Splish Splash

The pool opened this weekend.  Maura went on Sunday and Monday and she loved it.  It's like a giant bathtub. She kept wanting to walk from one end of the kiddy pool to the other and back again.  Looks like a fun summer ahead.

Getting our feet wet.

This is the best!

Teething Biscuits

They're delicious- but very messy.  I missed of photo op of her getting it on the bottom of my toe while we were enjoying biscuit number 2 outside.

Almost as delicious as mommy or daddy's finger...

Sometimes you need to hold a spoon for balance.

A Little Soft Shoe Number

Maura loves to play in what we call her "time machine".  (Thanks Graham for sending it our way!)  One of her favorite parts is playing music, specifically the William Tell Overture, and dancing along.  Here I've caught her practicing her latest tap routine.

What generally happens is once she starts the William Tell music, she turns to Jason or me with an expectant smile and waits for us to start singing and dancing along.  She may have a future as DJ Jazzy M.

My Dad is the Funniest Dad

I like to think of myself as a funny person, but around our house I play second fiddle to the most amazing comedian- Daddy.  Some days he doesn't need to do much more than walk into the room and Maura becomes hysterical.

Mother's Day

We had a great mother's day with my first crafty gift from Maura.  It was a great day spent playing around the house and picnicking in the front yard with my favorite people.

Foot print frame.  I love this frightening face she's making.  Classic.

Chewing on bottle caps takes a lot of concentration.
