Amazing's First Summer (Part 1)

 This is a post of Pictures...

I take sooo many and would fill up most of everyone's time if I was to post them all individually so I crammed them into small, itty bitty collages.

This is the first summer, of many, for little Amazing Grace Peek. I am trying to keep up with her curiosity and excitement for life. Getting a little worn out but loving my time spent with her.  She keeps me laughing, her faces are to die for and she is the sunshine of my life.  Both JJ and I are CRAZY about our MAZI!!

We have tried out bike riding, cruising around in a "little tikes" car, had picnics with daddy, gone to the pool...many many times, visited friends and tried to fit in naps somewhere in between all that.

 Mazi's cousin CJ came to visit and they had such a good time together, he entertained her while I got some much needed break time...come back CJ!! Look at her faces...OMG!

 We joined the Peek family on a trip on the lake.  Captain JJ guided us for the day and set us up for quite the adventure as we navigated through a southern thunder storm. We all got soaking wet and broke a prop but landed in the harbor in one piece with only a few lost tears.

 

 Aunt Ambie and cousin Miloh came to visit for two weeks and it was a delight to share our every waking hour with these two, BBQs, walks, talks, and chillin with the babies was so nice. I personally can't wait to be near them again. These two girls NEED to grow up together!

Our family welcomed four new members. Pansey, Punkin, Pudin, and Posey. Some Long Island Red chickens. They have such funny personalities and are so fun to watch. Mazi is very entertained by them and other than eating their cage she talks to them and tries to mimic their calls. She is doing so good with animal sounds. She can mimic a horse, chicken, and airplane...oh yes, she loves airplanes.

Mazi is crawling, pulling up on everything, eating by herself, growing vampire teeth, potty's in the morning on a toilet, she says "Dada" "Mom""Up" "HI" and all kinds of other sounds that I'm not quite sure what they are yet.  She waves to everyone and everything and loves to clap at herself when she is proud of her achievements. She makes me laugh, even in the middle of the night when she tries to make new words as her dad and I try to sleep.

I'm trying to keep up with her and find she takes all my time, which for now is fine cause she is my world and she still uses me for her survival.  I am thrilled to give from my body. I am sooo grateful that I can do so. I find peace in the moments we share hugging and gazing at each other.

Thank you JJ for being patient with us.  We love you soo much as you make this learning experience much better because your our guy!
