Stowaway

Maybe if I keep really still daddy will pack me too...

Daddy went away last weekend. I snuck up on the bed and tried to get him to pack me, but alas he figured it out…

The Angel That Watches Over Me

by Maile Girl on September 21, 2009

I’ve noticed recently that there is this angel that watches over me – she shows up whenever I am in my swing. She just likes to check in and make sure things are going okay. I thought I was the only one who could see her, but mommy caught her on video – so that’s proof! We also contemplate the meaning of life together – that’s way I look so thoughtful in this video.

What A Difference A Month Makes…

by Papa K on September 20, 2009

We thought we’d check in and give an update on Maile’s tummy time/head lift progress. She’s come along way since the first video we took about a month and a half ago. Here is the first video from August 6th:

And here is a video from this past weekend:

Clearly progress has been made. But before we get too excited – we unfortunately can’t report the same progress on the “thumb sucking”…

Good Morning & Happy New Year

by Papa K on September 18, 2009

Maile has been particularly happy and smiley in the mornings recently. Pretty much nothing better than rolling out of bed and going into her room to find her in her crib smiling away ready to get another day started. Best alarm clock I’ve ever had!

Since it is Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, Maile also wanted to send out her best wishes to all her Jewish family the best way she knows how – basically smiling and laughing!

We’re half way there…

Check out what I learned to do!

Yep, I can hold on tight and wave it all around!

Yes, I'm quite proud of myself.

Okay, play time is over. Now how do I get this thing off?

Okay, play time is over. Now how do I get this thing off?

Seriously, GET OFF! Had you told me it didn't come off, I would have thought twice!

Seriously, GET OFF! Can't believe I'm going to be known as the baby with a green ring attached to her hand. Sweet.

(Dad note: We saw this one coming for a few days now. Maile has mastered the “grip”, but is still working on the “release”. Rest assured, after many pictures and a few chuckles, mommy freed Maile from her green ring and all was well…)

We picked up a new table the other day. It works nicely – just need to find some chairs to go along with it now…

Maile & Daddy - Week 9 (Check out what her bib says...)

Hard to believe our baby girl passed the two month milestone this past weekend. Over the past couple of weeks she has gotten much more active – lots of cooing, much more movement, she seems to be figuring out her hands, she “plays” a bit more with her toys, and best of all, lots of smiles and she seems to recognize Christine and I. We can’t wait to see what comes next!

Patriots Win!

Celebrating the Patriots' come back victory...

Celebrating the Patriots' come back victory...

Okay, my daddy needs to calm down. Yes, the Patriots won, but I have to say I’m disappointed in the way things played out. Sloppy game all around. Bottom line: we’ll take the “W”, but we got lucky.

(Dad note: Apparently, Maile Girl is taking the Bill Belichick-style sleeves a bit too far. She was very harsh in her criticism of the Pats after the game. Hope they pick it up and meet her high standards next week…)

Are You Ready For Some Football?

by Papa K on September 14, 2009

Maile is ready for the Patriots - we Belichick'd her onesie!

Hey, what happened to my sleeves?

Maile is ready to rock for the Patriots/Bills game tonight thanks to the Patriots onesie from her cousins Jason, Sandy, Aidan and Caleb! We did make a slight adjustment so she could prove she was legit – we cut off the sleeves, Bill Belichick-style!

Bill would be proud of our girl...

(PS – Can’t claim credit for the idea to cut Maile’s sleeve. That was all Alex B. – great idea!)
