Cousin Fun

OK I am going to try and catch up on my blogging. I have now started a mommy blog for our mommy group www.mommy-to-mommy.blogspot.com it is taking up some of my blogging time. Enough excuses lets get to the kids. Maya is doing well she is really becoming an independent little girl. Our play dates have been helping her and now she will leave my side to go play with kids she has never met before. I don't know if this is good or bad because I really have to keep my eye on her! Maya continues to tell stories and wants us to tell her stories and play pretend. In my next blog I will post a video of her telling a story to her friend Tulsi. Maya had such a fun time this Easter. The whole family was together to celebrate Easter and my 30th birthday. We put together and Easter egg hunt that the kids had a blast with. Maya loves her cousins and I am still hearing about how she can't wait to see them again. Then my cousins came over with there girls and my Aunt came over with her girls so we have had a lot of cousin time and Maya loves every minute of it! I love it because it keeps her happy and busy and man is she tired when everyone goes home! Lindsey is now 8 months old and is changing so fast I can't keep up. In the span of two weeks she started pulling herself along the floor to full crawling to pulling up and starting to walk along the couch. She also cut two teeth and is working on more. She loves that she can get around and you can tell is proud of her self for all that she is accomplishing. We are now in the back breaking stage of her wanting us to walk her around by holding her hands. I will be thankful when this stage is over. She also is standing alone a couple seconds by herself! Spring is finally here and we bought our neighbors swing set. Maya has been having a ton of fun on it. It is older so we are going to paint it and I am in works with Mike to make the top into a castle!! I am hoping that we can get that done this summer but with them busy with their business and us with ours we will see! I hope to be posting again soon with more video and pics of my birthday! Love to everyone!
