Working Child

Maelin got a little taste of home ownership and work this weekend.  Let's hope she thinks its just as fun when she is older.  

 Helping Dad with the porch

 Here ya go....let's get it done!

 Flower/plant shopping at the Home Depot

 Too many decisions, walking away

 Well deserved break in her pool

Time for Mom and Dad to work, I just shat my swim suit, ha! 

Downward dog follow up - a new seat in the house

As a follow up to the last post.......this is the result of when Maelin "unstuck" herself from the downward dog position - she fell back into a bowl, yikes!

New Moves

Over the past few weeks Maelin has learned some new moves to get around.  She now has a new butt scoot, knee crawl combination thing.  It looks harder to do than crawling so not sure why she feels the need to make life more complicated, but at least it gets her to where she needs to go.  She also has taken quite a liking to walking, which is great for her developmentally but terrible for mine and Brett's back.  One of us is always holding her hand and walking her around the house, the bending over is starting to add up.  At PT this week, she walked about ten feet independently and seemed to love it as she smiled and laughed and even clapped for herself when she was done.  Of course though, when we practice at home, she automatically sits down and refuses to try again.  I am now convinced Maelin is more stubborn than both Brett and I combined, it is ridiculous!!
