God has provided in ways we could have NEVER imagined. We were trying to figure out how to express what has been going on in our life recently and the best way…
One of our goals this summer was to take Mazy to a zoo. There is a small one about 40 minutes south of us that has about 8 animals which we have taken her to. She absolutely loved it so we thought she would appreciate a large zoo with a larger variety of animals. We…
I know I haven’t blogged as much as I used to, but sometimes I am not sure what to say. Odd, coming from a girl who can talk your ear off! But since finding out that we are going to have a baby, I have a hard time knowing how to say what I want…
I always love a good challenge. I feel like I often am challenging myself to change something or try something new. Though I feel like these challenges to myself only consist of things that effect me on this earth. Things that are a bit more tangible. Then there are the challenges of the heart. And…

Yes, my sweet girl tends to feel the same way when her daddy is out of town too. She gets very fussy and is constantly looking out for him to come home. I got her a big photo of the two of them together and put it on the floor up against the wall so she could look at it whenever she wanted. The photo seemed to help. We also recorded video of daddy reading books etc, that made her very confused and even more sad. She couldn't understand why daddy was in front of her talking etc but not really here. And he was so small and on the screen, it weirded her out. But just the photo was good. And also doing fun stuff. But they also rough house a bit and she misses that too. Mama is too gentle with her girl. So I try to play similar games as daddy does.
Oh and she also refuses to wear her bib too. I gave up on the bibs since she just pulls them all off. But if we have no time to change a dirty outfit and I need her clean, I use a disposable bib since they have tabs that really stick together — even those she pulls them apart. One thing she likes, which Mazy may find enjoyable, is learning new skills. Like today we got Popsicle sticks and a piece of carboard, I punched holes with the scissors in the back and stuck the sticks in the holes. She pulled them all out and I got her hand and was teaching her how to put them in and out of the holes. Simple but fun… I look up on the internet little things to try. I look up toddler sensory activities, or sensory learning. We got the macaroni and poured into a big bowl and she reached in etc. I keep the paci in her mouth so she doesn't eat it. Play dough does not work, she keeps eating it.
