Pretty girls

She loves to play with Maegan's big bunny.
The bonnet barely fit! But, she looked sooo cute!

Maegan got the camera and started taking pictures of Makayla. She didn't want her picture taken.


What a cute close-up she got of Makayla! She looks like she is in deep thought.



Maegan loves holding Makayla and tries to pick her up when she is crying. She has really surprised us with how great she is with her. I was catching up both of their baby books last night. Maegan was looking at hers and was convinced the baby was Makayla! She didn't believe it was here. We told her that was when you were in Guatemala with _______.(her fostermom) and that is when Mommy and Daddy got on the airplane to bring you home. When she sees an airplane she'll say, we rode an airplane to California to pick Makayla up! She remembers so many details of that trip! Even though she was sick and not feeling well. I'm so glad we were able to take her.

She's starting early!



Here is Miss Maegan blow drying her hair after her bath. It goes more smoothly if I let her do it herself for a bit! She insists on having her fingernails and toenails painted at times! I introduced her to the little stickers you can put on your nails and she thinks that is just the best thing ever! It seems like overnight she has started talking so much more maturely! She is still an awesome big sister! She loves to hold Makayla, sing to her and squeeze her cheeks! It's so funny when she does that. She gets a big handful and pulls. We all yelled at the same time for her to let go, but Makayla busted out laughing! My favorite saying Maegan says about Makayla is,"Poor Makayla, she don't have any teeth to eat and has to drink a bottle! Bless her heart!"She says it with such a sad face and pouty lips! I never realized how much of my kiddos lives I was missing when I was working! I was only seeing Maegan an hour in the morning and about about 4 or so hours in the evening. That is craziness! I am so thankful I have been given this opportunity! I haven't yet decided when I will start to look for a job......i feel when the time is right I will know!

Sorry for being MIA!

Poor Makayla!! We don't know what happened! She was laughing then started screaming! She probably was tired of Wayland's bratty attitude too!
She went from chillin in her bumbo to snoozing in her bumbo!

Makayla is gonna be our paci baby! Maegan never took one!


On one of our warm days, Maegan took her car outside for a test drive. Her legs are a bit short still.

2009


Makayla & Maegan watching Dora this morning!




Makayla turned 3 months old today! Below is a picture of Maegan just a few weeks younger than Makayla on our 1st visit trip to see her in Guatemala! Makayla is more...um...healthier in the size department than Maegan was! Makayla loves her meal times that's for sure! They are both great girls! Makayla smiles and coos all the time. Maegan is into puzzles! She knows all of her colors and most of her numbers and letters. She loves to sing(especially to Makayla when she cries) and dance.
