Groth Baby Blog: Is spring every coming?

We have had a few really nice days here so we have been outside as much as possible. Maya is almost a year and a half and is doing so well. We bought her her first sandbox! She loves it and enjoys hours of play in the box. It is nice that I can sit on the deck with some ice tea and a book while she plays in the sand. She is also old enough to climb on all the play sets that are at the parks. We have wonderful parks around here and we visit them often. She loves going down the biggest slide she can find. When it has been raining or snowing we try and keep ourselves busy in the house. One day we decided to paint our two nails together! She loved it and did a great job keeping her toes flat to dry! She also loves play do and markers. She has a new obsession with the movie Enchanted. We rented it from Netflix and popped it in to watch, she sat for the first 1/2 without moving. She loves the songs and we got her on tape singing one of them!
Josiah has been working a lot so he has been away a lot. Maya and I miss him and are excited to get this business up and rolling so we have Daddy at least in the same town so we can visit him. It will also end most of his driving to Wausau and that will help him, that drive gets long after a while.
Baby is doing great I have my next check up tomorrow. This will be the last check up with my midwife and then I have to try the Dr. because she is leaving the practice. That makes me a bit sad but we will be fine. The baby is moving around a lot and soon Josiah and Maya should be able to feel it kicking around.
Everyone is doing great here and can't wait for constant warm weather, so until next time stay warm if you are in WI!!
