Getting out of that Ordinary Everyday Rut!: Maelie Hope is 2 Months Old!

Little Miss Mae is 2 months old and man what a difference a month makes. Month 1 was full of crying and well some more crying! Month 2 rolled around and I think she finally decided she liked us cause she is full of giggles, smiles, coos, and some pretty awesome sleeping at night. I don't blame her, it takes a bit to realize we aren't as crazy as we appear and are actually okay people to hang out with.

Miss Mae you are just so adorable. I am loving life with you. You, me, and the stroller take on the streets of Jaco everyday and you have made quite a little co-pilot! Bedtime is still between 7 and 8 and you are waking up around 3 to eat and then sleep till about 7. When you wake up at 7 you literally scream until we turn the light on, at which time you instantly smile, coo, and laugh for about 10 minutes until you realize you are absolutely starving :) Your laugh is hysterical! Instead of letting air out, you suck in to laugh making the funniest noise! I have yet to get it on video but am trying my hardest to capture your sweet laugh that sends your brother into giggles every time you do it. Your eyes are still a dark blue, and much darker than any of ours!

Big brother is definitely your biggest fan. I recently heard him tell his friend not to touch you because "she is sleeping and you have your own little brother!" Yikes, sorry Cam I think G realizes what he's been missing out on this whole time and is trying to make up for lost time. Maelie Bug, apparently you talk to big brother G...all the time. What are we chopped liver????? We are only getting the coo's and giggles!! He tells us all the time all the amazing things you say things to him when we aren't around, and I agree with him, you must be the absolute smartest baby ever!! I don't understand why you won't talk to us like you do with him, must be a special brother/sister bond. :) We definitely look forward to hearing all those words you are saying, maybe in about 2 years you will feel comfortable enough to actually talk in front of dad and I!

This month dad, you, and I went to immigration to start the residency process. Up until this point we have left every 90 days to renew our visa's. It's quite annoying to say the least, but now since you are here little woman, we don't have to!! Thanks for pulling your weight around here, oh which by the way is an impressive 10.8 pounds!

You still love having your little hands all up snuggled into you, it's so sweet!

You also think your fist taste really good :)

Still have your "Doh" face :)

Happy Girl!

Loving the raised eyebrow!

Our little Costa Rican Princessa

Someday we will get a picture of you and dad both looking at the camera :)

You are becoming quite friendly, even at Immigration you were making friends and forcing mom to speak Spanish :)

Sitting in line at Immigration with all of the other mom's and babies! I am always the only mom with a nursing cover up, I just can't bring myself to nurse without it even though it's totally culturally acceptable here!

The only one who watches American football with me. The boys are always skating or surfing...Mae hold strong for mom and never let other sports get in the way of Saturday college football games!
