Nothing too exciting...

So I haven't taken any wonderful pictures lately (maybe because the weather has really cooled down a lot and we haven't been playing outside as much) and our life just really hasn't been that exciting seeing how finals are in full swing! But I guess I have to take that last statement back...Maia ALWAYS seems to keep our life exciting. She is starting to talk so much more now and gets more and more of a personality/attitude every day (not always a good thing!) Right now she loves the following...Elmo, reading books (especially Spot books), playing outside, talking on the phone, "licking" gum (for some reason she loves the flavor of gum, so I let her "lick it like a dog" but once she starts biting it, she has to give it back to me), playing with her dad, "running," eating cereal (I think she has this for every meal lately!), cuddling in her blankie, sitting on her potty chair (just for fun, not to really do anything, although I tell her she can have lots of chocolate and sweets if she really goes!), school buses, playing with friends, and our favorite, giving lots of hugs and kisses. She is so sweet and we don't know what we would do without her in our lives. The other day David came home from school kind of down and out after a brutal final exam and the minute he walked in the door, Maia ran over to him and gave him a big hug, patted him on the back, and gave him a kiss, like she was just letting him know that she loved him and that everything was going to be okay. It was the cutest thing!
Anyway, these pictures are just a little random, but the other day I was in my little craft room and it got really quiet for a while (BAD sign when you have kids) so I went to check and see what Maia was up to. This is what I found...she had emptied all of her bath toys out of her basket and was wearing it on her head like a hat. She is a silly kid, I'll tell you what.

Love the pic of Maia with the basket on her head. Xander wants to keep coming back to see it! He thinks it so funny!

She is so funny! I want to meet her in person. She is growing up so much. It's crazy that they grow up so so fast.

Oh, what a cutie pie! It's so sweet when they come and hug you and they don't even know the stress in your life but they're the happiest just to be here. If only we could be that care free sometimes! I'm sure David passed with flying colors...just think after this semester you guys will be in your second year! Hooray!
