Mission: Possible?

by Maile Girl on March 23, 2010

Hmm... what's in here? It looks like fun... I wonder why Daddy chose to block my access with this shiny clear divider?

Oh, don't you worry. I will conquer this puzzle shortly. Oh yes, yes I will... (insert evil, but mostly cute laugh here)

Twinkle, Twinkle

by Maile Girl on March 21, 2010

A little song to start your week off with a smile. I asked mommy and daddy to take care of the lead vocals. I’m playing the twinkle…

Sometimes my eating goes smoothly…

Sometimes not so much…

And sometimes, it just gets weird…

Daddy has been hard at work the past couple of weeks. I asked mommy what he was up to and she told me that his business builds a tool called BracketBrains that helps people fill out their March Madness brackets. Then I asked her what a “March Madness bracket” was and she said that even better then telling me was to show me. So she gave me a blue marker and then showed me a piece of paper with a lot of lines and words. We then worked on “filling” out my bracket. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out – I’ll share my picks with you here in case you need help with your own brackets!

So all I need to do is pick the teams I like? Okay, I'll draw some lines to show you...

Maile's First March Madness Bracket - see below for Daddy's interpretation

Maile's First March Madness Bracket - see below for Daddy's interpretation

Dad note: Okay, here is my interpretation of Maile’s bracket:

– She thinks the bottom half of the Midwest region is going to be a battle: Oklahoma St, Georgia Tech and Ohio State are all tough teams. She ultimately sees Ohio State surviving.

– She thinks Vanderbilt is overseeded at #4 and will go out to Butler in the Second Round.

– She really likes New Mexico to make it to the Elite Eight.

– She also likes Duke to survive the South region (really no bias, she made the mark herself!)

– Her Final Four? Ohio State, Kansas St, Kentucky and Duke. She has Duke playing Kansas St in the Championship and Duke winning it all!

Waving Bye-Bye to Daddy

by Maile Girl on March 9, 2010

Daddy has been in Boston all week for work. I miss him a lot, but luckily I still get to see him every day using the computer. I’m not sure exactly how everything works, but mommy presses a few buttons and then all of sudden there daddy is talking to me on the computer screen.

Today when we were saying goodbye I decided to give daddy a big surprise and I waved to him! (I had waved before, but never on command). Just goes to show you how much I miss him!

Reading to Hannah

by Maile Girl on March 3, 2010

Since I’m older than Hannah (exactly one month to the day), I sometimes help Megan out by reading to her. Don’t tell Hannah, but I totally make up the stories as I go along. I mean, yes, I’m older, but I’m still only 7.5 months old. I can’t read silly!

Okay Hannah, pay attention over here and I'll tell you a story...

Maile: See Hannah, that's a monkey and he's riding a yellow umbrella. Hannah: Why? Maile: How should I know? I can't read...

Can’t Fool Me!

by Maile Girl on March 2, 2010

When I was born I received a really nice blanket as a gift. It was called a Taggie blanket and it has all these “fake” tags all over it. I guess some babies get distracted by these imposters. Not me. I’m very discerning in my tag consumption and I made sure I found the real thing. Corporate America can try to trick me with their fake products, but I’ll keep things real, thank you very much!

(Dad note: despite Maile not being fooled by the fake tag aspect, it is still a great blanket – very good quality. Recommended.)

Hanging with Allison

by Maile Girl on February 22, 2010

Dedicated followers of my blog may recall that Allison S. is my very first friend. We first met when I was just a week old!

I don't really remember my first play date with Allison - apparently I slept right through it!

We're just two hapa girls living the life!
