1/2 a year old.

That's right, Maija is 6 months old today!  She has changed so much since coming into the world in February.  She is a smiley, chatty, stubborn babe who we just can't get enough of!

 

Birth Day

 

6 months old and lovin life!

Maija has been movin and a shakin!  This morning she was a little too far away from her rattle so she tried to crawl [I think it will be any day now!] and will rock herself until she can get whatever it is.  Now, we have a lot of toys for her but she seems to prefer EVERYTHING else more.  Whether it is our cellphones, remotes, books, bags, waterbottles, baskets, boxes... you can't leave her too long or you come back to this...

New texture!  yes, please

Maija [and Ryan] had a major first this last week... MN State Fair.  I know, everyone has fairs and everyone thinks they are the best, but really MN has the BEST State Fair!  We met some of my friends from HS and took off with Maija in the BOB.  We ate so much food, went on a few rides, played some games and took off around 10pm when the rain started and Maija stayed awake pretty much the whole time!  I mean, there was just so much going on, she really couldn't help it.  We had a really good time and Ryan wants to go again this week but I think that is part of the fun, it comes every year so just go once and leave on a high note and in anticipation for next year.  [This is one of the best places EVER to people watch!]

Fair fun with daddy

Tonight we have BIG plans to celebrate.  We are going to the Twins Game with my parents!  They are playing the Mariners so that was perfect.  Ryan thinks Maija is going to cheer for the Mariners, he's confused.  However, she is ready for the Seahawks season and so excited that we all bought tickets for the game in Seattle December 23rd!  Woo Hoo!

 



 

Gotta love those leg rolls!
