Thanks to Kelly

I was having trouble uploading pictures, when a friend reminded me of our blog.  (Glad someone remembered about this thing.)  Thanks to Kelly you'll all be getting some updated pictures of Maya.  She's been pretty busy since her birthday.  We have some walking videos we'll try to post in the next week as well. 

Maya is very excited about her chickens.  Every morning she wants to check on them and help her daddy feed them.  Easily 20 times a day she asks, "Eggs?  Eggs?" to see if we'll go check for eggs with her.

Bubbles?!?!
Elephant Horse Ride
Our Speedy, Baby Elephant spent under 4 minutes in her Halloween costume.  It didn't help that I had made it out of a fleece sweatshirt, and it was one of the hottest Halloween weeks in years.



Playing in the leaves & free of her costume!

Playing peek-a-boo with our neighbor Julian.
(She loves Julian & he's the only reason I was able to distract her long enough to snap a couple Halloween costume pictures.)

Maya's Busy Weekend (6 months 2 weeks)

Maya doing her worm/butterfly stroke/scoot.
"I'm coming for you!"

This weekend Maya started exploring a crate of toys.

Pulling up to the crate (just want to nibble those little pea toes)
Holding tight so she can get to the goods.  (This is one of the crates Jessi's parents made & she used to play in when she was a baby.)

Ahhh... now she can pick out the best ones!


















Helping Daddy make dinner


















To our surprise, we turned around to this!  (Guess we won't be turning our backs to this monkey anymore!) 
Very wobbly on her feet, but on her feet all the same.

"Daddy, are you sure this isn't poison."

We Want Videos

Okay, okay.  We've heard your demands.  Here they are.
Feel free to fast forward, mute, or just plain skip them.

(We'll work on getting higher quality ones uploaded next time)
