the cold

i was told that we would be wearing shorts through november when we came to texas.  and for the most part we did.  this last week however, was seriously cold.  even for virginia standards.  we had some seriously cold nights, and we had to go buy fuzzy jammies for mae because it was so cold!

this was the before the cold front came.  mae has made it her life mission to climb on top of these things.  she still hasn't made it yet, but she has gotten pretty darn close.

this kid loves the playground.  she climbs, hangs, and swings on anything she can reach.  i'm glad we made so many trips to the park the week prior to the cold.  because last week, we seriously were inside all week.  one day we walked outside from the car to the mall and mae yelled "yay outside!!".
friday was supposed to be warm..er.  but it wasn't.  but this girl could not handle being inside anymore.  after some tears, and some bundling i let her go outside.  she swept the driveway for probably 30 minutes.  and as you can see, we are the only souls outside!  but, it made her happy.

 this kid loves to sing.  whenever we're in the car, or when she's playing she sings to herself.  last sunday i caught her trying on my shoes singing to herself.  i love hearing her sing.  she does a pretty mean version of "happy birthday", and recently has added "row, row, row your boat"


 cody has been great at getting us out and doing something fun on saturdays. it's been a lot of fun for us to do things together, and to explore austin.  this past saturday we decided to head downtown to the capital.  neither of us had been there.  it was really awesome.  you can just walk around and see all the rooms.  which, is totally not what happens when you go to any museum or building in DC.  so, it was a really fun experience for us.

mae loved it too.  i have to say, this girl does really well when we travel, and try new things...for the most part. she's a trooper.

if possible, i think this girl might love pizza as much as her daddy.  friday night is usually pizza night in the baldwin home.  last week, i just made a frozen pizza, and the light in the oven had to be on the whole time so she could watch the pizza cook.  i love when she gets excited about things!  it reminds me to stop and enjoy the simple things.  love her
