Trot Ol' Joe

Auntie Bebs caught Maura singing along to her favorite song, "Trot Ol' Joe" in the car today.  Whoa Joe!

Out for a Walk

Several weeks ago Maura took a liking to a certain small branch in the yard and named it "Puppy Stick".  Puppy Stick is now a full member of the family you gets regular walks and lots of love.

Auntie Bebs was visiting this weekend and took Maura and Puppy Stick for a walk around the block.  They also brought Maura's car and an umbrella.  Bebs caught several videos of their adventure.

Walking/Driving feet.

Maura and Puppy Stick reprimand the neighborhood dogs.

Puppy Stick gives up, but Maura keeps on the dogs.

Mother's Little Helper

When I got home from work last night, Maura took my hand and led me into the basement.  We went over to where we keep the dust buster plugged in and she clearly said to me, "Vacuum."  So we got the vacuum out and decided together that we should head upstairs and clean up around her chair.  She quickly took control of clean-up.

After she finished, she showed off a new skill- scooching down the stairs.  (I have to be very covert with my camera work or she starts crying that she's not also holding the camera.)

There's something on your Face

Auntie Bebs has a really hard time keeping her own face clean.

Call Her Maybe

There's nothing like a naked dance party to bridge the gap between bath time and bedtime.  Maura's a little late to the party, but call her maybe?
