another robinson baby!

It's been a while.  Between buying a house, work and getting pregnant I haven't been updating the blog.  The big news is that we are having another baby!  We are so excited and the 2 littles will be 2 years apart- perfect for our little family :)  I was sicker than sick again this pregnancy- worse this time actually.  Cracked my head open fainting early on, throwing up multiple times a day until about 16 weeks.  I am now at 21 weeks and we go this week for our second ultrasound.  We are not finding out the gender (bummed about it) but Ryan insisted we keep it a surprise. 

From when we found out right after 4th of July.

We bought a house!!!

So we bought a house and last weekend decided we wanted to move in.  We had initially planned to wait a bit, get some work done (lights, painting, minor demo) but instead I said, it's time.  So here we are a week in our house!!  YAY!  And I must say, I love it.  I am happy even though we got 6-8 inches of snow yesterday on April 18... APRIL 18- SNOW?!  What. 

I will post pictures soon, but not until we change what we want to have changed.  Our bed is currently on the floor since we are going to be getting a king.  But we are just so dang excited.  Here are a few from the realtor's page. 

This gal.

She just keeps us cracking up.  Crawling into the dishwasher and making herself laugh.

3 Bears Lodge and a Dr Appointment

We had a great weekend.  The family drove and met up at Three Bears Lodge in Wisconsin.  YaYa did a great job driving out, she fell asleep almost immediately.  :)  The rest of the weekend and her sleep patterns were a different story.  Let's just say, I am thankful we are back home and she is sleeping. 

Today Maija had her 1 year well visit.  She had to get 3 shots and a finger prick.  Everything is looking good!  I just get so sad watching the poor bebe get shots but... she didn't even cry!  She was a champ.  She had a bit of a fever and then tonight she had a rough time going to sleep and threw up.  So I just cuddled her and let her fall asleep in my arms before putting her in the crib.  She is just so sweet, I hate seeing her not feeling well.

We have a 1 year old on our hands!

Little Miss Maija Brianne turned 1 years old today.  I tried to take some time to remember a year ago and all the emotions I was feeling.  We have had an exciting year, less sleep than we thought, but an exciting and joy-filled year.

Maija has such a great little personality.  Since she has begun walking she is becoming even more independent.  She loves to do things her way and has minor "freak outs" when she doesn't get her way.  [She gets laughed at a lot when this happens]. 

 

She is sleeping through the night- what a difference it makes.  Thank you Jesus!  She sleeps from 6:30pm-7am.  She takes 2 naps during the day.  Her favorite foods are blueberries and strawberries, blueberry pancakes, pears, sweet potatoes, grilled cheese, and she loves shredded cheese.  Grandma gives her oatmeal with raisins too!

Her hair is coming in, slowly but surely and her little round body is so cute. 

We are so thankful for this little girl and all the laughs she gives us.  Happy Birthday dear babe!

our little valentine.

I've never liked valentines day.  that being said, i still try to celebrate with ryan.  we stay in and normally make fondue and a few years i have made him watch the notebook... :] poor Ryan.

this year was different.  this year we have yaya.  it's her first valentines day and although we had to work we all had lunch together.  she wore hearts.  she was just too cute.  i love her chubby cheeks.  so this valentines day i feel happy.  this is our dear little babies first valentines day.

january.

 Little Maija is pulling up on everything she can.  We have had to move all furniture that could fall over.  She is standing without holding onto anything, when she realizes it she squats down but I think we will have a little walker before her 1st bday.

Maija loves going in her little tunnel tent from G & G Goff.  We put her favorite books in there and she is constantly crawling through the tunnel and enjoying looking at pictures of animals :)

 It's hysterical when she crawls through the tunnel, the whole thing wiggles and shakes- one of her favorite places to play "Where's Maija?"  Then out pops her little head with her big ole goofy 3 tooth smile!

 

It has been so cold here!  She has been super bundled up and always falls asleep in the car!

 

Her favorite activities include looking at pictures (especially of cousin Abby and Ryan) and reading books!  Hope little smarty pants keeps it up!

And her other favorite thing is bath time!  She is so funny in there and a great activity for when she starts getting fussy before bed.  Unfortunately, she is taking after her mama and we are seeing the fake crying which leads to tears... we all just laugh, but I know that frustrates her too (remember I was the pro at fake crying!)

 

 

Seattle.

Now that it is 2013 and we are passed Christmas and New Years I hope to get back into the swing of things.  We had a new adventure for Christmas.  Maija went on her first plane ride and went to Seattle for her first of many times!  She did so well on the flight but unfortunately didn't sleep consistently the whole trip.  It made for a not so relaxing vacation but it was good to be with the family and go to the Seahawks-49ers game!

Fish Market

Maija has been moving around everywhere.  She loves to crawl and pull up on furniture.  She now can walk holding on to just one hand.  It's so cute!  She has started to make some new sounds and mimics everything we do.  Her newest sound is "ffff" her mouth is so adorable when she does it.  That girl is just so delicious. Today, she was banging the cymbals together at my parents and started to say "gong" out of no where!  Yes, I think she is a prodigy :)

Siblings

With Grandma Robinson

We started her on formula for the day and so far the weaning is going well!  I go to FL for work next week for 4 days and I am sick of pumping so it just made sense to do right now.  She is eating more "human" foods.  Tonight she loved her blueberries.  She likes blueberry pancakes, waffles, shredded cheese, toast with fruit, bananas and a few other things.  She still eats mostly baby food and prefers fruit over veggies or meat- she's my kind of girl with a sweet tooth already.

I'm sorry

I tried to update the blog tonight but for some reason it wouldn't let me upload any pictures!  Which is the only important part... so I will try again tomorrow!

Snow Baby!

The weather has certainly changed here!  Lots of snow.  Maija doesn't know what to do with it and we don't know how to drive in it.

Thanks for the gift mustache dad.

First Snow Angel

9 months old and missing her daddy

Little Miss 9 Month Old has a good check up.  She is still in the 50-75% and looks healthy!  She didn't have to get shots but still hated going and looked terrified.  She was actually shaking.  It was so sad.
