Some video's

Maiya was in a great mood tonight, so I got the video camera out to capture it.  Here she is chattering away!


In this video, it looks like she's picking something up and eating it, after I finished taping her, I went over to see what she was eating, and there was nothing there.  She was pretending to eat the entire time! Haha fooled me!

And a picture with her new Hippo, it unfolds into both a pillow and a giant blanket!  She is totally in a loving stuffed animals thing right now, loving them and hugging them all the time.

Easter

Getting ready to dress up for Easter dinner at Grandma's.  She did NOT like getting her hair done.  I tried to tell her that these would not be her last tears shed over her hair.

Dressed up and ready to go... I think that the pigtails totally make her look like me as a baby - family, any opinions here??

Grandma reading a story...

 Post pigtails bad hair!

Birthday Party!

Well it's hard to believe (and very cliche) but it is hard to believe that it has been a year already!  Through all of it, fussy nights, and fun milestones, I have to say that I've totally enjoyed being a mom, and wouldn't change a thing.

Maiya ended up being sick with a fever all weekend over her real birthday (April 2), so it was lucky that we had planned to have her party this weekend.  Here are some pics from the last week or two of my big 1 year old toddler (not that she's really doing much toddling).

This is a picture heavy post... but I haven't posted any in a while, so I have to catch up.

Maiya and daddy blowing raspberries at each other.


Uncle Colin and Aunt Jinny sent an awesome little people barn! 

And and an even better box! 

Poor sick girl got treated to KD for supper on her birthday. 

The making of the cake... here it is all iced and ready to put the fondant on. 

Here is the final product! 

Birthday girl and her cake. 

Daddy lighting the candle. 

A pretty cool cake if I do say so myself! 

Daddy wanted her to blow out the candle... maybe next year. 

Mmmmmm! 

Grandma Harder gave her a princes-mobile!  She loves it. 

Trying to get a picture with mom, but she was not cooperating. 

Grandma Toffelmire made the cutest sundress ever for her! 

It also works fantastically for peek-a-boo. 

And I just love this picture.
