We were in a silly mood – perfect to set the stage for Grandma Jill and Grandpa Mike’s arrival tomorrow!

From the monthly archives:
March 2011
Every once in awhile Grandma Gail and Grandma Jill can’t wait to see Maile so they head to the local mall and buy her some new outfits and send a package Maile Girl’s way. A funny thing happened last month. We got a package from Grandma Gail and it had a very cute green spring outfit in it. We loved it. Then a few weeks later we received a package from Grandma Jill. it too had a very cute green spring outfit in it. In fact, it looked kind of familiar. A quick check of Maile’s closest revealed that Grandma Gail and Grandma Jill have very similar taste (and luckily it is quite good!)
Spring finally broke in SF today and we decided to put our 2 very cute green spring outfits to work…
Dude, why are you wearing the same thing as me?
Let's hold hands...
It was REALLY hard to get the girls to stand together for a picture...
... so we had Megan snag both of them for a group shot!
Yay!
And before Hannah went home, we played ring around the rosie with Mommy...

The weather was beautiful tonight when Chris got home from work, so she headed outside with Maile Girl, the camera and the bubble gun. Up to this point Maile has mostly been content to let one of the adults handle the bubble gun, but tonight she decided to take control. Chris got so many great pictures, I couldn’t choose just a few, so I created a quick slideshow…

When your pacifier is out of reach ... Super Maile is there!
A few months back we were visiting Harold and he had this great cape. I found out that it was actually made by a local designer, Gabriela Amaya. I contacted her and she made custom capes for Maile and her cousins. Pretty sure that for whatever reason, I never posted pictures of Maile in the cape before – it is challenging because she is so fast when she is wearing it…
Sorry so blurry, Maile is just too fast when she is in her super gear...
All in all, it’s good to have a super hero around the house – even if she sometimes gets a little lost on the way to her rescues…

Katie bridge over Maile
Some of our long time readers might recall that the original inspiration for this blog came from Chris’ brother Steve and the amazing blog he’s been writing about his daughters (and Maile’s cousins), Katie and Emily, for the past 5(!) years.
He just posted some great stories from our time in Hawaii over Christmas and I thought I’d share them here as well.
- Dancing – if you only click over and look at one of these, make sure it’s this one – the second video in particular is a riot!
- New Doll House – amazingly no fighting…
- Musical Exchange – Maile and Emily cut a deal
- Goodbye Maile – Katie recounts what great friends she and Maile became during the trip

This is from Wednesday:
Daddy: Maile, what are you doing? Maile: I'm just waiting for Mommy to come home. Daddy: Mommy is in New York, she won't be home until Friday. Maile: Okay, I'll just wait.
This is from Thursday:
Daddy: Maile, what are you doing? Maile: Just making sure the door is working properly, I want to make sure Mommy can get home okay, I still haven't seen her...
(Dad note: Despite these photos and my captions, Maile is doing just fine. She certainly misses her Mommy, but we video chat at least once a day and Maile has been having lots of fun with Megan, Hannah and, of course, her Daddy…)

Chris is in New York again this week – so it’s just Maile Girl and I holding down the fort in SF. Things go pretty smoothly now. Although I have to admit to it being pretty exhausting. If I don’t hit the sack by 10:30 PM, I’m absolutely beat by the end of the next day. Last night I actually fell asleep reading a book to Maile – she woke me up by pulling my eyes back open – good times.
In any event, thought I’d share an example of what Maile sends to Mommy every morning. We get one back from Mommy too. Maile looks forward to them every morning.
We’re counting the days until Mommy comes home on Friday (that’d make it 2 more as of this writing!)

… just kidding! I like the rain. You don’t need to go anywhere 🙂
On Sunday, Daddy took me out for a bus ride and long walk home. He didn’t bring an umbrella so when it started raining, we got a little wet. I didn’t mind at all – ever since Hawaii, I like splashing around in the rain.
(Dad note: I do blame Maile’s current sniffles on this outing in the rain – but look how happy she is – how could I say no? BTW – I made this video fully on the iPhone using the new iMovie app. I used it to merge two clips and it was incredibly simple and fast too. Highly recommended.)
One last thing, my daddy was nominated as a “top daddy blogger” by Circle of Moms. Kind of cool (and since I give him all the material, I believe it reflects positively on me too 😉 Go vote for us (it only takes a few seconds): http://www.circleofmoms.com/top25/daddy-blogs?trk=t25_daddy

On Saturday after I woke up from my nap, Mommy and Daddy told me we were going on an adventure. We jumped in the car and drove for a long time – we even went over the big bridge – and ultimately we ended up at this enormous store. The biggest store I have ever seen! (Dad note: it was Super Target).
The store was awesome. I ran up and down all the aisles. I got a few presents and Daddy got shampoo. My best present was new shoes! At first I told Mommy I wasn’t so sure about them, but once I got home and tried them on, I knew they were awesome. I think they make me faster. I spent Sunday running all over the house just testing them out – Daddy caught a little of it on video. Don’t I look faster?

In the craziness of March Madness, we never posted our Maile Minute from this month.
One of these months we are going to move away from focusing on Maile eating, but for now its the easiest time to actually get her in one place for 60 seconds. Keep an ear out towards the end for Maile’s newest phrase (courtesy of Mommy): “Oh boy!”
As always, click here for previous Maile Minute entries.
