Welcome to our *NEW* blog

I decided that I would get creative and make a cute blog this time. I figured it out on my own and can't wait to keep it up this time (we'll see)! Last time I did this, I updated it about oh every 6-8 months or so, and well when you have a little one, that just doesn't cut it - they change way too much in short amounts of time! I know this is a great way to keep everyone up to date on what happening in the Maynard household, so I'll do my best not to just let it go this time! Hope you enjoy!

Mary-Evelyn is now 16 months old and words cannot express how crazy we are about her! She is a sweet, well-adjusted baby and so friendly (she never meets a stranger)! My mom reminds me often of how blessed we are to have such a sweet and easy baby! Thank you, Lord! She is talking a lot - some of her words include baba (for her cup), baby (she loves her doll), oosh (shoe), lawn mower, ball, stick, and many more. We do the this nusery rhyme a lot and she knows how to respond. One, two, buckle my "oosh" (her response). Three, four close the "doh." Five, six, pick up "sticks!" She has recently learned how to drink out of a straw, so that's all she wants to do if we go out to eat. She's a very technical little girl. My dad says this is like Jon. Anything she gets, she either takes it apart or really studies it to figure out how it works. Decide for yourself who she looks like. I think that is no question, but most people say that they can maybe see a little bit of me in her!
