FUN IN THE SUN - Galveston San Luis Pass

August 22, 2010 We all went to the beach and enjoyed every bit of it with our wonderful family. I wanted to take them to Schlitterbahn however we thought the beach was much better for Maybella and Mataio really wanted to build sand castles. A great way to end our summer vacation!! This part of Galveston was nice, although the water still looks like MUD, but the sand was soft and clean. Impressive for Galveston.

Story Time

Mataio and Maybella love bed time stories. They each grab their own story book and read it to themselves sometimes. Maybella is pretending to read. Mataio is a great reader at 6 years old. He sometimes reads to his little sister. They truely enjoy reading.

Maybella at 15 months

Maybella @15 months...brushing her own teeth!

Maybella loves brushing her own teeth. If she sees any tooth brush she will stick it in her mouth and brush her teeth. She had her 15 month check up today and she was not a happy camper. Everytime the doctor touched her she cried.

These are the things she can do now:

says...hi, bye, apple, up, down, happy, eye, ta ta, da da, mum mum, wa wa, hot, cat, ball, box, thank you, go, open, flower, cup, barney, elmo

....she really tries to say anything you do...

She listens to everything you say...She throws away her own diaper in the trash

She can point to her eyes, nose, ear, head...pat her head, belly button...

Uses cup, spoon, fork independently

she climbs up and down the stairs all by herself

She loves to eat apples...

She has bad temper tantrums which mommy is trying very hard to implement time out and discipline...

The doctor says no more bottles ... and limit her milk consumption... which she drinks 32 oz a day ... so more food less milk...

And she can definitely brush her own teeth

Her hair is growing longer with little curls....
