Maybella's first plane ride!!!

At first Maybella was sleeping, before take off she woke up and was very kranky. She seemed tired still but was not comfortable enough to sleep again. So we tried giving her her toys to play with, we tried feeding her milk but it still didn't comfort her. She cried a lot and then she dirtied her diaper but of course the plane didn't have a changing table. I had to change her diaper in the restroom, but when I was about to put on a clean diaper, she pee'd all over the floor and on her shirt. What a mess!! Maybella really didn't like the plane ride one bit. It was very stressful for the both of us for the whole 2 hours. =( However it was for a great cause...FAMILY VACATION IN PARADISE!!!!

Maybella loves to drink water. I gave her the sippy cup and she grabbed it on her own. Her motor skills are really developing!!! I hope she can hold the milk bottle on her own soon. She can push the bottle in her mouth already.

Maybella in her Jumper

After exhausting hours of holding Maybella and trying to keep her busy with toys without keeping my eyes off her, I finally got a jumper. She loves the fact that she can stand up! And oh boy can I get more accomplished in a day! She's happy and my hands are free! Great investment.

Mataio's First Flag Football Game

Mataio joined flag football this year and he loves it. He is always ready to go to practices and play at the games. He enjoys running and throwing the football. He especially enjoys playing with other little boys his age. At practice it's more like tackle football than flag because the kids run around and tackle the person with the ball. During real games, tackling is not allowed. They will learn the game eventually.

Mataio's first week of school

Every day I take him to the bus stop, which is in front of the house, and blow kisses and wave bye bye. After school, I wait for him outside. We have the option of walking to school, one block away, but he'd rather ride the bus.

Taurus babies are usually quiet and calm. They are pleasant characters, sometimes a little shy, and they dislike being the centre of attention but respond well to affection, showing a great deal of affection in return. Although outbursts are rare, a Taurus baby dislikes being opposed and can be stubborn about getting her own way. A young Taurus will work steadily at a task.

When raising a Taurus it is best not to try to force your child to do something. The danger is that your child will turn stubborn and Taureans can hold their ground for a long time. It is best to avoid harsh commands, instead loving hugs will melt any resistance.

Young Taureans can charm all adults, especially those of the opposite sex. Shows of physical affection toward your child are essential, but take care not to smother her. Taurus children are sensitive to their surroundings and they will thrive in harmonious settings of both colour and sound. Soft sounds and shades of pink and blue will be calming to your baby.

Both music and art will interest a Taurus child so you should encourage listening to melodious music, drawing and colouring. Once a Taurus has learnt something it will not be forgotten. It is important to encourage a Taurus child to express themselves through words, music or art because there will be a tendency to hide true feelings. <3

A Typical Pices Baby

Your baby will have the most winning ways of all babies, and will dazzle you with the sweetest of smiles. He will dislike order and routine and will have an amazing imagination. Some Pisces children live in a world of make believe with imaginary people to talk to, and they believe in magic, fairies and myths - don't ever tell them that Santa Claus does not exist, it will be traumatic! Young Pisceans can have a very active sixth sense. Your child may enjoy the company of adults more than that of other children. Pisces children rarely lose their temper, instead they will happily continue on their own sweet way.

Pisces children tend to avoid the limelight and do not seek to lead. Parents should not push their child into such positions. Their passive, non-aggressive natures mean that Pisces children can often be the victims of bullying. You will need to watch for this and to teach your child a strategy for dealing with such situations.

Young Pisceans seek attachments to people and animals rather than places and things. They need to be taught to believe in themselves to prevent them from becoming too clinging. Pisceans absorb all sorts of information like sponges (you may have a future Mastermind!) and need to be taught to distinguish between reality and fantasy.

Two Pisces children in the same family will get on very well together, often building an imaginary world. A Piscean parent with a Pisces child will also have an excellent relationship.
