Lately

We haven't done too much lately.

Ryan has had a deadline at work and has been working late every night for a couple of weeks (so I have too).

I have started waking up at 6 AM to work out and shower before Maya wakes up. I was trying to make time for it during the day, but since she only naps once now I need all of that time to work. I was running with her in a jogger so I could exercise while she was awake, but then it got cold. One day I said, "I need more hours in the day!" And then Ryan said, "You have them! Just get up before her!" What a brilliant man. It has really helped me feel like my day goes more smoothly and I love being showered in the morning instead of staying grubby until the late afternoon. One morning there was a beautiful sunrise.

I try to work a little in the mornings for as long as Maya will let me (or until I feel bad enough for "ignoring" her). This morning she was making a huge mess of papers next to me, like always, and then I hear her giggling a little and I look over and she's sitting in a box of old textbooks. She was excited she managed to get in there on her own!

We also went to the library for a little while today. She was having fun walking through the aisles and exploring. I so enjoy watching her curiosity.

That is a little of what we have been up to lately. Next week... Maya is modeling for the company I work for, we are shopping with my mom, we find out the gender of baby #2, and it's my birthday! Hopefully there is a little more excitement than sitting in a box.
