Dear Maya,
This is a retrospective summary of probably your 7th and 8th month of life. Boy have we been busy, mostly trying to keep up with you.
As I lie here on the couch with Daddy.. something I haven't done in what seems like eons.. we're saying that it feels like the big financial life changes that came with you arrival are winding down.
I almost wish I had the following list before having you, and so I'm recording it for posterity.
We started with the garage appt- not just a place for family and friends to visit you (although they say us), but also under which is now a child's paradise.
Then we hired Nanny and BFF Maria.
Then we started your college fund.
Then we go life insurance.
Oh, and very important, a very quiet diswasher.
Then, and this is just the day before yesterday.. a second car, the Mazda 5.
And then today, car insurance.
Whew-weee, you're quite an investment.
You're so worth it Maya, and here's what you've been up to.
We outfitted your room, and the bookshelf on the left is now full of books that Mimi and Emi donated to you. Right now you loooove to pull them off the shelves, ok and read them too. The blur in the second picture is your head enjoying story time with Daddy. The book is Owl Babies.
This is one of your faaavourite books that we read at least once a day. It's from Auntie Nicole and it's called.. as you might guess by the holes.. The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
And you learnt to crawl. You are so fast, we have to be very careful. The first and the second video are about a month apart.
Surprise-Surprise! Your Boston Nana, Mrs Burns, came to visit you and we had a fun time eating at Black Walnut with the whole Burns clan.
Now it has gotten as hot as 106 degrees here (over 40 Celcius) and so we've had to be creative and beat the summer heat. We go eveeeery weekend to the Bellaire pool, and boy do you have a ball.
And I want you to remember your very first Father's Day. We took Daddy out for a delicious.. low salt.. lunch at Ruggles Bakery.
