Oh Raspberries!

Mazy loves blackberries so I bought some berries at Costco for her to try. She loved the raspberries the best. I couldn't even get them to the kitchen before she started eating them. This clip is after I'd given her about 10 already. I love giving her new foods to try. At costco they had mini dill pickle samples and she ate one as we shopped. It was so cute I was tempted to buy 2 big jars of them, the only thing that stopped me was the fact that we're moving in 2 weeks and I don't want to haul pickles to our new apt in the moving truck. She has just enough hair for a mini piggy tail now.

Mazy turns ONE!

On Sunday, May 9th, Mazy turned 1. We had a little party for her complete with cake (I made) and ice cream. We have such great friends in St. Louis and are grateful to have such a turn out. Mike's parents drove from IL to spend Mother's day weekend with us also. Since Mazy's turned one something catastrophic (at least in the mind of her mother) has happened.

Sunday: her finger got slammed into a door jam, an ER visit to determine a fractured finger.
Monday: 3 shots..which to her were most unpleasant.
Tuesday: discovered she could not walk faster than gravity and slammed her forehead into the corner of our bed frame.
Wednesday: diagnosed with thrush secondary to taking antibiotics which were prescribed due to her fx finger.
Thursday: fell down a flight of stairs!
Friday: got a poor yeast infection also secondary to taking antibiotics...Dr. then unprescribed
Who knows what Saturday will bring???

Here's the tutu I made and onsie my sister made. Look at how big she's grown in just 1 year.
4 days old.


The day it all began...


Everything she holds she tries to put behind her head.

We are so blessed to have her in our lives, she brings us great joy with a touch of anxiety.

Happy Birthday Mazy May. I love you SO much, more and more everyday.

Mom :)

Austin Texas

Mike had an orthodontic conference in Washington DC for 5 days so Mazy and I went to Austin Texas to visit my sister, Tori, and her family. She has a 4 yo daughter Emmaline, the girls really enjoyed playing together. Emmaline was a great cousin and let Mazy play with all her toys. It was a lot of fun, hopefully we can do it again soon!

Here's Mazy playing Peek a boo with Emmaline's sunglasses.

We went swimming and the girls had a lot of fun. Emmaline was a brave girl and went out in the deep (4 foot) end with an inflatable tube and Mommy.

I just love this girls smile and the best part is she does it a lot. Mazy walked around in the pool with my help, she didn't seem to even notice the cold water....I wish I could say the same.

Tori and Emmaline warming up in the sun.

Here's the tutu I made Emmaline. She thought it would be fun to put ALL her dress up clothes on, I don't think she'll ever be a fashion consultant. Mazy is posing in some fairy wings that she thought would look better in the front.


My parents sent the girls a box full of books, dresses, and toys.

I think they enjoyed the box the most. Emmaline would say, "does Mazy want to get in the box and play with me?" I think you know the answer by the look on her face.

Emmaline sporting her new swimsuit, hat, and shades.

Me and the girls, if you look close Emmaline's lips are blue.

Mazy sitting in Emmaline's soft chair. You can really see her 6 teeth in this photo. Don't let her sweet smile fool you they are very sharp and she's not afraid to prove that to you!

Here's the dresses my parents gave them. We just got back from church in this pic.





Mazy is still 11 mo (barely). She took her very first step on April 18th, look at her now in 2 short weeks.
