Maya is starting to do things that Magnus never did to us. I specifically chose the words, "to us," in order to emphasize how her actions are spurring us to use more surveillance, baby-proofing, and all around kung-fu reflexes.
Here are some examples:
Magnus is seeing his monopoly over his toy empire slowly eroding, as Maya wants to play with just about everything and we are forcing him to slowly give way. Despite this, every morning is a new day, and he still loves his little sister. Here are some things that Magnus is saying these days:
And now, life in pictures. Maya now officially sits in the high chair, and Magnus sits in the booster chair. It only took a couple of days of training before Magnus was happily repeating after me, "High chairs are for babies!"
This morning was nice and sunny after a rainy day yesterday.
Maya shows off her new decor (thanks to grandma!)
And finally, some shenanigans with foam blocks:
Magnus is good at NOT sharing:
And some cute father-son time:
Here are some examples:
- Maya will stand up in her crib and bounce. We lowered the crib 2 months earlier for her than we did for Magnus.
- Maya will stand up in her stroller and bounce up and down. Magnus never, ever, did this. Ever. We now strap her down every time.
- Maya will splash her bathwater so that it hits her face, and then giggle. She also tries to stand up in her bathtub and bounce.
- Maya had a sparkly, pink sticker appear in one of her doody diapers.
- Maya got stuck under the coffee table. She bumped her head a few times, and then screamed. In despair? No. In anger? Yes.

Lunch pre-empted
Gina: (rapping) What time is it? It's time for lunch!
Magnus: No, it's what time is it? It's time for potty!
Gina: You have to go to the potty?
Magnus: Yeah!
Gina: Go, go , go!!
Not sure I get the joke..
Gina: Did anything funny happen at school today?
Magnus: Yes. All my friends ate my donuts. (laughs)
Magnus disagrees with Dr. Seuss
Gina: One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish
Magnus: No, it's one fish, two fish, three fish , four fish
Gina: No, it's One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish
Magnus: No, it's white fish, green fish, red fish , blue fish
Running away with the thermometer:
Magnus: (singing) You can't catch my temperature!
Opening the curtain and letting the sunlight in:
Magnus: Mommy, it's light time!
Gina: It's daytime, Magnus
Practising for the Christmas concert:
Gina: Oh what fun, it is to ride, in a one horse open...
Magnus: Snake!
Gina: No, it's sleigh, Magnus
Magnus: No Mommy, it's snaaaake!
Imitating his Mommy:
Magnus: Do you know what, Mommy?
Gina: What?
Magnus: Water will make you feel better…
Maybe he's right:
Magnus: I is for ice cream! Mommy ice cream is good for you.
