The blankies are the girls instant soothers. If they feel sad or hurt or just need comfort the blankies never fail! Maia has developed some kind of preference that she likes her blankets to be cool. If they get hot from body warmth she will request them to be "chilled"! We do this by sticking them in the freezer! She also will "cook" food in the freezer since she watches Grammie and I put oatmeal in there to cool after heating in microwave! So observant that girl! I love her qurks!
Now Wynter is putting her Blankie in the freezer! They must be sisters!!! It's the funniest thing to see and hear they're request to chill their blankies! They might get this from their daddy since he loves being cold!

While we were heading to church, I told Maia "Jesus bday is on Christmas Day.
Jesus was born to save us from our sin becasue he loves us so much!"
Maia said...aww that's so sweet
Be still my heart!

Maia has learned how to swing!!! She has been really practicing and the last 2 weeks or so she finally started pumping those legs! She even showed me how to start swinging by putting one foot on grow and letting go! I'm so proud of her!! The girls love to swing! They swing almost everyday. Even if we go to a park the first thing they run to is a swing. There is something about the freedom and semi flying feeling that is magical in childhood!

Today we saw a hot air balloon launching in the sky literally in our backyard! It was so close that it almost scared John because he opens the back door and BAM a hot air balloon was there! It took off right by the church where Maia goes to school. The girls were astonished! They were waving bye because we could even hear the people in the basket squeal with excitement! Definitely on my bucket list.

Shoe fetish
Shoe fetish
Wynter has developed (probably as soon as she started walking) this shoe fetish where she loves putting on shoes! Oh my, I'm in trouble! She prefers someone else's shoe such as her big sister and mommies heels but she is content in her as well. Earlier she would whine and bring A shoe to you even if it was just to put on one shoe. She has increased her demands and now that she talks better she insists on both shoes. I've never seen a child get so bent out of shape over shoes! Let's hope she doesn't figure out who Christian Louboutin is!

Jesus loves me
Today at nap time, I told Maia we could sing 1 song or book. She chose song and wanted "Jesus loves me"...my heart melted as she sung it by herself in her sweet 3yr old voice. It's moments like these that I will always cherish!
the start
This blog is solely to capture all the memories we make as a family and remember milestones, funny sayings and all the cute thing kids do!
Maia is currently 3 and has started preschool. Her favorite movie right now is Monster House. The first movie she really started watching was Big Hero 6, then HOME, Chipmonks, and sometimes Frozen. She loves to read books. She is able to count almost to 20 by herself! She learned how to whistle which we amazing to us since we didn't even teach her. Her favorite color might be red but not 100%. She likes to play with dolls and kitchen imagine play. For awhile she wouldn't leave the house without a tutu! I hope she finds an interest in ballet! Her favorite food is hard to pin point but of course she likes candy. Maybe it's her daddies tacos. She gets extremely excited when I tell her we are going to a birthday party, maybe singing Happy Birthday is magical. Her favorite song is Katy Perry Roar and "12345 first I caught a fish alive!"
Wynter is almost 19 months. She is talking in 3 word sentences, Dances like no one is watching, and is our comic relief. This little girl cracks me up all the time! She calls our phone Cows because of an app that plays animal noises. For the most part she sleeps good but she went through the 18m sleep regression. I'm hoping that is in the past!!! She is such an affectionate little girl. She loves kisses and hugs. She kisses everything and says bye! We don't have pets but we have adopted our neighbors cat Angel and every night we say hello to the geicos outside our window. Wynter loved baby dolls and real babies. She almost seems fascinated by something smaller than her. She gently will touch a babies head or stroke their body. Cutest thing ever. She likes juice (Capri suns) to a point where she thinks that is all she needs in life. I can't tell you how many juice bags, empty, I pick up each day. Needless to say we have been limiting the habit lol. She is close to potty training since she tells me she has pooped. We'll see how that goes!!! Update soon!
That's it for now...princess Maia woke up
