Check out the sweater Maizy is wearing-isn't it gorgeous? Her Grama Good made it for her!! Can you believe that?!

Well, it's official-Maizy is sitting completely by herself and not wobbly anymore. She's getting ready to crawl too! Maizy's not up on her hands and knees rocking yet, but she's trying to push off the ground with her toes and gets frustrated when she can't move to get something that's out of reach the she wants. It's so fun to see her progress in all the things she can do. She's eating everything now too-all sorts of nummy baby food, and she's starting to eat little finger food baby crackers. Stop growing up!!! Maizy is an absolute delight-smiles, and personality galore. She definately will let you know when she wants to do something different or is done eating. Everything is so entertaining to us.

This past weekend Maizy and i went to Iowa to see a concert with her great auntie jane, great uncle phil, and cousins drew and bekah. Grama Good came up saturday morning to love up Maizy and it was so great. The weather for the concert stopped us from going-raining, but was 14 degrees! We slid through an intersection, and three cars in front of us on the freeway slipped right off the road. So the next night, John Waller (the concert we were going to) held a concert at Auntie's friend Kate's house, and there was about thirty of us sitting around her family room while he gave us an intimate acoustic concert in front of the fireplace and christmas tree. It was so spirit-filled and incredibly moving. Maizy continued to show us her heart for praising and worshiping Jesus by how enthralled she was with it-she stayed awake for the whole performance (of course, she doesn't want to miss a thing!). The most incredible baby-perfect i should say. All in all, the weekend was incredible, and Maizy was great in the car too (thank God!).

Maizy's great grama and great grampa called us up last night last minute to meet them out for dinner because they were going through Maizy withdrawl. What a blessing for us to be able to jump in the car and spend the evening with them! And Maizy hammed it up and put on a show for them too, and they ate her up!! We love getting to spend so much time with Nans and Bomps.

Blessings to you all!!
