We're Still here. :)

Sorry it has been so long since our last post. I promise to write sometime soon, this week! :) Here is a picture of Maile giving Sean some Happy Birthday Daddy Baloons! And here is a little picture of Maile finger painting for the first time. She was quite a mess, but quite the little artist. :) More will come soon!

First little steps!

Maile officially took her first 3 steps this past Easter Sunday! We were so super proud! When we get a video we will absolutely post it! Yay for our little sweetie! She is going so strong!
Yay for little milestones!

A quick update on us...

I should be finishing a paper but I thought I would take a few moments to update everyone on Our lives. We spend so much time informing you about the great milestones in Maile's life that I compeltely forget about ours. :)

We will both be graduating this year. I will be graduating in August with a degree in Recreation Management and Youth Leadership and Sean will be graduating in December with a degree in Biology with a minor in Business. He will be walking with me in August, anyone who wants to share the excitement is welcome! I believe the date is August 15...I will have to check on that. We will both be done with our on-campus classes in June. We are so excited.

We are starting the job hunt and aiming for somewhere around Salt Lake. This way Sean will be able to continue with his job while he goes back to school for his MBA in a few years (After some great work experience). We are excited for this next chapter in our lives! If anyone knows of a job up Sean's ally just let us know! :)

Sorry this is so short but I have to turn this paper is due by midnight and I hope to be sleeping well before that time. :)

We send everyone our love! Let us know how you all are doing!

The Petersons

A tooth?

It seems that today Maile is beginning to cut her very first tooth! Hooray!

We will keep you all posted with pictured once the pearly white really starts to show up.

A few spaghetti videos...

Spaghetti number 1 and number 2...

Spaghetti

Maile had her first introduction to Spaghetti a few days ago and it was so cute that today I documented the moment and want to share. Holy Cute!

She is getting funnier and funnier everyday! She stands up to everything, walks around the furniture and when she feels like it lets go, but of course when she realizes she is standing by herself, she falls down. haha. So funny.

She is making all sorts of sounds like "bda, da da, ma ma, bla bla, la la, dy dy dy...mmm" etc. We are pretty sure she is going to be master musician.

She also follows us everywhere. If one of us leaves the room, she is sure to crawl right after us to make sure she doesn't get left out of any fun. Maybe when she is older we can lead her to the sink and she can help with dishes!

A few pictures...

Playing with her toys, Check out that hair!!

Enjoying a nice pickle. haha, who knew?
Showing off just how cute she is.

Cheesy Smile

Trying to figure out why I keep taking pictures.

Eating delicious spaghetti! Mmm.

With the Incredibles Playing in the background.

What looks like a Pouty face is actually just her chilling face.

After eating spaghetti the first time. She was little happy. :)

For Mama! :)

These are some pictures from the last month. Sorry there aren't too many. Our camera was full so we've only taken a few. I'll empty it out and then take more! And a cute little video. Maile is getting so grown up! The following is a list of things she is now doing:

• Sitting up with no support (since 4 months)
• Sitting up from laying down (since 7 months)
• Rolling over (since 3-4ish months)
  
• Eating solid foods(since 4 months)
• Making a million noises all the time (new ones since 5 months)
  
• Eating finger foods (since 6-7 months)
• Clapping (7-8 months)
• Dancing to music (7-8 months)
  
• Standing up to the couch and Everything else!! (8 months)
  
• Moving around things while holding on tightly(8 months)
• Having separation anxiety...every time we walk out of the room or are not within sight. (8 months)
  
• Growing a little more hair (a long process :)

And so much more...

Maile after having some snacks...this is why you use bibs every time! haha.

Maile in Sean's guitar case...Cute but didn't go over so well...haha

Starting her out young...haha. She loves to play with anything that is not a baby toy :)

Some yummy juice.

A few photo's from the last couple months.

Our little Christmas table.


Our Christmas tree. This is the side view because you couldn't get a full picture from the front

Our little Santa Baby


Happy but not too much about the hat.

Getting her kitty from Daddy

Apparently it was a big hit...

She loves stuffed animals!

Tucker was being such a great cousin and playing blocks


Like Father like...daughter? Only moments before Sean's mouth was hanging open as well.


Christmas day and our new Pajama bottoms, SO comfy!


Maile was pretty tired after all of that playing, and no I was not trying to look seductive. haha.


At home enjoying her new blocks

When she gets excited there is no hiding it!

She is getting all grown up, she now eats (all by herself) cheerios, string beans, cheese cubes, and anything else she can get her hands on, which things are not always edible. The baby proofing stage has begun.

Just so sweet!

Snuggles with Daddy.

We have had a great past few months and now a month into the semester. All three of us are learning new things everyday, but the most exciting ones are Maile's.

We hope you are all doing well!

Love, Us.
