Maizer Daze

That's what we call Maizey. Or, pumpkin, pumpkin face, pumpkin sauce, bambina, bambi, bean, love, little love, lover, lover bug, bug, sweet pea, sweetie peetie, babe, Maize, you get the point.

Maizey's teething went from matter-of-fact to "holy crap, this is sucks ass!" Poor pumpkin has had 2 terrible nights in a row. Pretty much the only thing that made her happy tonight was chewing on her pacifier and a the brief moments after the application of Baby Orajel--I can't believe this stuff is only 4 times daily, I think that 4 times an hour would suit our needs better. If there is any positive to this process, it's that she sleeps a TON. Today she basically took a nap from 11am-5pm--she did wake up for an hour at about noon.

We spent the last few days at a family friend's house in La Conner. It was really nice and relaxing and we ate VERY well (good for the soul but not the butt). The weather was crummy so we didn't get to go in her pool, but that's a Seattle summer for you.

Here are some new photos...
Classic Maizey-getting-changed pose.

Maize and Daddy at a visit to cousin Harper's house. Isn't he cute? My Matt Hasselbeck.

Mama and Maize at Shelley's house. Maizey refuses to take a picture where she actually looks happy to be with me.

Juicy buns. Cutest thing ever. Thanks George.

Maizey enjoying her time at the Mexican restaurant.

Enjoying some tummy time today...during her one hour break from napping.

Here I am trying to keep Maizey happy during her tough night.

Do we look alike? Maybe if I smuged some mascara under her eyes and didn't bathe her for 3 days too...

Here is Daddy's attempt at keeping her happy.

This is what a good job he did...
