Corinne: 9 months

February 21, 2016: 9 months old

We forgot to bring her 9 month sticker to Mexico (bad parents!) but at least she got to spend her "birthday" in paradise. At 9 months C is still a little square, weighing in at 20 lbs 9.5 oz (83%) and 26.5 inches (9%). She is still a happy, chill kid who loves to sit and play with her toys, watch her big sister, shake her head from side to side "no," and laugh her cackling laugh.

Whistler

The Green and Glettles clans decided to spend a weekend in winter wonderland (aka Whistler, B.C.).  The adults got in some solo ski time and even a night out.  The kids loved sledding, trying their hand at skiing, playing dress up, having slumber parties, and throwing 'baby raves' (for the uninitiated, toddlers + glow sticks + dark room + dance music = baby rave). Hanging with the Greens is never a bad time and we can't wait to do it again...

Birthday Celebration

To celebrate Maya's 3rd birthday we hosted a joint birthday party with Miles, Maya's best little buddy from school.  They have been joined at the hip since they were 4 months old and have birthdays only 3 days apart.  Their families and preschool class enjoyed a morning of playing at our local community center, followed by celebratory cupcakes.  Happy Birthday, M & M!

Birthday Girl

Our first baby is 3 years old...where does the time go?!?!  

At 3, Maya is sassy, smart, strong-willed, funny, high energy, a great big sister, a talker and a soul who dances and sings her way through life. She provides us with constant entertainment, but also keeps us on our toes by not letting anything slip by her. We are learning how to answer her constant refrain of "why" and cherishing every spontaneous hug and "I love my family" she gives us.  As cliché as it sounds, we are thankful everyday that MJ is our little girl.
