Dear Mom,

You are my favourite person this week.  Seriously.  You can do no wrong.  Oh sure, a few times I’ve thrown a nasty fit for what you thought was no reason, but really I was just keeping you on your toes.  I can’t let you get too used to me being good, happy, and smiling!

But really, I am happy.  The dogs make me smile.  Sophie the Giraffe makes me smile.  Singing, dancing, and talking with you all make me smile.  I’ve finally figured out this ‘laughing’ thing that you seem to love so much, and it makes you and Daddy laugh too, so that’s even better.

Almost every day this week we’ve gone for a walk, and it’s so nice.  Remember when we went to the park and watched those big boys and girls play on the jungle gym?  That was so exciting.  I can’t wait until I can do that.  Then you sat on a swing with me in your lap and THAT was even BETTER!

This growing up thing is cool!  Now to discover how to escape the Bumbo…

Love,
Maia.

Dear Mom,

Shouldn’t you be cooking instead of taking pictures of me?

I know, you’re super impressed that my hands are clasped together.  THAT’S CRAZY! HOW AM I DOING THAT?  Next thing you know, cats will be sleeping with dogs!

Really though, I copied it from you.  Remember the other day when we were sitting on the couch together and you kept bringing your hands together, trying to show me how to do this?  I caught on, I just didn’t want to let you know then.  Gotta keep you on your toes.  It’s cute though, huh?

I have to admit, I love spending time in the kitchen with you.  I love watching you walk back and forth, I love that you show me every ingredient and tell me what it is, and I love that you talk to me about what you are doing.  Someday we will be able to cook together!  You’ll have to show me how to make cookies, since they are Daddy’s favourite.

Love,
Maia.

My Baby’s Mind Monday 01

May 11, 2009

This idea’s been kicking around in my brain for a few weeks now, in particular when I took the pictures in the “I feel ambivalent about this chapeau, mother” series of Maia.  I wonder what she’s thinking and what she’d say to me if she were a more eloquent creature.
So, welcome to my little meme, [...]
