So photogenic

Wednesday, May 13, 2009 -- So photogenic

Something about this dress I guess. M always takes the cutest pictures with this dress on!

No pants

Tuesday, May 12, 2009 -- No pants

I took a picture of M when she got her pants pulled down below her diaper; thought AJ would be proud. Soon after, the pants were gone, not sure how she did it. I read somewhere that babies her age like to get dressed and undressed; guess it's true for her as well.

All smiles

Monday, May 11, 2009 -- All smiles

M loves doing laps around the living room. It's even better when you chase her around. She starts screaming and flailing her arms. She likes to be caught, even though she tries to run away, she always ends up turning around and coming right towards you. So happy!

My first Mother's Day

Sunday, May 10, 2009 -- My first Mother's Day

Wonderful day: AJ made a nice breakfast; talked with Mom on the phone and realized I had flowers waiting on the front step for me (been there since Friday); AJ and M got me a nice card that M adopted and carted around the living room pretending to read it (so cute); went to Best Buy and purchased PSE, hooray; enjoyed relaxing, not feeling busy, and simply enjoying my family.

Walking with Daddy

Saturday, May 9, 2009 -- Walking with Daddy

We were on our way out to lunch, and I was about to pull the blinds shut when I saw AJ and M walking together to pick up the paper. I stood on the sofa to snap a picture. Wish I could have gotten closer, but the moment is captured. It really makes M look tiny!

Bubbles!

Friday, May 8, 2009 -- Bubbles!

M still doesn't totally get the idea of bubbles, but she still seems to have fun. I was difficult choosing my favorite of the pictures with her and the bubbles, but I love her pointed fingers in this one!

Ladybug Launch

Thursday, May 7, 2009 -- Ladybug Launch

Today we went to the Myriad Gardens for their "Ladybug Launch." We hadn't been there before, so I didn't know what to expect. They gave M a little cup full of ladybugs. We actually ran into Debbie and Meghan, so I had Meghan help M release her ladybugs since M didn't really understand what was going on. I knew we were pushing nap time being there, but it was fun to get out and do something.

We see this face a lot!

Wednesday, May 6, 2009 -- We see this face a lot!

M loves to play copy-cat lately. Her favorite seems to be screaming, thus we see this face a lot!

Happy Cinco de "Maya"

Tuesday, May 5, 2009 -- Happy Cinco de "Maya"

What if she were twins?? Now with M walking, she can get into everything! I can't imaging trying to corral two of her! Isn't her rain coat stinkin cute?!?


the Frankenstein walk

Monday, May 4, 2009 -- the Frankenstein walk

So goofy the things M does! Lately she's been walking around with one of her arms stuck straight next to her head. So silly. I'm always wondering what is going through her little mind.

Gotta make that silhouette

Sunday, May 3, 2009 -- Gotta make that silhouette

I saw a great idea on a blog of making a silhouette every year on the same day. I thought May Day would be perfect. I didn't get a great picture taken that day, but I think this one will work out well. I'm curious to see how your curls turn out!

Beautiful brown eyes!

Monday, April 27, 2009 -- Beautiful brown eyes!
I love how you are simply staring at the camera in this picture. Showing off your beautiful big brown eyes and gorgeous long eyelashes! Happily we had an enjoyable evening during which you carted blankets and pillows from one end of the living room and back. I can't say so much for our afternoon. I was busy trying to get your new gate installed, and you weren't too happy with me confining you to your pack-n-play. But after some cuddles and a nice afternoon nap, everything turned out alright, and now the living room is officially "baby-proofed!"

Grow

Sunday, April 26, 2009 -- Grow

I know I've said it so many times, but I love watching you grow. You are constantly testing us with your desire to explore. Today we simply couldn't keep you in the living room, you kept finding a little hole you could wiggle through. We've decided that despite our lack of handiness around the house, we are going to have to put up a gate. Guess we are going shopping tomorrow!

Beautiful Smile

Saturday, April 25, 2009 -- Beautiful Smile

Maya, you have the most beautiful smile! You are always on the move these days, and I never quite know what the picture will look like when I snap it. It just so happens that I got this beautiful one today, with natural lighting no less, no flash. What a priceless moment captured in time!

Friday, April 24, 2009 -- Playing around

Today you pulled out the Boppy pillow from under your activity center and carted it around the room. It was silly, and you looked so cute. You seemed to be posing for pictures!

Family Pic at the Zoo

Thursday, April 23, 2009 -- Family Pic at the Zoo

Daddy got off early today since he had to get re-certified in BLS, so we took advantage of the warm temperatures and went to the zoo. You actually liked the swings today! Hooray! I've always wanted you to enjoy swinging.

What a beautiful profile

Wednesday, April 22, 2009 -- Beautiful profile

Today was the first really warm day of the year. The news said temperatures reached 91 degrees. It was nice feeling the warm breeze, and I was finally able to dress you in some of your summer clothes. You are quickly out-growing the 9-12 month clothes, better get our use out of them! I love this picture of you while having a snack at Starbucks. What a beautiful profile!

Quite a stance

Tuesday, April 21, 2009 -- Quite a stance

You are such a strong baby! It is so much fun watching you walk around and explore. Today you were enjoying playing with the ribbon on your diaper bag. Whenever you are really focused on something, you make this "aghhhh" sound.

10 months old!

Monday, April 20, 2009 -- 10 months old!

Your photo shoot was quite a challenge! You thought it was so much fun to flip over as I tried to keep you on your back long enough to snap a picture. I got a few that are cute, just a little blurry, but they'll work just fine!
