March 27 = Package for Mama Day

Look what I got in the mail today!  Nothing says nearing 30 than getting super excited about new leftover containers!  But the rectangular ones stack and the square ones stack and the tops stack and it's so organized and pretty and... I could go on.

Malia's still into her puzzles I got her when we went to the Breakfast Shoppe a few weeks ago: 

Also.  This sums up my life.

March 12 = Second Spring Break Day

Here's a McKenzie update:

And more pictures from our week on our own:

We went to the Breakfast Shoppe... I love the Breakfast Shoppe so much but it's always so crowded and we have to wait so it's not ideal for Liam.  So Malia and I went and there was a 45 minute wait so we went across the street to AC Moore and I got her some Minnie Mouse puzzles and we came back just in time for breakfast.  It was so yummy and Malia had so much fun coloring and doing puzzles!

Also, I laughed out loud when I saw this:

January 25 = Ring Around the Rosy (or is Rosie?) Day

First I thought this was funny- my phone was telling me I had 1,100 voicemails from Liam's speech therapy office.

Also, we had an ultrasound done today- look at this little one!

 And Liam had OT today- Malia's still pretty obsessed with this puzzle.

Also, a very important day of my life has happened.  Malia is now able and willing to pick grapes off their little vines.  It may not seem like that big of a deal but with how much she loves grapes, it is.

So I'm still pretty behind on blogging (but I'm catching up!) and so it took me a minute to figure out why I had taken this picture but I remembered:

We were getting ready to go somewhere and I told Liam to get a coat.  He brought this one downstairs but I hate putting him in his car seat with this coat on if it's not freezing outside so I told him that one was too big, to find a different one.  I went downstairs to put stuff in the car and he came down the stairs with a different coat and said "This coat not big, it's little."  And I was so impressed!

Also, I'm still in love with Obama/Biden Memes so here...

And finally, I'll leave you with these two videos that I think are super cute- especially when Malia says "get back here."

January 29 = Typical Thursday Day

I've mentioned multiple times that Thursday nights are a bit rough.  I tried to start the day off really well by giving Liam a super nutritious breakfast: clementines, kiwi and golden delicious apples.  

He ate most of it and that gave me the confidence to think we were going to have an awesome day.  It continued to go really well- we went to the library for "Babies in Bloom."  Liam sat in my lap and let me hold the book the coordinator was reading- he even tolerated one of the songs!  I wasn't able to take Malia out but Liam enjoyed himself so all in all it was a good experience.  We went home long enough for me to pump and eat a quick lunch and then we met some friends at Target.  We got some yummy snack and a face lotion for Miss Malia- her face keeps getting chapped from the cold I think.  Oh- then we ran to Bed Bath & Beyond because earlier in the 30 minutes we were home earlier, when I opened the freezer to put some milk in there to freeze, a glass bottle fell and hit the crock pot on the way down- breaking the stoneware and then shattering on the kitchen floor.  I got a new crockpot at Bed Bath & Beyond and then we headed to My Gym for Liam's therapy appointment.  We are thinking about getting a membership there for Liam and Malia so I talked to someone there about that and then we came home to see Zachary for a few minutes and then I laid Liam and Malia down for a much needed nap.  I got a few things done but the time flew and this is how Liam's mood was for the rest of the evening:

We played with a few toys but he pretty much wanted to be left alone.  So I turned my attention to Malia and tried to get her to eat one of the pouches we got at Target earlier in the day.  So far, she's rejected all purees but I thought it was worth a try.  I was right!

She loved it!  So then Liam decided he wanted attention after all so I went to pick out some toys and found this:

 So while the pieces weren't in, he did a great job of matching the pieces- the snake, elephant and lion are all in the right area and he did it all by himself!  As I took this picture, he was busy- I turned around and he was playing the keyboard!

It was a busy day complete with yummy meals, a bit of a tantrum but plenty of smiles and love too!
