8 months old.

Things have been a little more chaotic since I have gone back to work.  Ryan has really stepped in where I have been lacking.  With my job I have been overnight 1 night a week and with Maija going to bed so early it means Ryan has been putting her to bed 2 nights a week.  I think they are enjoying the bonding time- I miss putting her to bed but she gets up plenty of times in the middle of the night still so I see her [good and bad!].

Bundled babe.
Dressing a little warmer these days!


These last 2 weeks Maija has gotten REALLY strong. She is pulling herself up on everything- a bit of a dare devil though so you have to watch her- she assumes someone will catch her, so she has some bumps to prove it! 

The first time I found her standing in her crib- we lowered it immediately!

Always on her knees grabbing toys!

Loves football like her daddy!

YaYa has been doing great spending a few days a week with my mama [&dad over some lunches!] and Suzy.  I have really been enjoying being back at work and it helps so much that I have such awesome people who love Maija so much with her so I don't have to worry.  It's also nice on the days that I am home that I get to stop in and give her a little smooch every so often! 

At G&G's using the rocking horse my grandpa made for us!

Seahawks beat the Vikings tonight- everyone came over here, which was fun!  And my dad reminded me I hadn't updated this blog in a while so THANKS for the reminder dad- here you go!


She loves her bath times!

  1. Thanks to your dad cause I keep checking everyday and was about to say something if I didn't get some new stuff by tomorrow!! WOOHOO to the Hawks beating the Vikings!
    What are some weird things Maija does? Has she gotten any teeth? Has she started saying anything yet? Give me some details please! :)

    1. She does a lot of weird things. Many faces! We are constantly laughing. She gets intrigued by her hands and will just watch them move around. She is saying mama, dada, baba, nana but she doesn't know what she is saying... it's still so cute! No teeth yet- but drooling like crazy so in the next few months I am sure she will. She still doesn't really like eating much! But they have these squeeze pouches- and she sucks those down- they are more expensive but if it gets her to eat I just let it happen. She is starting to drink water from her sippy cup and gets SO excited when she gets to drink from it! It's adorable!
